Well I am high and drunk as I type this, but I was caught about half an hour ago by the police. We were drinking and smoking at a party my friend threw and the cops showed up and busted it. Luckly they didnt know about any marijuana they just took our names, numbers, and adresses down for drinking. I was wondering, if anyone else was in the same situation and was busted for drinking at 18 and what the consrquences were. I already came clean to my dad and told him what happened, but he didn't care much and knows that it is my responsibility because I am 18. If anyone has some experiences and stories from this situation I'd like to know what their consequences were.
If they just took down ur names and numbers, didn't issue any tickets, i doubt shit will happen. You got lucky this time.
Cops busted a party at 18? Shit, they are some harsh pigs. They ignore parties at 15 here, even though everyone is wasted. But the drinking culture in Britain is completely different; youths are expected to drink.
Right on, thats what I was thinking too. They were actually pretty cool about it, there were quite a few of us there last night, and we all cooperated and they didn't search for drugs. I am just wondering about my friend who threw the party, I need to talk to him soon its fucking, 9 in the morning, I got up at 8 after a night of drinking, go figure. And yes cops bust parties around here for anyone under 21, in my town there isn't much crime so cops have the time to bother teens for drinking, and smoking.
Yeah US sucks with drinking age...and in my state they even raised the age to 19 for buying ciggarrettes.
^you think that sucks? you know in england weed is a class C drug, where I live (jersey channel islands......google it...) its a class B, meaning that if you are caught and found guilty of trafficking it you can be sent to prison for up to 14 years. wooo! just thought i'd share that...
Good thing nothing bad has happened to you. I don't think the cops do anythign when they just write your name and shit down. Once me and 3 friends and my little brother were shooting off firecrackers at some creek. It was right next to some houses and some person called the cops. The pig was all pointing his gun and yelling at us like he was special or soemthing. Then he seen it was just a couple of kids and put it all down. We were all really nervouse as hell. The cop said it soounded like gun fire so that's why he was taking it so seriuosly. He just wrote our names and addresses down, told us he would call our parents and tell them about it. Haven't heard anything about it since.
