What did you do for your 18th/21st?

18th - Night in town with all my mates

21st - Party with all of the extended family and friends. My Dad's 50th, my 21st and my sisters 16th all in the same month. We had a professional party planner if you would, come in and prepare a Bond theme night. Croupiers, tables, racing simulator, the works. Everybody in suits, tuxedos and all the women in cocktail dresses. Me and my dad were the only ones in a white tux :)

Finished it all off by heading in to town suited and booted with all my mates. The hospitality and general craic from everybody was brilliant when we were all dressed up like that, moreso towards me since I stood out in white :D

Gotta say it was the best birthday ever, really hope I can do something like that for my kids some day :D
 
18th - Had a 'P' themed party whereby everyone had to come as something beginning with P. We had pimp, postbox, penguin, powerpuff girls, pirates, priests, pussy cats, presents etc.. probably one of the most memorable nights out at university.

21st - Had a meal at Wahaca in London on my actual Birthday. (Brilliant place by the way, everyone in London should try it!) Next day was Friday so got a load of friends to a social club with cheap drinks in London. Had an absolutley epic time, and then everyone headed out to the clubs. Next day parents had planned a big party at home. The journey from London back to Bradford was difficult! :) This was more of a family friends party, brilliant nonetheless.

I wouldn't change anything about them, I had an awesome time, good memories!
 
For my 18th I was at a European Youth Conference in Norway, paying silly prices for smokes and beer. My room consisted of myself (scottish) and representatives from Oxford and Belfast, someone room planning had a sense of humour.

For my 21st I spent the majority of the night getting hit on by my sleazy mates new (at the time) surgeon gf. No I didnt in case anyone asks.
 
18th went to Storm at the Emporium in Coalville where they also hold Passion events, Storm is the harder night, one of the best in the UK
21st, pretty much the same :)
 
18th - Was in Monaco on a 30 day euro trip with mates. Needless to say, it was the best birthday ever. Went to a really really nice beach in Antibes just 20 minutes from Nice. Then spent the rest of the day in Monaco, had a ride in a Ferrari 360 around the Monaco F1 track. Went into one of the famous casino's there. Ate at a nice restaurant, saw a lot of supercars and superyatchs, just generally had an amazing day :D.

21st - Was on an out of the blue trip to Newquay, got drunk, the usual, nothing special but still quite fun
 
18th - Glandular fever and jaundice so think I was awake for about 5 hours that day

21st - Can't remember, started in the Polish club. It went down hill from there.
 
18th - Went out to see the family in Portugal. Didn't really have a good time. I was rather introverted at the time and just couldn't get into the party spirit.

21st - Got transported to an alternate reality and loved everyone for 4 hours while at Brixton Academy listening to Hot Chip who i'd never heard of before that night.
 
This was my 21st in 1979, there was about 500 people there -

And I was teetotal then.
In fact I was teetotal until I was 40.
 
18th - I was on a plane to Hongkong with family for 4 days in hong kong followed china for 3 weeks incuding a yangtze river cruise. Went out with friends when I got back and got drunk

21st - Went for a meal with friends then got drunk after. A few months later went to Whistler (Canada) Skiing with my dad (mum cant ski)

Both awesome, have had many excellent birthdays and always done something good :)
 
18 - No idea.

21 - The day before my bday I met a girl at badminton practice. I spent two days at her flat thereby missing the actual day of my bday. No biggy, I had fun :p

Do you mind me asking why you decided to not teetotal after that?

From the age of 14 I always made the statement 'It all tastes the same like poo' and I continued that all my life.
I worked with real ale drinkers and it wound them up whenever they were talking about ales so this one night they insisted I went out with them to try different beers.
I was wrong and I got a taste for certain real ales although I now prefer a cold bottle of Newcastle Brown.
I go out twice a week and allow myself one bottle each night but about once every 3 months I might have up to 4 in one night - WOW.
 
18th Went out clubin and ended up in a punch up. Out numbered but came out OK.

21st Terrible night, best friend was scheming to break me and my girlfriend up. A week later he did. 18 months later, I broke his nose.

Have calmed down a bit these days.
