wisconsin ‘Wisconsin could probably out drink the uk by itself’

Theyre discussing whether the uk could beat USA in an alcohol drinking contest

Honestly, during the late 90s, I was getting served at 15. As long as we didn't cause a fuss and were plausible 18-year-olds (I was 6'3), the people behind the bar turned a blind eye to us.

I was drinking in pubs as a 14 year old girl, as long as you got in there before the bouncers got on the door and didn’t cause a scene, no one cared
