Saturday 19.4.2014 Thoughts about alcohol

Hi!

We are driving back to home now. We had very good day, daddy and Valtteri enjoyed car expo and I found almost everything I needed. I will take pictures and show to you tomorrow.

One of my friend has 18 birthday tomorrow and I know that there is enought alcohol too so I want to write about this subject.

I have grown up in Finnish culture, like you know. Usually we think that  Finnish alcohol culture is everything but cool. When Finnish drinks, he or she really drink. As much as possible, as long as possible and as strong alcohol as possible. Sounds good, not. 

But this is just typical for this country. I'm lucky my family and relatives don't do this or at least I haven't ever seen it. Everybody have normal and healthy (if it's possible to say that) idea about drinking. 

For example French and Spanish have different culture. They usually drink glass of wine with good friends and that's normal. And it sound more sophisticated than Finnish style, if you ask me.

Why I wanted to write this subject of matter?

Because I will turn 18 quite soon and then alcohol is legal for me and my friends. Friends have 18 birthdays all the time. Of course those who want to drink they drink before 18 year, but it's different when you have to ask somebody buy it to you or you can buy it yourself. 

The way I have learned at home is very good. I haven't ever want to drink and I think my willing birthday is not change it. To my mind it's possible that I will be total abstainer in the future also and it's completely my own decision.

Many Finnish young might think why I don't wanna drink? Why I don't wanna drink in my 18 birthday? Because I can see that alcohol doesn't do anything good, it makes you look stupid, you can't remember what you have done, it smells horrible,... Now I have also seen completely different way to think about it and maybe most important reason for me is that it breaks body. 

For me it's completely ok if people wanna drink. It's normal here but it's not reason to me to drink. I have to say that when I'm the only one who don't drink, it's quite funny see how people change. If they are still ok! I mean I don't want to be nanny for any drunk friend.

But hey party hard, how ever you want! This is my way, what's yours?
