Pipe Tamper
What age is it socially acceptable to drink and smoke?
Other than the age of majority. Although this is odd for a 14 year old I enjoy cigars and pipes. I also like rum, wine, rye, scotch and of course beer. I am no means a "goodie two shoes" I like to party but I am responsible (even when pretty stoned and hammered.) All my friends seem to drink coolers or very light beer with cheap gas station cigars or cigarettes Where I like full bodied beer like Guinness or Keith's white and strong cigars such as Casa Magna Colarada Roubusto or a Pedron. My parents think im trying to grow up to fast but im just being myself - I keep my grades up im on the football team and student council so why should I be socially frowned upon? I don't have a problem with that at school, every one thinks its pretty sweet but yet i get turned away from a cigar lounge even though i brought my own or they wont sell me a pipe tamper because "I shouldn't need one"
I live in canada - you have to be 19. The laws are also looser
Wait...they wouldn't sell you a pipe tamper? Did they expect you to pipe tamper someone to death? Oh god, I'd have gone to jail for buying my grandfather presents.
"Socially acceptable" depends on the nature of the society you're evaluating. In the middle ages, it was perfectly acceptable for a middle-aged man to marry a girl in her teens. Because of dowries being involved, this was pretty much considered a reality through the 1800's. In these days, that would get you on a website for sex offenders, and probably a tracking anklet. Or lynched.
In France, the drink accompanying dinner is almost always wine, even served to children, albeit watered down. In other parts of Europe, if you can reach the bar, you can drink.
As a vet, I always thought it practical that if you could vote and die for your country at 18, you should be legally able to drink at that age. That was until I had teenagers. I told them they'd be allowed to drink when they reached 30. And allowed to date when they reached 40. And I wanted a full-background check on any potential suitors.
Having lost my train of thought, I return to this basic tenet I had as a soldier: If you can die for your country and vote at 14, you should be allowed to drink at that age.
As far as the cigar and pipe: you have to be 30 to smoke a cigar or 40 to smoke a pipe, without looking like an idiot. Maybe you could tell people you're just a young-looking midget.
