My son turn's 18 tonight

We're going to the local for a pint, might have a chat about the burds. Talk shit about football, do the pub lotto!, introduce him to the other bar flies. Run through some pub etiquette - no religion or politics..

Then its party time!.

Anyway, I'm happy as a pig in poo

Happy birthday to him.

Turned 18 last year and had a great time hanging around with my dad, dad got cooler as well.

kowloon · 20-02-2010 05:43PM

You could have a bit of the craic by telling him that now he's 18 it's time he knows he was adopted. Then you can go on to make up all sorts of stuff about his drug addicted parents and their band of roving gypsy friends.

That's what I'd do; but don't drag it out for too long.

minidazzler · 20-02-2010 05:47PM

Remember the golden rule to teach him, not tonight because it's his birthday, but for in future.

Get your fcuking round in, don't dodge it!

Giselle · 20-02-2010 06:23PM

Congratulations on raising your son to adulthood OP. You must feel very proud.

Enjoy your first night out as adults together.:)

The Saint · 20-02-2010 06:40PM

Fair play to both of you Mairt. Just remember, he's still young enough to be embarrassed by hid old man so pull down your pants, jump up and down and scream "he's my son" while pointing at him. Have a blast in the pub.

InKonspikuou2 · 20-02-2010 07:11PM

My parents weren't alive for my 18th. I know it's a trivial enough thing but having my first legal pint with the family was something i really wish i could have done. Enjoy Makikomi.

20-02-2010 09:44PM

Another 7 years a n I'll be taking my son to the pub, hopefully they'll still be around then!

Anyway you know you're getting old when your youngest moves into an old folks home! :pac:

its a sad indictment of ireland today when a son reaching his eighteenth means his father has to bring him out and take him down the same sorry road he once took.

OP: tip for tonight, remind your young fella that the first aspect of the human personality to dissolve in alcohol is dignity, no doubt he'll already know that from watching you stagger through that door for the last eighteen years

Congratulations on introducing your son to the stagnant hell that is average irish life.

Seriously people in this country just go to the pub every week and never do anything else with their lives. I know a plethora of young men that do nothing and basically have no life, they just spend there days in the same pubs talking to the same people and getting pissed.

Im 17, i dont drink and ive done more than alot of 30 year olds in my area.

Drinking in pubs =| my goal in life.

Live life a little before you start giving advice on life.

To quote one of my drunkard idols, "I don't trust a bastard who doesn't drink, They're afraid of revealing their true selves."

Thank you Mr. Bogart.

Teutroix. you have lived nothing in life, I used to be teetotal until I was 17, adamant I would never drink, now I drink, and I haev to say, being drunk is glorious.

It makes other people more interesting, it makes me immune to criticism and I can counter all negative effects you can come up with.

Long-term effects on my liver? I don't plan to live past 50 anyway and I take way too many sober risks.

Makes me an assho*e? Nope, I am an assho*e anyway.

You seem to think everyone who drinks does so to get sh*tfaced and nothing more.

I do it because I love alcolhol, and it makes me warm and fuzzy inside!

Don't knock it til ya tried it.

stovelid · 20-02-2010 11:54PM

Must be a great feeling. And no better Da for him to to have for that time.

Congratulations and fair play to ya.

Yeah, everything can seem very absolute at seventeen, but it's not. Mature enjoyment of alcohol is an exceptional pleasure. A friend of mine is living in Germany at the moment. He's home for a short break, so he came over the other night, we cracked open a bottle of sixteen year old Bushmills and talked well into the wee hours over some very good whiskey, which I enjoyed enormously. Did the whiskey influence the conversation? No, but I enjoyed drinking it, and the combined experience was richer and more fulfilling than the sum of its parts. Live a little, then worry about giving life advice.

marbar · 21-02-2010 12:08AM

pretty cool that he's going for pints with his da on his 18th

Thanks, but honestly. Let the nah sayers have their fifteen sec's of fame.

Here's some of the lads..

Having the craic tonight, honestly having an absolute ball.

marbar · 21-02-2010 12:15AM

jaysus get off the board at the party!

Red_Marauder · 21-02-2010 12:19AM

I have been feeling quite man broody for some time. I thought this was only supposed to happen to women.

I notice things now that I never used to - kids playing with their Dads in the park near my house, families out shopping... and I have even picked my son's name.

I'm 23 so its too young to start making plans or anything but I guess i always wanted to be a Dad. I like the idea of teaching my kids stuff and taking them camping and giving them advice on lbeing good people... and rushing off with a brief case still drinking my coffee, like on a 1980s Just For Men ad.

OK I probably have an overly idealistic perception of it. Or maybe I just want a little army of minions. Either way, I'm definitely feeling broody. It's strange. And the OPs post about his son turning 18 just reminded me of it all. Any other guys get this?

Sugar Free · 21-02-2010 12:21AM

Congratulations Makikomi, I think I recognise one or two of those lads from my local - probably well before they were 18!

Enjoy the night.

If you're only 17 years old then how the fúck do you know what the 30 year olds in your area done 13 years prior to your existence.

And i don't think drinking in pubs is a goal in most peoples lives. It's an outlet away from every other goal.

I have drank, but I can have more fun without mind altering substances and i can wake up hangover free every morning. If you cant enjoy life without drink you dont know how to appreciate life, there is nothing wrong with drinking, but its the people who waste away in the pub for their entire life I find disgraceful, i know of people that have never left county kerry and they are fully grown adults, ive been to at least 9 different countries, so from one perspective ive lived more than alot of people.

I get to another mile stone tonight!..
