i turn 21 today

You're legally allowed to buy alcohol as long as you're 21. Where you come from doesn't make a difference. The cashiers that turned down Maria were most likely ignorant.

This is indeed probably the case. :I

I only drink girly drinks, like Margaritas and stuff. Fruity or dessert type drinks. Everything else tastes disgusting, to me. I accidentally took a drink of my dad's beer at a wedding when I was 4, and now 20 years later I still can't even stand the smell of them.

Fruity drinks are delicious. Only kind I'd ever casually drink.
