I turned fucking 18!!! Finally it's legal for me to drink beer!!

Gotta try coding while bring drunk😱 I wonder what it would be like.

Oh man I wish... Gotta wait till 21 or take a trip to canada

@hitchhiker42 your username is awesome!! 42 == *

Hello fellow dutchie! I was 16 when I was first allowed to drink (with the old legislation), and turned 18 just as the new legislation was passed haha. Cheers :)

As fellow Dutchman I wouldn't recommend going fully drunk and coding. Slightly tipsy works for me 😬

Being slightly drunk actually makes you more productive

I tried vodka&code recently, worked great but I can't understand what I wrote

@sam9669 read it with more vodka

@Letmecode it changed a few years ago😢

Once I was so drunk I could barely stand up, so I decided to just spend some time in front of my pc and add controller support to one of my programs (cause why not). Somehow the code for it ended up much cleaner than the stuff I usually write ^^

Relevant

in Slovakia it's 18. not that I drink since I was 15 lol. nothing strange here. oh and happy bday! :)

The fact that Americans can drive being 16 (16?) years old, but can't drink till they're 21 always always makes me wonder who made those decisions.
It's so much worse to fuck up while driving than to drink too much for a night, maybe somebody should take that into account

Buzzkill:
Alcohol is harmful for your brain, if you want to be a successful programmer, keep drinking water!

@antons water and coffee😍

Ah well, @antons Live a life where you count every calorie, drink/eat only healthy and die at 100 years old doing exactly that or just live not bound by rules but by moments and enjoy it all and die at 70 :)

@Jappe, gefeliciteerd! Ik drink er een op je!

Gefeliciteerd Japp

Coding drunk? 10/10 would recommend, just make sure you're not TOO drunk...

And make sure you don't give a fuck about the code you're working on because coming back to it later will be impossible 😂

@Jappe thanks!

@taylorviktorya or try tequila

Gefeliciteerd!

Tip: Skip the Heineken and other piss, and enjoy an IPA (Flying Dutchman), Belgian special (La Chouffe, Duvel), or a German Weizen.

Getting drunk is a productivity killer, but the little buzz from a single glass of beer can certainly help with the creative process and social skills.

@antons Let me tell you a story.
Antelopes move at the pace of the slowest one in the herd. When a lion attacks, it targets the slowest antelope. So a lion actually helps the herd move faster and avoid future dangers.
Brain cells work like a herd of antelope, at the pace of the slowest one. Alchool kills the weaker and slowest first. So alchool allows your brain to function faster.

Joke aside, I don't think things work as stated above. If you drink too much too often you're not going to last long. But getting drunk once in a while, or drinking some wine once in a while will actually do you more good.

@Gobbas tequila is amazing. Taking a break from it so i don't get tired of it

Tfw
> im danish
> legal age for booze with ABV 16.5% or less is 16

Germany
16 till 18: up to 5%
18++: everything you want

There's nothing cool or impressive about drinking.

Same as the rest of us.. Drunk screaming at the error message gremlins. Those hooligans are at it again, I tell ya!

@stop the netherlands:
18->everything you want
And whem youbare 18 you can start driving cars (on your own)

@SSDD there is indeed nothing impressive about it, but I just want to try it and know what the fuzz is about. 😇

Ask yourself: why is there a minimum age for drinking in the first place?

@antons because of alcohol having a bigger effect on you while still young and growing?

@Codex404 bigger, so you do realize there is always a negative effect. Good.
