Me and my friend are going out to dinner with a couple ladies tonight would it be outta line for me and my buddy to drink, (couple beers) while the ladies aren't allowed to drink cause they are 20?

It would help me relax a little but I dont want to be a jerk and drink when they can't.

Ask them.

... save the drinking for later - not with the girls. If you need a few drinks to relax and loosen-up, you're going about this from the wrong angle.

+1.

Be responsible enough for their safety to not drink, and not run the risk of having someone think you're feeding them drinks.

I downed a nip of peppermint schnapps before I picked up my wife on our first date. Stupid me, I was holding it in my steering hand and spilled alot of it when I turned to make a corner on my way to her house. Needless to say, I had to go home and change before picking her up and lied about not finding her house because it took so long to get there. Drink and date at your own discretion

If you have to drink to "help you relax", you're on your way to being a chump alcoholic with DUIs on your record or worse. You'll find no sympathy here.

Personally...I'm kind of shy around girls before I get to know them...a few drinks helps out a lot...

Just kidding, I'm 20, and therefore, would no nothing of the effects of alcohol.

Ain't nothin wrong with bustin  back a couple brews or a shot or two if you are nervous.  I used to go to some big archery tournaments where there were as many as a hundred shooters.  When I got there I would drink one LoneStar to smooth the feathers as it were.  Then I would chase that with a little diet coke or Dr. Pepper.  Once you get in there you will calm down anyway and things will be allright.

How...constructive.

You guys should think of yourselves as hosts, if your guests(your dates) can't do it, then you shouldn't either. Stick to Cokes & Pepsis, they know you're over 21, so there is no need to prove it.

The polite thing would be to wait until after dinner, at yours or your buddies house, so all four of you can drink, again, only with the ladies approval.

1 beer has very little effect on me but calms me a bit. Come on you never have a beer to relax a bit???

1st date,  if they are hot,  get intoxicated on them.  
My wife and I had dinner,  then got a couple of cappuchino's and drove around looking at christmas lights for our first date.     No alcohol.   Heck yes I was nervous.

Just relax. Have a beer, and leave it at that while at the restaurant.

Your dates should expect that if they are going out with someone that's old enough to purchase alcohol that it's perfectly normal for that person to do so.

Before I turned 21 I would go places with friends older than 21 and I never threw a fit or got upset when they could drink and I couldn't.



As long as you don't get shitfaced drunk or otherwise make an ass out of yourself then you should be okay.

I wouldn't drink if you want to get laid.
