My wife and I just after our Orthodox wedding ceremony, next to the Bronze Horseman, where all Piterskie couples must be photo'd ASAP.
you look like your avatar, just younger. I can only hope. set second the motion, btw, that no one here, with the exception of Gebre Menfes Kidus, because his avatar has often been his photo, looks anything like I imagined. ISA, I really just assumed that you looked like St. John of Damascus. |

Theoretically yes, each state can set it's own drinking age. In practice 21 is pretty universal. Some states allow 18 yrs to buy beer I believe. My avatar is me on a good day. |

IIRC the 21 age was required at about 1984. Not trying to show your age or anything. |
