It's unfair that people can get drunk off of 1-3 beers. I usually drink 3-5 bottles, and it barely makes me buzzed.
Sadly that's where I am, it seems like it takes a 6pack of tallboys to start the night. A couple scotch's will still do the trick though.
My recommendation is to move onto some fancy fancy beer. Idk what is in those tallboys, but I can almost guarantee that if you were drank six of something that didn't come in a 24 oz. can (with a few exceptions) you would feel it in the end.
Wait a second... you people drink to get drunk? I mean, "Gee, it sucks that it takes me 10 beers to get drunk" sounds kind of like you have a small problem there buddy...
Yeah, at that age it can be weird. Oddly enough, in as little as 3-4 years it would be less weird, and then within another 5 it would cease to be weird almost entirely.
I feel creepy as a 21-year-old knowing my 17-year-old friend has a crush on me. So I can definitely see the 25-18 split feeling creepy.
I feel like those age divisions happen because "maturation" doesn't happen at a uniform rate across your whole life. A 15-year-old would have less in common with a 25-year-old than that same 25-year-old would have in common with a 35-year-old.

I don't, that day just happened because I was in good company, I was not gonna drive, and I just wanted to test myself. Also, Irish car bombs, who knew? :P
This weekend I ran into a girl that was 17 when I was 21 and at the time specifically avoided starting anything due to the age gap. Now that I'm 27 and she'd be ~23 I definitely had a "what the fuck was wrong with 21 year old me" moment. No actual regret, but reading that commentary I've been there, I've not done that. And then smacked my forehead a bit.
I did the 18/25 split when I was 25. She was extremely intelligent, which allowed her to bluff more maturity than she actually possessed. It was very short lived, although the sex was temporarily fantastic.
In the US there are some weird boundary lines between things like "High school" person and "College" person that are definitely factors. It can range from non-issue to very creepy, especially if it's a repeat offender that seems to be perpetually hovering around girls just past the statuatory line.
I'm not fussed by big age gaps alone, even if one of them is 18-20. If the older one is clearly taking advantage of the younger one then yeah, it's creepy, but it isn't safe to assume that automatically. People are too varied and complex to think that an 18-year-old can't have a healthy relationship with somebody in their late 20s.
This conversation actually makes me feel way better about myself, considering Chris is nearly two years younger than me. The thing is, we're at pretty much the same place in life and in a lot of ways, we balance out really well. I do think he and I have different ideas about dating in some ways, but those ideas also tend to balance each other out so... really, the 2 years thing doesn't make any difference, despite the fact that people pick on me about it constantly.
