    I couldn't agree more. Being honest with myself, the earliest I could have possibly even considered being married was 26. I was engaged when I was 22, but that one fell through. Looking back on it today, I view that as a good thing. When I started dating that woman I was just 19, and I certainly didn't have much in the way of real world experience. As it turns out, I didn't get married until I was 29.

    As far as kids go, well, my wife and I are trying right now. (Well, not *right now*, as in this exact moment, but we're at a stage where we wouldn't mind if she got pregnant.) Given the 9 month pregnancy it will not be possible for me to become a father prior to the age of 33.

    Honestly its one of the wierder laws, you can as 16 go to a regular shop by beer/wine/alchohol and go drink it.
    but if its in a bar/club/whatever where its served directly to be drunk there, you have to be 18.
    I asume its one of the wierder attempts to keep young people getting mixed up with drunken strangers, without taking drinks away from them completely.

    and after posting this i remember its complete bullokcs, the reason its 16 in shops is because of two law changes some 5-6 years ago. before that their was no minor age for buying alchohol in a shop. even small children could buy it, now that gave a bad image and we had problems with children down to the age of 10 (in extreme cases) being drunk in weekends, so at first a law was passed that like the sexual maturity age, the age for buying alchohol was 15. that was after a year or two raised to 16, they tried to raise the sexual maturity age at the same time, but that didn't pass.
    thats the reason for the wierd ages.

    And I must be getting old, cause i was working in a shop when they passed does laws and had to start checking 15 year old kids for ID and i couldn't even remember that.
