It's the day you've been waiting for ever since your mom let you try a sip of her wine, and you gagged, promising yourself you would never take a sip of alcohol again. It's now time to graduate from the Pinnacle and Orloff that your late high school and early college self have been sipping on. Here's to the newbies! Welcome to the other side.


1. Scorpion Bowl

Not only is this the perfect excuse to order hibachi, but you and your friends can all share this delicious fruity drink made with rum, vodka, gin and grenadine. It's a must on every 21-year-old's drink-it list.

2. Fish Bowl

Following the bowl theme, fish bowls are the perfect drink to effectively get you drunk while masking the taste of alcohol at the same time. Almost everyone likes drinking fish bowls because of their yummy, fruity taste.

3. Vodka Cranberry

Not sure what to order for your first drink at the club? This is always a safe bet and is usually on the cheaper side, depending on what club you're at! It's a classic.

4. Margarita

If you're anything like me, your first shot of tequila in your friend's dorm room was enough to scar you for life. Don't fear! Margaritas will become your best friend once you turn 21. With many different flavors and the options of on the rocks or frozen, you're bound to find one that you love.

5. Rum and Coke

Not into the fruity drinks? This is the perfect classic drink to order whether you're at the bar or at a club.

6. Rum Bucket

The perfect drink to make you feel like you're on a tropical island. Big enough to share or be bold and finish it yourself.

7. Long Island Iced Tea

If your goal is to get drunk, this is the drink for you. Depending on where you order, this drink seems to be the strongest. It's made with tequila, gin, vodka, rum, triple sec and a splash of coke to give it the iced tea look. Be adventurous and try this!

8. Draft or Local Beer

Most restaurants have a wide selection of draft and local beers on tap! Ask the bartender what he or she recommends and make sure to stick with a lighter beer for your first try.

9. Guinness

If you have the pleasure of turning 21 before St. Paddy's Day, it's almost a given that you have to try a Guinness. The bartender may even add a fancy four leaf clover in the foam!

10. Jägerbomb

There are several different ways to come at this drink. You can either put a shot of Jäger in a glass of Red Bull or in a glass of beer. Either way, you have to be prepared to slug it down quickly!

11. Blowjob

Yes, I said the name of this shot correctly. In order to take it you must put your hands behind your back and only use your mouth to take the shot. Often, it is a shot of Bailey's and Kahlúa topped with whipped cream.

12. Sex on the Beach

The ultimate basic girl drink, this fruity vodka concoction tastes so good, and it's fun to say the name.

13. Jameson and Ginger Ale

Order this to show up all of the guys sitting at the bar. Jameson is a top shelf Irish Whiskey that goes down smoothly.

14. Fireball Shot

Relive your early college years and celebrate with a Fireball shot.

15. Martini

Order this if you want a classy drink. There are plenty of flavors (my favorite being Apple), and who doesn't feel cool holding a martini glass?

16. White Sangria

It's the perfect summery drink to have while on the beach or at home with your friends.

17. Mimosa

Perfect for your lazy Sunday brunch!

18. Vodka Red Bull

Long day of studying and attending classes? Don't fear! This drink will give you the energy you need to fist pump and mingle at the club.

19. Screwdriver

Name sound intense? Don't worry, it's just orange juice spiked with vodka.

20. Mojito

Refreshing and won't make your breath smell bad when you're trying to hit on somebody at the bar.

21. Tequila Sunrise

Margaritas not your thing? Try this tequila drink mixed with orange juice and grenadine!

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
