Welcome Colgate University Students!

We talked about life. I asked "At what age did you start to go to sleep over parties?"

He answered one year. I was very suprised to hear that. Maybye when I was nine year, I grow away from my parents.
I thought American people are independent of their parents from early time.

Next, I asked "What age can you drink alcohol in New York State?"

He answered 21 year. But age is vary from state to state. I thought American young people can drink from 18 year. I interested in regulation is different from state to state in America.
