Do you remember your first legal drink?

People talking about getting Long Island Ice Teas for their 21st birthday on the Long Island Ice Tea thread got me thinking:

Do you remember your first legal drink?

My 21st birthday was on a Sunday and the liquor stores were closed. At midnight on Saturday night I went to this basement bar where they checked ids at the door.

The doorman said happy birthday.

I got one pint of Welsh Ale and then went home. I made a point of not wanting to overdo it on my 21st Birthday. Next weekend things went a little differently.

The Hasdim on Sopranos are unrealistic

Shlomo and is son in law are supposed to be from the same Hasidic group but their clothes are totally different. Ariel is wearing the kind of flat hat that is more common among Hungarian Hasidim who tend to me much more insular but his suit is a more standard cut suit found among mainstream non Hasidic Orthodox. While Shlomo is wearing while wearing the waist length jackets of Hasidim is wearing a totally different hat called a Hamburg more common among Polish Hasidim and sometimes worn by non Hasidic Rosh Yeshivas or major non Hasidic Rabbis.
Plus their accents are totally off and not the way most NY Hasisim sound

Also, Ariel is more of a name you find among secular or slighly religious Israelis not Hasidim.
