I’m 20, my GF is 20, we’re 8 years in( some say 12yo can't date lol). We both live in Southern California, almost on the beach. We both did well in high school. I don’t know what I want to do so I’m at the community college to get general education stuff out of the way, then I’ll weigh my options. She is going to CSU-Long Beach, about 30 min. away, she lives at home as do I. We have very different work ethics. She gets it done right away( the day its assigned is the day she does it). I do my work a day or two before its due. I’m young and I like to have a good time( I drink, no smoking no drugs). She doesn’t drink at all( personal choice) and hates it when I do. Yesterday, I was laying in my hammock in the backyard and she came out.
Me: Hola
Her: Hey sweetie. Can we go to that new place out by the movie theater?
Me: right now?( I’m shirtless with a swimsuit on. In my hand is a glass of rum and coke. 20 is close enough to 21 in my book( and my parents’ book). Within arms reach is more rum and a 12 pack of coke.)
Her: Yeah, c’mon
Me: But I just poured this and I just put on sunscreen. How bout tonight? As for now, kick back with me, grab a bikini or whatever and join the R&R club.
Her: Ugh !!!
Me: Problem?
Her: Yeah, you, you’re so useless. Fine stay out here all day getting drunk as . Call me when you sober up.
Me: Yes ma’am.

I ended up taking her out to dinner at the place. Her first comment when I picked her up was “ well well Lt. Rum N’ Coke sobered up . It’s a miracle”. She seemed annoyed all night. Should I apologize or will she get over it? I wasn't even drunk though, I had 2 drinks. She does this with everything, fights me about schoolwork, how my bedroom looks, etc.

Drinking rum in the middle of the day by yourself? Awesome.

19 and drinking mid day... either you are a troll or a loser.
Your girlfriend would be better off without you.

The OP reads more like a fanfic actually. A twilight saga wanna be author? LOL. I won't be surprised if the OP makes a thread in the future how he met all his gfs in AA meetings.

You think you are getting gen ed stuff out of the way but in reality you aren't. Any University will tell you that it will transfer and it does transfer, it just does not count toward your degree so you will more than likely be taking the same classes a second time.

Legally 20 is NOT close enough to 21 and your parents are not smart in allowing you to drink at home because they would be held legally responsible for your actions if/when you leave and get into an accident.

You can't date at 12 and it is obvious to everyone but you that this girlfriend of yours is too different from you and long term it will more than likely end badly.
If she was smart she would cut you loose since you think it is just great to sit around all afternoon and drink, put off work for school until the last minute and I'm guessing since she fusses about your room that you don't keep your room tidy.
