What’s the biggest differences between bar and club?

（在美国）酒吧夜店的区别是什么？

A bar is a place where friends can get together and tell stories and jokes while having a few drinks. Maybe watch a game or talk to the bartender about your problems.

在酒吧，朋友们可以在一起小聚，讲讲故事，开开笑话，喝点小酒。也可以看看比赛和酒保谈谈心。

A club is a place with douchy dudes trying to get laid and annoyingly loud music.

而夜店里充斥着寻找着慰借的人们，还有恼人的音乐。

Drive after drinking is illegal in china, even you’re not drunk. Then is it OK for American to drive after drinking?

在中国，酒后驾驶是违法的，有时尽管你还没喝醉。在国美，酒驾违法吗？

Hell no it’s not ok!!! If you’re drinking and driving, you’re retarded. Especially in a place like a big city where there are so many taxis!

当然不可以，喝了酒之后开车你就会变的迟钝起来。特别那些有很多出租车的大城市。（很！危！险！）

National Minimum Drinking Age is 21 in USA, why 21, rather than 18? since we consider 18 is the mark of adult？

在美国，法定准许饮酒的年龄是21岁，为什么不是18岁？我们都认为18岁已经是大人了。

It’s a stupid law. 18 year olds can smoke and get cancer. Take out loans and drown themselves in debt, or join the military and DIE FOR THIER COUNTRY! But they can’t buy a beer.

这正是法律的愚蠢指出，18岁的人能够由吸烟而导致肺癌。能够贷款，也能背负巨额债务，或者成为军人，为国家而死。为什么他们不能买一杯啤酒。
