Friday night you come home and have a few Gateway Beverages with friends. Or Saturday afternoon by the pool a group of friends can have Gateway Beverages together.

One of the worst junior high schools in America. It is located in Monroeville, Pennsylvania. It’s food is sourced straight from the undercooked food trash can. The homework is unimaginable for most students, especially Algebra I students.
Omg there pink in my buffalo chicken sandwich, and I had an hour of homework. Why is Gateway Middle School so awful.

Gateway Charter High School, aka, the worst high school on the universe. The girls are ALL fake. Students here are all wannabe ghetto, druggies, and eventually get sent to ALC at some point in their lives. Although they know how to party, they are dumb as hell. No one from this school ever amounts to anything special. The rules are ridiculous and rarely followed. Please, do not ever enroll yourself here. You will go crazy.

A emissions testing program in St. Louis that requires drivers to have clean and efficient running cars in order to have license plates.
Can be a hassle, espically with older vehicles, and can get costly if you don't pass it.

Gateway shopping is when you break down to buy "just one thing" after you told yourself you have to stop spending money. Much like breaking the seal when drinking, once you have purchased one item, you'll purchase five more items, spend money you don't have, probably will have buyer's remorse.
Me: I'm not going to spend any more money on leggings and purses. I have to buckle down and save money.
Also me: Ok I've got to go to the mall for just one thing - I need sandals and that's it. That's all I'm buying.
Also Me: Ok this purse looks really with the sandals, but I like that purse too - two purses won't be a big deal. It's just Coach...
My friend: It looks like those sandals sucked you into gateway shopping - you broke the seal!

A alcoholic beverage with a low alcohol content consumed innocently without the intent of getting buzzed or drunk. It ends up being the starting point before moving onto hard liquor and the inevitable hangover that will follow.
“Last night I was out for sushi and drank some sake. At some point I moved onto high end vodka and now it feels like a gang of honey badgers had an orgy in my skull before parking a van on it.”
Examples of Gateway Drunk beverages include, but are not limited to: Beer (non IPA), wine, sake, Mike’s Hard Lemonade (and similar products).
