Like Fr_Chuck, I grew up in a German-American home where we drank wine on big occasions and at holiday dinners and beer with pretzels while playing pinochle. Alcohol was always used respectfully and in moderation. As little kids, we were allowed sips that we usually spit out. Bleck!

As an adult I enjoy an occasional can of beer with pizza or a Black Russian with cheese and crackers (always liquor with food!), but have never over-indulged. After two beers, I fall asleep.

Excon, pass some herb! I never tried that before. Is it good?

Wow, I was 13. all my siblings were older and they were doing it so i did too. Stupid but true. Stopped party drinking when I was around 21 and never have I had a whole beer. I hate it. Wine isn't good to me either. A good crown Royal shot or two can twist things up a bit every long once in a while. I like me with out the drinks. My mother was/is an alcoholic.

I was 14. On my first time drinking, hung out with some buds of mine. We raided the parent's of one of my bud's liquor cabinet. We went out and I ended up jumping off a short wall and breaking my leg! Getting drunk was a very stupid thing to do. Made a huge rumor and joke at the junior high school I attended at the time. I was very embarassed by what I had done.

Here in South Africa where I live people (Children) generally start drinking at a very early age, round about 14. On the one hand I think it is a good thing because then you learn how to handle alcohol and how to control yourself. I have seen people exposed to alchohol for the first time at the age of 21 or so and noticed that they cant control / handle it and get very drunk and irresponsible. Just my opinion...

im 15, almost 16, and i intend to drink very rarely, and only once im at the legal age. my parents have offered sips and stuff, so i can get used to what it tastes like nowadays, so when i turn 18 i dont go on a huge binge.
Alchohol only with food, never on its own, and never too much i reckon would be best.
too many people drink alchohol just to get drunk.

I was one day old! of course that was drinking mother's milk

Oh you meant alcoholic beverages? Why didn't you say so?

I guess I was 13 or 14 when I raided the liquor cabinetfor a few sips. Didn't like the taste and didn't drink again until I was legal.

I was 13 when I had beer for the first time. When I grew up I would always see the adults drink beer and I heard other children talk about it. I finally could drink that beer and I spit it out right away. I remember I thought: "Is this it?!?!".
In high school I had a lot of peer pressure and there were times I got drunk, but now I'm grown up enough to realize I don't like alcohol in general and I never will drink it again. And since I am a student, I will have to stand a lot of peer pressure.

I was 19 and a half when I first started drinking. I had finished my sophomore year of college. Pretty late.
