Some people might not remember. Some cultures promote drinking at a very early age, it has become much less common, but a hundred years ago it wouldn't be unusual to see a ten year old kid drinking wine or beer. I personally had my first drink when I was sixteen.
I was very young. My grandpa used to let me take sips of his beer and I thought it was gross. My mom would get mad but then grandpa told her that if I did not like it then, I would not be tempted to drink it later. I do not like beer to this day.
I think I was around 17-18 when I had my first drink and continued for about 2 years. I had a lot of bad experiences with it and acted as foolishly as I could have. I didn't know when to quit, but even if I didn't drink a lot, I still exercised bad judgment.
Hello everyone, hope all of you are doing well! I think I must have been around 10 years old the first time my dad let me taste his beer. I remember that the taste was so awful to me that I never again asked him to give me a sip of his beer. I am now 23 years old and I am proud to say that I drink alcoholic beverages approximately once every two months. I was educated not to depend on any substance, and I am glad it paid off.
I can't remember the exact age but I was a preteen the first time I had a drink of alcohol. After that I was about 15 when I started drinking with friends. We use to drink at parties and school dances. It was never really my thing though. I would watch my friends get wasted and I was usually the one taking care of them and making sure they got home safe.
I can still remember clearly the day I had my first drink of alcohol. I was around 16 years old that time, and my friends and I decided to hang out together and have a drinking session. I remember I was laughing the whole time I was drinking. I just really couldn't help it.
I think I did try beer at around 6 or 7 as there would be beers left over from the previous night and my mum would have to throw the beer away and put coca cola in it, and I would still know there is beer in the can which would be left over. In some countries there may not be a strict view on alcohol and some parents may not think there is anything wrong with letting a child consume it, and in the modern days there are more facts about it and also people know why alcohol is not good for a child then before. Alcohol for a child can have different effects and they can get drunk easier then a adult as they are still young and not fully developed like the adult people are in the world we live in, and it can be a good feeling to try alcohol out at a young age.
I had my first drink as a teen. And it was just before i joined high school. The legal drinking age here is 18 but i was barely 16. We were with my friends at a party and i guess i just succumbed to peer pressure. Nevertheless, i hardly drunk while in high school.
I was quite young when I had my first drink, even though it wasn't much. I was probably about 10 or 11 at the time but it was just a one off, although I did start drinking more regularly soon after when I was about 14 years old.
It surely did. Am also a moderate drinker preferring to save my hard earned money for my kids education. That is not to say that i don't socialize with my buddies, i do but it doesn't always involve alcohol. When my kids have come of age, i plan to sensitize them about the dangers of alcohol and why it should not be something that they should be keen on experimenting with.
I was about 11 when I had my first drink - it was a can of cider that I'd stolen from my older brother. I didn't make it a regular thing until I was about 14, when I started to drink most weekends.
If we're talking a sip, I would say maybe 8 or 9. My first proper 'binge drinking' session was when I was 15. It was a friends birthday party and we raided the liquor cabinet at her parents house.
I think I was about 14 or 15 the first time I got drunk. My dad used to have a kind of mini bar, and I used to fill a glass with a little bit of everything I could find. I remember not liking it at all. I remember throwing up and the terrible hangover. What I can't understand is why the hell did I keep on drinking after that terrible experience.
I'm not going to count the little sips I got from family members at VERY young ages because they thought it was funny or whatever. My first drink was when I was 12-13. My cousin was a couple of years older and hung out with guys even much older than her. We went to a party, and I was very antisocial, so they were handing drinks to me like crazy to get me to just open up and talk.
I first tasted beer when I was 18 years old. It was just a mug of beer full of ice that I did not finished because I did not like the taste of beer. It is still bitter no matter how many ice I put on it to at least make it taste just like water.
i I remember drinking sips out of a beer bottle as a very young child maybe 4 or 5. My first real experience with drinking was when I was about 10. My parents didn't drink, but they did have some alcohol around that had been given to them as gifts.
Having parents who were ex-smokers but keen social drinkers meant that I was allowed to drink a small amount of my Dads home-made (and extremely strong) beer from about 8 years old or so, I must stress, it was a very small and arguably, sensible amount, but I was exposed to alcohol from a very young age. All my other siblings were the same, and none of them have ever had drinking problems, I was the only one, and I didn't develop a drinking problem until my 30's. I can't say whether being exposed to drinking from such a young age made any difference to the problem I eventually developed, but I know for a fact that the incredibly stressful life I had for a while was what made my drinking go from moderate to ridiculously heavy in under a year.
Well, I think I was 14 or 15 when I had my first "real" drink. I drank beer earlier than that but I first went to a club and drank regular alcohol at that age. It was an impulse decision since I was with a couple of my childhood friends, but I don't really regret it.
I can't remember so well, but I think I had my first sip of beer ever when I was 6, my mom used to still drink a lot back then. She used to sit me on her lap, added some lemon and salt and I could drink that, sometimes some beer would also get in the way. That is not how I started drinking though - I never liked beer. I started drinking lots of eggnog when I was 8, my mom bought me that often when she saw I liked it.
Oh man, maybe 11 or 12? me and my friends would go around the liquor cabinets in each of our houses and pour a little bit from each bottle into a plastic container. Then we'd all get together and drink the horrible concoction together and get drunk and stumble down the street like fools.
