My dad bought me a beer in the pool hall/cafe when I was about 12 years old. Kind of surprised me at the time, mom was out and we stopped by there to get something to eat on the way home from haying. Pretty much said that I worked like a man that day and I should get a man's refreshment. Wonder if I'll do the same when my son's ready.

First alcoholic drink was strawberry wine, out of my dad's fridge. Only a capful, but at least I got the taste. Then when I was 15 my stepbrother (21) and I threw us a party, and there were about 15 people there (mostly girls), and we had Smifnoff, Skyy Blue, Bacardi (Silver, O3, and vodka), Baileys with butter shots, and a few types of beers. Got drunk that time and then we started throwing parties all the time. Didn't have anything tilll football season this year. Now I'm 18 and haven't had a drink since.. October something - afterparty for football.

like everyone else, some of dad's beer when i was around 5 or 6. Then a few years later I picked up my uncle's beer by accident thinking it was a soda, and promptly spit it out, haha, everyone had a laugh at that.
As for actually drinking for real, at 17. I pretty much stopped drinking at around 21 and have only had a few beers here and there at the bar with some buddies since.

Yup, some of my fathers MGD when I was 5 or 6. Both of my parents would relax out on our back porch, and just enjoy the night air with a few beers. My parents were very open when it came to drinking. I was able to drink at home from 18 on. Their logic holds that if I am man enough to die for my country, I am man enough to drink. It is a shame that their current house does not have a similar porch. Maybe that can be remedied over this coming spring and summer.

18, first off week of football at VT...Jack Daniels at room temperature, straight out of the bottle.
Have branched out into Southern Comfort 100, Jimmy Beam when I'm poor, and on a Scotch kick right now.
As it has been said: "There's a time and a place for everything, and it's called college."

I think when my sister and I were 5, we had the foam off our parents beer. One of my moms friends was outraged, mom laughed.
I never get drunk.
I never had a drink again until I turned 21. And if you believe that...
Drink safe y'all.

For my first actual consumption, it would have been 6th or 7th grade. A friend put a spoon full of blackberry brandy in some 7-Up. Tasted good but no effect.
But here's a good story. I'm 16 at work in the local steak house. They kept the liquor in the basement, in a closet secured only by sliding doors. I notice one end moves alot. I was small for my age so it wasn't hard to squeeze in.
Now, you gotta keep in mind I was a PK who didn't know squat about the real world.
I'd seen TV shows and movies where some character up ends a bottle of whisky and downs a good slug or two then goes "ahhhhh". I'm thinking this is pop for grown ups. And here i go, gonna have me some grown up pop.
Grabbed what turned out to be a bottle of Scotch, up ended it just like in the movies and took a hard pull. My Gawd that stuff burned. I shuddered till i thought i was gonna throw up.
I still don't like Scotch.

16 years old, had some wine coolers we got somebody to buy for me and a few friends. Drank them at a rural secluded boat landing down the road from my house. Got buzzed and drove us back home. Drank alot of cheap whiskey like Lord Calvert, during high school, ahhh that stuff is nasty. I can't walk by it in the liquor store without getting the shakes. Now I'm a vodka guy, I prefer Absolut blue label or Citron, am trying some Skyy as I type this, it's ok, Grey Goose is good too, but expensive.
