    My dad gave me sips of Budweiser when I was 5, because I begged to try it. I stopped asking after that. He thought that was funny. I was allowed a glass of champagne on Christmas Eve since I was like 8. (I was able to actually finish it by 13).

    a sip of beer around 12 or so. I thought it was really nasty so I stayed away from it until I was 21

    Yeah I was probably around 8 or so. An itty bitty glass of champagne at New Years every year. I'd take a sip, say "gross". Try another one.. and then someone else would finish it.

    After that I think I had one drink on my 18th birthday (Canada)... and then... again when I was 20 or 21? After that maybe 23? I have it a bit more regularly (as in a few times a year) now that I'm 27. I think I gave up the Champagne at New Years when I was around 20ish. I can't really pin point when.

    Even as an adult, alcohol is still one of the grossest things to me. Just. Yuck.

    Does the alcoholic version of Irn-bru count? If so, 12. Also, first time I vomited from alcohol consumption, 12.

    5 or 6 too! My dad sat me on his lap and gave me his beer, I was a little confused and he said "Drink it, it's good for your health!", my dad was German and mom Russian (she was an avid vodka drinker, can't remember how many times I drank water that was actually vodka!). Hate vodka, LOVE beer.

    Vodka is mommies "special water" in Russia.

    I was 7 and it was red wine... I remember thinking "like why?" and now for people who don't like wine I think "like why?" :D
