How old were you when you first drank alcohol?

I was 5 or 6, I recall my dad letting me have sips of his whiskey/wine/beer.

    I'm sure I had my first sip around 6-8. I started drinking my sophomore year of high school I think.

    22. I grew up in a family that shunned alcohol, so it took a while for me to feel comfortable enough to drink. I actually felt guilty for a while because I was having to hide it behind my parents' backs. But I'm over it now.

    18 bartles and james berry wine coolers my best buddy and his sister convinced me it was fizzy kool aid as their family was very baptist I believed them. His mom nearly killed him when she came in to us all passed out in her living room. LOL She still tells the story too. :D

    I remember my parents letting me have a sip of wine when I was very young. I can't remember specific age, but it gave me an aversion to the stuff for life. :s

    I've never been a big drinker. I don't even think I've ever gotten drunk, lol.

    To catch a buzz? Probably 14 or 15.

    I'm sure I had sips as a child.

    I grew up in a pub and my dummy would be dipped in rum to help me sleep and teeth so somewhere between 0 and 1 for me :smiley:
    I liked a nip of cider or wine with dinner growing up but I've never been a big drinker and never drink without a meal or socially...

    My dad would give me sips of red wine when I was 8-9. When I was 14 I was at a family party and the adults were in the back yard drinking whisky and beer. After they went inside to eat, my cousin and I went out and had some before they came back. We had no idea about portions and thought you just drink a glass of whisky like you would any other soda/juice.

    We went on to nap shortly after.

    Discovered beer at 11. My dad bought the shittiest stuff a available for cooking beer dogs. It wasnt drinkable, so i didnt enjoy beer until much later in life when I visited Germany, and tasted real beer (24 yrs old).

    However I discovered liquor at 16 at a friends house. We went through his dads liquor cabinet until we passed out. Musta had 10 shots and 10 mixed drinks. I wasnt used to effect of liqjor so i just kept slamming them down thinkn it would come on gradually. It hit me like a brick wall all at once. I puked so much, I woje up sitting straight up in a chair with a bloody nose. Better yet, my driving test to get my license was that morning. I had to ride in the car with a hangover. Driving seemed to sober me up, but as soon as i went to the backseat for others to drive, up came the vomit

    Had a sip of beer at my cousins wedding at 16. Again half a beer at my sisters wedding at 19. Five months before my 21st bday I got into clubs with my real ID(lol) and started drinking.

    I shouldn't incriminate my parents this way. On the plus side, though I'd tasted alcohol well before I was into double digits, I've only had too much to drink once, and learned my lesson.

    I was 8 and we could have 1/2 glass of red wine with dinner on the weekends.

    Your parents allowed it? Isn't that illegal?

    I've had nearly too much to drink several times, and then one night I had way too much and it was gross. There was vomiting and dry heaving for hours but that wasn't the only thing. Now, just the smell of alcohol churns my stomach.

    Probably illegal yep. Still learning to drink responsibly from a young age under adult supervision is important, otherwise what happens when the child comes across a bottle of whiskey when they are alone?
