    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

    I'm 24 and not yet. I've seen what alcohol can do and I don't like the smell of it so I stay away from it, haha!

    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?

    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).

    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.
