How old were you the first time you tried alcohol?

Question

Just curious

Kaneki05 · Accepted Answer

Probably 6. Wouldn't really call it bad tho, just a sip of my dads WKD. Which tasted great. Then 11 i probably drank some whiskey by mistake and right away thought nope to alcohol cause that was nasty.

Now i drink only when with a mate really and it's only ever Vodka or some cocktail or some other mixed stuff that's fun. Don't like any of the whiskey, rum, or beer or anything that's brown or black really. More darker the alcohol is probably a great indicator ain't for me since they all seems to be bad.

I was a tot with a stomach ache. Crème de menthe. It worked and I remembered. “Out of the mouth of babes..” Next time I had a stomach ache my mother had company.. I asked for ‘some of the stuff in the pretty green bottle’. Needless to say she was embarrassed.

I was around 8 or 9. An adult actually gave me some. She was actually a teacher, believe it or not (not my teacher and this didn't happen in school, but she was someone my family knew). My family was definitely upset when they found out!

misterCage4 · Answer

Maybe when I was around 9 or something. We would occasionally throw parties at our house (in summer) and invite a lot of people over. Everyone would be distracted or chatting with each other and I would just reach out to pour a couple of small gulps worth of wine/champagne in to my cup. I don't know why but I guess I was just curious. I didn't even try to hide but I don't really know if my mom knew what I did. I kept doing that everytime we threw parties until I was around 12. Now I don't drink at all lol.

OfDeath · Answer

It's a funny story. I asked my dad if I could have some of his whiskey. He said "sure" and poured me a glass and didn't tell me not to try to drink it like water. After that, I didn't want it anymore lol.

Apparently my grandfather took a similar approach with him when he asked if he could try cigarettes.

My family have a dark sense of humour.

_Clara_ · Answer

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

12. Merlot from a Portuguese family friend at Thanksgiving. I hated it. The second sip though? I haven't been able to recapture that nice taste since.

JustinTheGreat · Answer

I’ve always tried sips of drinks here and there as a kid.
My family start letting me have glasses of wine at the table at 14.
But I didn’t really have my first real drinking experience where I was drunk until I was like 15 or 16.

TrueConfection · Answer

Other than a sip of wine on holidays... I was 13. My older sibling's friends gave me beer and although I had less than a can, I was drunk. It's still embarrassing to remember.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't advise anyone to mess with alcohol at any age. Every single time someone takes a drink they are running the risk of not being able to put it down and it slips up quietly before they know it. Alcohol is not easy to quit either, it can be very dangerous just trying to quit it. I knew of one lady she become addicted to alcohol the first drink she took and never put it down.

Roxxy99 · Answer

Probably 11 or 12. My mom let me have a small sip of her wine after I begged her to try it. I thought it was horrible and she said “told you”.
