Did you drink alcohol as a teen?

[Anonymous]

I started at 15. I was bad as hell 😂

Yup, I did.

Nope, never.

Maybe once or twice.

[Adventurer23]

I did, but always at home and with parental supervision. There were times where there was wine served with meals (not too often), or there was beer or liquor served for family parties and get togethers (again, not too often), and it was just never an issue. This may seem very shocking to some people, but even as a kid my mom would let me and my brother have a sip of beer or wine every once in awhile, and my first sip of beer was when I was 5! lol The funny thing is that I never drank alcohol outside of being at home or any other kind of parental supervision. I never had any friends that drank much, and even during parties with friends where alcohol was readily available I just wasn't really interested in it. Dunno why, but I just never got into social drinking. I've never been drunk either, and I've never seen the point of it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

A little bit when I was 15. When I was 16, I started college in Atlanta and there was one bar I could go to and NEVER be carded, even though I was obviously a kid; the owner was a Dekalb County Commissioner. I drank too much when I drank, but never on a daily basis, and by the time I was 20, my drinking was veryu moderate.

if by teen you mean 17 & under i didn't really drink. like i've tried getting drunk a couple times back then but like 5 times or so, and i did sometimes have my parents give me a little bit of wine, liquor or champagne with for parties/celebrations or sometimes with a meal but that's about it

if you mean 18-19 (cos you might be American) then yeaa. i drank soooo sooo much at 18-19. at some point i'd get drunk almost everyday of the week and even multiple times a day sometimes

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I made wine since I was 12.

We were not allowed to drink more than a glass and only on very special occasions,

but I can tell of few times my cousins and I stole a bottle from grandpa’s winery and got drunk.

[Lliam]

Yes, at parties, probably as young as 15. It was either beer or God awful stuff like Spanada, Boons Farm, and other cheep, fortified wines. I remember drinking straight vodka on a few dreadful occasions.
As a teen, I thought the purpose of drinking was to get drunk. I had no idea that alcoholic beverages could be enjoyed for the pleasure of their. LOL

I did learn about cocktails in my late teens. I didn't learn about good wine until many years later.

no i was never drunk in high school , i didn't even like go to any parties back then until i went to college , my town was really boring and like only popular incrowd people that age would of even had parties and i would never of been invited by them so never drank anything during high school

[DryGermanGuy]

I tried it (beer and wine) and wasn't impressed with the taste. I stuck to Coke and Fanta, especially after seeing people at parties dozed off in their own puke.

Yup, my mom let us all drink at home. She said she knows we’re going to do it. So she’d rather we do it safely. As a result it lost its mystery and none of us made poor decisions like drinking and driving

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, and I still haven't. Alcohol is for idiots.

[Asker]

It's fun.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Being dumber and having poor hand eye coordination and dulled senses is not fun, its horrible.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I went overboard so many times when I was drinking in my teens.

[Nikki1989]

I first stared experimenting with drugs and booze when I was 12.

[BourbonAndBacon]

I never got carded once in high school. I got carded for the first time when I was in my late 40s.

[exitseven]

It was the summer before I went into 9th grade. It was what everybody did. I never used drugs though.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah at 15 for a short time, wasn’t really fun after awhile, I hardly ever drink now, I wish I didn’t then, I feel like it did something to my thought processes

[ARWINGx1]

I did try beer once. Couldn't bring myself to swallowing it, even. XD

[TheUniqueOne96]

Nope, never drank ever.

[Simslover92]

Yeah. Started drinking at 18 in college.

[Luckycharms12]

Started drinking at 12

[Asker]

I hear that's common for the Irish and also Germans.

[Luckycharms12]

Irish it's even a bit young for us. Normally family lets you have a few around 14 at parties and family gatherings because you know you are already drinking

[zagor]

Yes, but not much compared to my peers.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah and I didn’t get it. Same with cigarettes.

[BLP11520]

First beer at 12

[lightbulb27]

blech! no.

[Anonymous]

Yup, I had my first beer at age 17.

[dudeinohio]

Absolutely did!
