Spin off of the 21st birthday thread.
I had half a wine cooler when I was 14 for the first time and thought I was drunk. Haha

Oh man, I don't remember. I had sips of lots of stuff growing up, but I probably had my first full drink at around 14?

Besides sips of my dads beer when I was young (put me off Budweiser for life!), 19 before I studied abroad in Italy. My BFF wanted me to drink with her before I went (since there's no age limit there) so we split a bottle of wine and got fun tipsy/drunk. Ha.

Not really ever. I hate the taste. I have had sips here and there, and I had one shot when I was 20.

Besides little glasses of wine from my parents... I think 7th or 8th grade? The dangers of a 4 1/2 year older sister that was constantly up to no good and me desperate to be her friend and my parents traveling often and trusting her with me. I also started smoking around then.

I was 16... And I was one of the better kids at my high school ! I'm hoping my lo doesn't drink until she's a bit older than that... It all makes me quite nervous actually.

Beer when I was 9. My grandpa's doing. After that it was vodka when I was 14.

My parents took the family to an all-inclusive Cancun resort the summer after I graduated high school. They don't drink and I guess it never occurred to them what I and my 21-year-old sister would do there (drinking age in Mexico is 18). I didn't have enough to get drunk, which I think had a lot to do with the bartenders taking one look at me and realizing the tiny teenage white girl should not be served full pours. Still fairly hilarious when my parents realized we were drinking though. We didn't hide, they just weren't paying attention!

My parents always let us have a few sips here and there. My mom's wine or margarita, dad's beer, as long as I could remember (certainly under 10). By the time I was maybe 12 or 13 my parents let me have wine (mixed half and half with sprite lol) with dinner. The first time I snuck a drink without parental supervision was at 16, just a few sips of beer. The first time I had a whole drink (and also got drunk that same night) was 17 (senior year of hs). I never was and still am not a big drinker.

Pretty young, early teens. It wasn't a big deal in my family to have a little wine with dinner. The first time I got drunk, was in college.

I was like 6 months from turning 21 the first time I ever really drank, and got drunk. That night actually started DH's and I's relationship, lol.

It was the night of my senior prom, so I was 17. I had a glass of champagne in the limo. My mom would have flipped if she knew.

I was 17 and trying to fit in with my friends. I didn't really drink drink until I was 18 and a freshman in college.

My dad always let me have sips of whatever growing up; since I'd only take a drop and then say "eww gross" anyway haha.
I think I had winecoolers at some point in HS...
