Hellobee Boards

I was 19. My Freshman year at college I went home with a friend for Thanksgiving, and had a wine cooler with Thanksgiving dinner. And then I got kind of tipsy, started talking really loudly, and turned bright red from embarrassment that everyone could tell I was tipsy.

15 - went to junior prom as a freshman and drank a beer and Zima (remember those?! ) at the after party, and my mom totally caught me and I was grounded for a long time.

I was 14 and we broke into my friend's mom's Southern Comfort we found in a cabinet while she was at work as a nurse one night and we were by ourselves. It was DISGUSTING!

Then I discovered daiquiris by the time I was 16 or so...In Louisiana, there are daiquiri places that only make all different types of daiquiris. You can even buy gallons of them. Most of them are pretty strong and have names like "190 Octane." Meanwhile, they taste fruity and delicious. The drinking age was 18, so we were always able to find someone to buy us daiquiri gallons!

I miss living in La. and getting Cajun Eggnog Daiquiris during the holidays! That's the best thing you'll ever have in your life!!!

young... my parents always let me sip their wine!!

But do you mean really drink... without my parents?? I was 19

I was 18. I had my first wine cooler at prom!

1. And I snuck it, too!

I was 13 or 14. I was a little rebellious.

@PrincessBaby: Eggnog daquiri! Yumm!

Unfortunately I was about 5 or 6. When my grandmother used to babysit us she would give us a small can of Budweiser with our dinner. It was our "special juice"!

@PrincessBaby: I went to college in NOLA and never had a Cajun Eggnog Daquiri...that sounds delicious!

I was a freshman in high school the first time I tried alcohol....so, 15ish?

@luckypenny: same. I was at a friends house and her older sister was having a party. We split 3 coolers over the course of a night.

@lawbee11: OMG, they are to DIE for. I always got them from the New Orleans Original Daiquiris/Fat Tuesday places. I am trying to figure out if my sister can get some here to me in South Florida when she comes after H is born! Like check an ice chest or something with a couple of gallons in it! It used to be like our tradition to get Cajun Eggnog daiquiris and then go do our Christmas shopping in Metairie at the mall:)

@mrsjazz: Whoa! Hahaha. Was that to get you to go to sleep? And did you like it? I remember accidentally having a sip of my mom's beer when I was about 6 and I was disgusted.

20! Didn't like it :T

@mrsjazz: Oh my God, I would love to hear how the conversation between your mom and grandmother went down!

Probably about 15 or 16? I think it was probably a wine cooler or Mike's Hard Lemonade

Other than sips with my parents? 15. My babysitter (parents were out of town) snuck me into a bar. So, yeah.

@PrincessBaby: the drive through daiquiri shops is one of my favorite Colbert Reports.... "Almost a good idea"

I've always gotten sips of beer and wine from family growing up, it was never a big deal. I liked my grandparents' Old Milwaukee so much I would steal the cans and hide under to table with them!

My parents would let me try sips of their beer or wine.

However, on my own and in excess, I was 14 at my friends house, her mom bought us all coolers to drink all night.

I remember asking my parents to try their wine or beer when I was 8. I thought it was gross.

When I was 14, a friend and I snuck some vodka to a church retreat. So baaaad. We didn't get drunk, only a few sips then started gagging. Her parents (who were cops) caught us. At 15, I went to my first party and got drunk. I was obviously a terrible teenager.
