When did you first drink alcohol?
 
When did you first drink alcohol?

Just a general question I've had for a while.

I'm sorry if I shouldn't have posted this here or at all.

For me it was probably some time in my teens [sorry i dont remember the exact age].

But only a tiny bit and supervised by my parents.And it was very very rare.

Is there a reason why you ask?

Is there something you wish to talk about?

Hope your ok.

Take care

First ever taste? I'm pretty sure I sipped my dad's larger as a todler... and I remember my mum giving me alcohol to help me sleep as a kid... :P

Proper drink? This year, 20. Whoop to starting uni.

She gave you alcohol to go to sleep? lol, something my mom would so do.

Had some when I was "12&u", but drinking properly began at about 13 I think.

edit; Hope this helps your situation love.

When I was little I would get one mouth full of whatever my parents were drinking if I wanted it and it smelled good and it wasn't too too strong. Grade seven we went to France and visited a few wineries and we'd get these tiny cups with probably 3 mouth full. First time I actually drank more and a few sips I was 19.

Is there a reason you are asking? Are you okay?

unfortunatly i grew up in belfast and most kids are out in the street drinkn from bout 11. final year of primary school. i followed the others in desperation to be accepted as most kids do and ended up letting it turn into an addiction

First tasted drink when I was probably when I was a kid, my Grandad used to get me to try stuff all the time.

Had my first proper drink when I was 14; that was the first time I got drunk and nearly went to hospital with alcohol poisoning.

My parents let me drink a little when I was young. So a sip of wine with a meal, then a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve etc. All very sensible really!
But the first time I got it myself and got blathered was aged 15 I think.

I remember taking sips of my mom's wine and my dad's gin when I was quite young, just to try it.

But the first time I properly drank alcohol was when I was 15 at a party, first time I got drunk too.

I would get a sip of my grandmas beer now and again when I was a kid, but I always thought it tasted awful. I had my first proper drink(s) and got really drunk when I was 13, looking back on it now I was probably way too immature to be drinking already :p

BridgesAndBalloons 03-04-2011 01:54 PM

I don't think my first experience with alcohol was average or normal, I was young, around 9 or 10.

I hope you're okay x

I would too have a sip of my mums wine or something on New Year's Eve. The first time i got hammered was when i was 16 at my mates 18 birthday, which was house partyy

Good for you. I probably should have added that as an option.

My parents have always let me have sips of wine or beer and small glasses of champagne for special occasions. I was about 11 when I was allowed to have the odd glass of wine or larger. First got drunk when I was 13 with my friends but even so it was fairly harmless, just had a bit too much Lambrini or something equally disgusting at a house party, my parents never minded as long as I just got tipsy and not like absolutely plastered.

My first drink was when i was a toddler my dad let me sip his whiskey, i had wine with sunday dinner from 4. I also tried to consume some of my mums drink when 5 as i wanted to stop her drinking too nasty resulted in draining it down sink.

But the first time i drank heavily was 13 and have had problems with it since.
