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
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.
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
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

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
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.
