What was it like the first time you tried alcohol?

[~*Emma*~]

I tried alcohol for the first time tonight. Well, actually I just had a sip of my dads wine. But I thought it was DISGUSTING! What did everybody else think the first time they tried alcohol?

[Belair]

I've never understood the big deal with alcohol.I started drinking when I was 16.It began with red wine at home,or whatever my parents were drinking,and then I started drinking spirits,which are still my alcohol choice when I drink now.I've never been drunk though,because I know my limit and I dont over do it ever.Most of the time I'd rather drink a coke! Alot of alcohol is acquired tastes,some people like it,some people dont.I dont like the taste of beer.

My parents let me have a tiny sip of their wine when I was younger. I'm not allowed anymore.

My parents were gonna let me to take a tiny sip, and I got close and smelled it and just couldn't drink it.

Sips of my family's beer. Nasty, nasty, nasty. I don't know how people can drink beer. It tastes like ass.

I am sure I had plenty of sips of beer when I was a kid, and champainge on new years, but the first time I drank without of my parents knowledge was freshman year with some kids from my hockey team and at this time, none of my friends drank. Then sophomore year, my varisty hockey team won the state title, so we got absolutley wreaked (oh and we had school the next day and we didnt stop drinking until like 3 am...that worked out well) Jr year, I was in this group of friends, who didnt really drink and we would just chill, and that was fine, until after our jr prom, we got smashed and my friend knocked over a grandfather clock...good thing someone sober was there to catch it. But this year, we drink a lot but we are responsible about it. We have designated drivers, and people take other peoples phones so that they cant drunk dial anyone, and when you are starting to get ******** people will make sure that you stop drinking, so we've had no real problems. I also drank a few times with my hockey team this season and it was a bonding experience but during all these times Ive drank, sure people get drunk but nothing has been broken or anything major cept one friend got in trouble for a party but when used in moderation, I think alcohal is fine, just take a look in my cloest draw, but like someone else said, you have to know your limit, like for me even though I drink i have a low tolerance, but I dont throw up, I just get drunk off of 4 shots (thats after eating at cheesecake factory) but like 2 normally. Sorry for writing a book, but I find the subject of and debate about alcohal fascinating, and not because I am an alcohalic or binge drinker, I just enjoy learning about it, and peoples presepctives and the actual truthes

I had never drank any alcohol in my life. I think when I was younger, I smelled my mom's beer. It was probably Coors Light or something. But it smelled disgusting and I told myself that I would never drink that. I still don't know if it would be ok to drink wine just on special occasions, espiscally the wine I got when I was born.

I've had lots of small sips of random types of alcohol growing up. It all tastes the same to me. My dad, mom, and sister all drink, though. I wish my dad didn't drink so much because his father died of alcoholism, and his sister is an alcoholic. So it runs in the family.

[-*Forever*-]

Oh man, I have the best story ever. I don't think this was my first time - I think I had tried wine before and hated it - but Jacki and I were spending a weekend with her aunts. They rented these trailers over the summer, so they were sitting out on the porch and drinking beer. For some reason, we asked if we could try it, so they gave us this tiny bit in cups. So we're sitting at the table and we drank it and we like... spit it out cos it was so gross. So Jacki's like, "Let me put coke in mine! Maybe it'll taste better!!" So she pours like half a can of Coke in and then drinks it and she spits it all over and she's like, "GOD, that was even WORSE" so her aunts come in and we're like, "Heh... uhh... good times!!" and we went into the bedroom and listened to music

Yeah me too. My dad was an alcoholic and I suspect both my brother's of having drinking problems (at least). I also have an addictive personality, but luckily (? - if you can say that) - I'm just hooked on cigarettes. I basically STOPPED drinking much by age 18 (yes - I know, still underage at that point).

I think I was around 5 when my father gave me the first sip of rum and coke. By age 14, I was sneaking sips from my dad's liquor cabinet in the morning before going to school!! (NOT good)! I heard on the news around that time that alcoholism can be passed on, so it scared me enough to really watch it.

Now, if I have one or two drinks I just get sleepy so I don't even bother.

uhhhhhhhhhhh in eighth grade i was in this field with someone people at school and there was a beer bottle lying around with some beer still in it and they dared me to drink it and i did. didn't taste like anything, though.

beer smells like ****, and i know it would me WAY too strong for me to stand it for a second.

I have never and I will never drink alcohol so I do not know in the slightest.

[Georgia's on my Mind]

i hate beer and wine, vodka is tolerable, i prefer mixed drinks and wine coolers.

[TJL]

I was probably around 17 or 18, I was at a graduation party for a friend of my brother's. The alcohol was flowing pretty freely. I was drinking mixed drinks, like white russians, etc. I got drunk that night, but it wasn't messy, let's just say...
