about 11 or 12, i got drunk for the first time at 13, went off alcohol for a while after that, until i was at uni, i drank alot at uni, lol!

18 currently, and I don't drink alcohol, nor do I plan on ever doing so.

My father forced me to have a drink when I turned 21.

(I don't drink; I have other vices.)

Before I was one. I was born premature and wouldn't drink the bottle I was supposed to, so my dad started putting alcohol in it so I would get addicted to it.

DON'T DO THAT AT HOME, PLEASE!

Then, when I was 18 a "friend" brought a bottle up to my college dorm room and got me trashed.

Then, I was a binge drinker for a number of years in my twenties and was arrested a few times for DUI and PI or AI. I have been living in a dry community the last few years, so I've been away from that influence.

In 2007, I had a little money and went out to some clubs, but the last time I had any alcohol was August 2007.

My mum started giving me black currant wine with the dinner on weekends when I was around 11/12. She's a bit of a black currant fan and makes he own wine from it.

I didn't really drink apart from that until the first two years of college, then I stopped again and now I pretty much only drink when I eat out or when I visit the parents.

I don't know, I'll tell you when I do.

I drink on occasion but I don't get drunk.

Well i rember when i had my first beer, i was 10 and my dad gave it to me. but i started drinking spirits around 15. im not a big drinker though.

Well id had drinks since an early age but really got down to it at 16

My best mates dad got me drunk at the age of 14. I didn't get drunk again until the age of 17.

But most of my life my parents have been happy to let me try a bit of whisky, beer or wine.

13 when got a first few beers in me (tried it before), got really wasted first time just before 14. And i drink pretty regularly since, but i dont get as wasted as i used when i was a kid, im more responsible now with it.

Booze just makes teenage years more awesome
