My mom use to shove it in my face and I would decline.

bout 14

I was 12. We used to go roller skating every Friday night and my friends would boil out their hairspray bottles and put Capt. Morgan in it instead. I would take a few swigs, but then put some down the toilet to make it seem like I drank more. I hated the taste of it and I was scared to get drunk and caught! Peer pressure!!!

When I used to get pissed on Gripe Water (back in the day when it had a kick!).

I don't drink!

I just figure if I keep saying that (referring to the alcholed version only) It will come to pass in short order. I suspect it is time for a new Muse. Still fun and well traveled.... Just less intoxicated. Not that I often am... its just a nunance about me that needs to be vanquished in the long run.....

I drank it whenever opportunity presented itself as a kid.

My boss was in his 30's and thought he was a hip teenager, so afterwork I'd invite some girls I knew over to the restaurant I worked at, and we'd drink some liquor from time to time with the boss.


But I started regularly drinking when I was 20 in Germany (the drinking age is 18 I think--at least on military bases it was 18).

I stopped regularly drinking around 28. And now rarely drink. Not becuase I'm fighting alchoholism or anything, but I hate waking up groggy.

Ive never looked back since my first cider gold cup lolly from the ice cream man. Having said that, the 1st time I got wasted was on holiday in France. The english and dutch kids used to go to this beach and drink whilst singing Green Day songs round a camp fire. I went back to my folks tent and puked all over the canvis. I left them to mop it up.

Same here. I can't even remember when I first tasted alcohol, because I was so young at the time.

I did go from bar to bar on my 21st birthday, though, and the next day I had a hangover so bad I quit drinking entirely for about a year or so. However, that ended because I enjoy having a nice glass of wine from time to time.

These days I don't drink much, except when I'm flying and the wine is free. Sometimes walking in a straight line is a bit difficult after I get off the plane at my destination.

In my family, we drink a glass of champagne and have a small plate of cabbage to bring money and happy tidings into the New Year. When we were children they gave us timble fulls for this tradition. When I turned sixteen I remember teasing my mother and sister about them being alcoholics and drunks because of all the Egg Nog they consumed. I was ripping into them badly and they got pissed off and retaliated!

We were up cooking Christmas dinner and I was doing the baking. I had my back turned to them and they were pouring small shots of brandy in my Coke. I had never tasted brandy before so I thought my Coke was going flat. About two hours later I was drunk as hell and my mom and sister were cracking up! I remember being so tipsy I fell on the edge of the carpet and called them cows and was mooing on the floor to demonstrate how they were acting. That is the last thing I remember. I had the worst hangover the next day and my mom and sister were doing everything they could to make me throw up! I have a sick and twisted family!
