At what age did you start drinking alcohol?!
After seeing several questions where people seem to think it's appalling to drink alcohol before you reach adulthood I was wondering how old people were when they started drinking. Surely Americans don't wait until they're 21 to try their first sip of alcohol (for example)?
I used to be given watered down wine from about the age of ten, I'm now nearly 18 and drink very sensibly. I have beer and wine at home, occasionally something like port or sherry and when I go out I normally have beer, wine or sometimes a cocktail. I hate alcohol pops and I don't go binge drinking. I feel it's better that I've been slowly introduced to alcohol and I actually appreciate it for it's flavour, not just because it makes me feel nice (although that helps too).
I think I might regret asking this, but what are your lovely opinions on when people should start drinking? And when did you have your first taste of alcohol?
