I'm old enough, but I find no pleasure in loss of judgement and coordination, and alcohol tastes sour.

Kids generally don't. I didn't when I was a kid, but it's a unique taste that you grow into.

I hadn't tasted beer since I was six years old, but as I hit my mid-teens I started craving it at odd times. Particularly at night.

I used to be a HUGE nut for straight Vodka, but one time I got extremely sick and drunk off it and I haven't been able to stomach it since.

First alcoholic beverage I had, was strawberry daquiri, when my parents took me out to eat.

My first though was, 'Uuugh! Way to ruin a perfectly good virgin daquiri!'

I hate the taste of alcohol. Only drinks with little alcohol taste appeal to me. Like amaretto sours.

Blender drinks are usually shit. They're only really popular among people who are already fans of hard stuff and want some variety.

Try a long island iced tea some time.

If and when I drink (now. may change in 5 days when im 21) I drink a bottle or two max of my beverage of choice. I don't want to get drunk either, I drink when I am around friends and such. Just because ya drink doesnt mean ya will get drunk.

And AJ (Ooh. Ill call Archer-Janet AJ now. yes.) and others that haven't tasted alcohol...Some is good, some bad. When you are old enough / allowed by parents to drink you may want to try some of the lighter stuff, or wine coolers. Heck, I have never liked the taste of beer much myself (but am told a quality beer is quite tasty).

It really boils all down to specific tastes. And even then, there is nothing saying thaty ou are required to drink. You dont ever have to if ya dont wanna

You are all weak. Like Maradon said.

I'm underage, but it's way more fun that way, because it's like "I'm so bad." Of course, then you stumble in, wasted, at 3 AM, thinking "My mom's never gonna find me." So you stagger up the stairs loudly into your bedroom, then you get into a shitload of trouble with your mom, but you don't really know that because your horribly, horribly wasted. Happens every time.

I also drink wine all the time, and my parents approve of that.

Nope! *ehem* guess having a grandad that would let you have beer when you were 4...

And having parents who would let you try something out, to learn the consiquences...

Beer tastes nasty. It smells like shit, and it tastes like shit. (Don't get into that "And how would you know?" business. ) I've always preferred virgin strawberry daquaries over regular ones. But I do like wine... White or red, not blush.

How could you like alcoholic drinks anyways? (I know I just admitted a couple that I like) They're depressants! Depressants are evil.

Not at all, in fact, my dad is often the one who introduces new drinks to me, when he finds one he likes. And for those of you who are snickering behind my back, he's more of a conniseur than an alcoholic, he knows a lot about fine wines and stuff, he just likes to be an authority on liquor.

And also, as a comment to the thread title, you have to be 21 to BUY alcohol, yes, but you don't have to be to drink it

I'm not nearly old enough to buy alcohol, and I think it would be weird as hell to drink with my parents. I drink with my friends. My parents are my gaurdians. I don't think it would work for me.

Alcohol isn't for everyone. If you don't like it, that's great, but it doesn't mean other people can't like it either. Too add to that, beer is an aquired taste. You have to drink a fair amount regularly to like it (for most people I know anyways). If you drink a quality beer every night with dinner for a month, you probably end up liking them. Or you won't, and you'll have just wasted 30 beers.

Also, I'd have to say, 90% of the time, I drink to get drunk, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I'm well old enough to drink, but I don't often. I grew up watching my dad pound down a quart or so of scotch every night. *gags*

I do occasionally enjoy a shot or two of good tequila though. :>

As for drinking around the family, it's no big deal to have a couple during the holidays. *shrug* First thing I get asked when I come in the house is what I want. I screwed up a few times when I was younger (19-20ish), and got blithering drunk at Christmas. Family stress is fun, really.

I've reformed since... really!

Drinking in front of my parents... haven't got a problem with that. Heck, my mom's the one that brings back the Guinness when she finds some since she knows I like it

*opens one* ahh.. Guinness.. the one true drink.

Actully I think You can't drink underage. Cigs it's the Can't buy but can smoke ,but for booze you have to old enough to drink it.

Also I just feel odd to drink around my folks because I drink lot more than them. I am a big guy and I can take alot more.

Hell we have BarBQ and Margarita night at my moms on occasion. I'm usually bringing Sky Blue's or Ricks with me when we are all hanging out. So no, don't think it's a problem.

I rarely drink though to begin with, so get togethers and events are about all there is anyway.
