Well, I was around five or six when I tasted 'Palinka' which was fucking STRONG so as you can gather I sipped and then cringed. Then last summer in Hungary I actually sat down and had a beer when a family friend popped one open and set it in front of me. My parents didn't mind and I managed down half but didn't feel the urge to finish (read: didn't like it).

Depends. Does the time when I was 3 and drank a sip of a peach wine cooler count? If not, it was 13

Yeah, do we count those times when you pestered your father or his friends into a sip of their beer?

Four if so, thirteen if not.

Well, if yours does qualify...

I was five when I tried my first beer.

I was around 7 when I had my first drink. It was for one of the holidays, and my relatives were over. I barely made it to the kitchen sink to spit it out.

I was around 18 when I had my second drink. It was a fruit drink (pineapple daquerie maybe, I don't recall). Kinda sour, but not too bad. It would've tasted better with just the fruit.

I was around 20 when I had my third drink (and however many thereafter). The campus rabbi served real food every Friday evening at his house, prepared by his wife, and served with the full ceremony (sabbath dinner takes at least 3 hours, and that's after he gets back from the temple). Sweet wine reminded me of grape juice that was about to go bad. Dry wine reminded me of raw onions. Vodka reminded me of a gas station. Fortunately, I have a high pain threshhold. Good food and interesting conversations made it worthwhile.

I had my most recent two drinks in March 2002, when the company I work for laid off 90% of its employees in one hour (I wasn't laid off, because the IT department was already understaffed). The mudslide was okay. I could barely stand the taste of the beer, and nursed it for around two hours.

Alcohol has a sour taste to it, which I taste even in the weakest drinks. Any drink that tastes good with alcohol tastes at least as good to me without it, and I can get the same buzz from a sugar high or from exhaustion (woo! stars!).

Some of my earliest memories are my dad sending me off to get him a refill on his beer/scotch. When it was beer, it never made it back to him untouched (usually gulp as much as my lil kid belly could hold), and as an interesting side note, I can no longer drink beer at all. Even the smell makes me gag.

The scotch I tried tipping back when I was about 12. The burning was entirely too much, and I don't think I had another drink til I was 16 or so.

I will have alcohol if it's a part of another drink. I've had a few really sweet drinks (Strawberry Daquiris/Margaritas) that I enjoyed, however most booze tastes like I'd imagine urine to taste. It definitely tastes like it belongs in the toilet

I can't without getting kicked out of my student government position.

Or, at least, no one can know about it.

But after having some "non-alcoholic" beers, the taste has started to grow on me.

Aquired taste my ass.

I sometimes have have a single wine cooler on special occasions (major holidays, family gatherings, etc) but even then it's rare.

As for when I had my first drink, I'd have to say around 10. Go go communion wine.

I won a bottle of champagne when I was like 6 or 7 on a plane by guessing how much we'd be delayed (airline sponsored contest, go figure). Then a looong time went by where I had sips to drink and such (which don't count). When I was like, 11 or so, I started hanging with the "cool kids" and got into smoking and drinking, moreso the former than the latter but still.

Broke the smoking habit at the ripe age of 13 or 14, but got into drinking later (I still am. the beer ). It's a cultural thing, though, so eh. Not drinking isn't socially acceptable.
