Barathemos : Um ok. I have actually never paid attention to that, or thought about it, but whatever.

I dunno, 8, maybe younger.
Within reason its legal to drink from any age with permission and supervision of a legal guardian.
Then at 16 anyone can drink, and 18 you can get into pubs and clubs.

Most parents give their kid a drink to put them off in future. It normally works up until about 16.
I only started drinking properly about 17 though.

thenumberone : 8?! I have a feeling based on that and the rest of your reply that you live in Europe somewhere.

Lol, its not hard to figure out where I post from.

thenumberone :

I am also an Yuropean, like thenumberone, but from more up north a bit. Our drinking customs might be odd to you, but you have to understand that Yurop is a poor country and a backwards society. We hate freedom.

Brigand : I think you summoned the wrong person. And I wasn't saying that Europe is a backwards country (even though it isn't even a country, it is a continent), I was saying that because the drinking laws are different there.

Brigand :
"Yurop is a poor country and a backwards society. "
Rofl.

The way things are going, its cheaper to drink the cold away than turn the heater on.

Edit-europe isnt a continent, its actualy eurasia.
Europe and asia are one continent.

thenumberone : Can't tell if joking ot serious..... The are seven continents. Europe and Asia are separate continents. That is like saying that North and South America are one continent.

Hmm... The first time I ever had alcohol was when I was either 2 or 3. My father (Hans) was having a party with a bunch of his friends, and kept his margarita mix in what USUALLY has Gatorade. My brother and sister kept chugging it (they were 5 and 7), and I had one sip and spat it out. I don't really remember that incident, but everyone else does. The first one I can remember was when I was 7, and I tried "non-alcoholic beer" (which was bogus, it was just extremely toned down beer, it was 1 proof), and I hated it. Then, when I was about 12, I tried my first sip of red wine, and I actually enjoyed it! I've never had it in large amounts before, but I certainly do enjoy red wine. White wine is too bitter for me, though. Then a couple of years later I had some of a Mike's Hard Lemonade, which was actually really good, you couldn't even really taste the alcohol in it. That's all of my first experiences that I know of. What I learned:

I hate margaritas
I hate beer
I like red wine
I hate white wine
I like hard lemonade

PS : I've never been drunk.

thenumberone :

Aye. So it is.Maybe it is time also again to make use of of the old skills to brew some of your own, eh?

Im being serious.

You have been lied to.

Brigand :
Microbreweries are actually starting to take off here, its pretty easy to get hold of all the stuff you need to start brewing your own kegs.

thenumberone : If you read the first two sentences, it says it is a combination of two continents. And I just noticed the "Scotland" banner next to your post *facepalms*

No it says the combined continental landmass of its 2 constituents.
If you go further down it then says that the europe asia divide is a "historical and cultural construct, with no clear physical separation between them"
Google it, you will see.

The first and only time U tried an alcoholic beverage was 2-3 years ago, I think. Since I kept bothering my grandma about why she even drinks beer and why she even likes it, she made me try it. I didn't like it...

Well no I have not drunk any alcohol in my life and I don't plan to anytime soon as well. All of my family members (including aunts and uncles) have never touched an alcohol bottle. One of my friends did actually admit on drinking one glass of beer when he was younger though mainly because he thought it was some other drink.

B619ook : If you haven't had alcohol before, it isn't really necessary to post here.

When I was like 13 years old I had a tiny bit of a sip of Heiniken ( if that is an alcholic beverage ) . But I did not take a large amount just a small quantity

Mr. Zed : Yeah Heiniken is a beer, which has alcohol in it. Did you like it? Or was it disgusting? 

If I remember correctly I was in about 7th grade so I'd say I was about 13 or 14. It wasn't a big deal just a average party drinking, playing beer pong.
