How old were you when your dad gave you a sip of his beer?

I must have been 9 or 10.
It was an O'Keefe. It tasted horrible. Then again, beer tastes horrible the first time you try it. Especially as a kid.
How old were you?

5 or 6. I used to get the first small sip of my dad's beer if I got it and took it to him. He wasn't a big drinker, so this would only happen 2 or 3 times a month. I actually liked the taste of beer right from the first time I tried it. Not sure if it was the fizz, or the notion of mirroring my fathers taste for it.

About 5 or 6 too, never liked it until I was about 15 though. I currently don't drink because of medical issues

Probably 7, but it was a sip of Merlot. Usually got a little taste of wine during big family gatherings

From when I was about ten years old I was offered a glass of cider (5% ABV) at christmas breakfast (french cheeses on baguettes) and christmas dinner (meat gourmette) on the first and second dy of christmas.
I remember it making my face blush and on hindsight becoming more talkative and loud but I didn't feel anything or, didnt discern the tipsy state from sobriety, it was just like it was.
Now that would be almost illegal or considered child abuse but it was natural and, it just was how it was.
Maybe that's more European. In France youngsters are treated to a bit of wine with a meal at a young age more often too.
Its fucked up if you can go to war but can't buy a bottle of whiskey.

My dad gave me a drink of Miller High Life when I was 8. I thought it was nasty. That changed when I was like 14 or 15 though.

Somewhere between 5 and 7 I'm not sure, used to eat cheese and watch Wallace and Grommit I recall, and sometimes I'd get a sip.
I don't drink at all now but its a good memory

never. 35 years old and never tasted the stuff - smells awful.
most i've ever done is tried wine when cooking beef stew, and discovered, to my amusement, i can taste ethanol. white, red, rose, candy, pinot noir - it doesn't matter what kind of wine it is, it all tastes horribly bitter, dry, and disgusting (along with fiery) - sorta like biting into that hard crunchy thing that separates the two halves of a walnut.
same taste is there when trying kombucha, though much fainter, obviously. still enough to put me off the taste of the stuff.
as soon as it's used in a recipe and the alcohol is cooked off though? delicious as an ingredient. same thing with the kombucha - once someone heated up some kombucha with some spices for a while and let it cool down and that stuff tasted delicious.

That was more common. Maybe 4? Always had loaded rifles, handguns etc.. throughout the house unlocked as a child. BB guns knives. It was normal back then. Not so sure I’d raise kids that way nowadays. I remember as a kid grandpa took us out to shoot 22 the first round backfired did something weird and blew up all over my brothers face lol. Grandpa grabbed a different rifle and immediately made my brother shoot again.

I was I think 10 or 11 that I mail ordered a bb air rifle and started target shooting. My mom wasnt happy about "a gun in the house" but saw that I responsibly plinked and didnt aim for birds or cats or did other irresponsible stuff with it so she let it be.

Lol gotta love the old timers. I was raised by my great grandparents. I was around 5. Well that is the earliest memory I have of shooting anything. It was a 45 magnum revolver. Thank GOD I had a good teacher and didnt fuck my little face up

Wow you were responsible yourself? You sound like a good kid. I was not a good kid lol. I wasnt evil but I liked pranks lol (not with firearms just to be clear. I did have good teacher and knew from that age to NEVER point a gun at someone unless you are %100 going to fire it)

Friends of the family lived on a farm, when there I had to permission to either shoot crows or fishers cause they would eat the animals, I never ran into either though

If you're on a farm with pest animals like rats, and your air rifle is high powered enough to reliably take them out in one shot, you're doing meaningful pest control. A rat is much better off with a barely subsonic 5.5mm pellet square through the brain than eating a rat poison pellet and dying after prolonged suffering from massive internal bleeding 5 days later.
In the city though, no need to shoot a bird or somebodies cat.

My father doesn't drink. My grandfather however had a routine of a glass of Powers whiskey and a small can of Heineken every evening. I reckon I was about 8 or so when he let me and my cousin have a sip.
He used to be a prolific brewer back in days gone by and every time someone renovates a room in his house or pulls up a floorboard, there's usually a bottle of strange fruit wine being aged. About two years ago we found some 40 year old rhubarb wine he had put behind a wall.
As teenagers we got a hold of his brewing equipment and brewing books, and he had a large fruit garden that we would use to make alcoholic ciders.

At a school evening party. Bunch of us was wanted to get liquored up, so we sent 1 guy to the kiosk right outside school and he bought a large can of beer. He smuggled it successfully thro all the teachers. We locked ourself in a classroom on the third floor and had some of that beer. All I remember it was felt GREAT we started goofing around jumping up and down, crawling on desks... that was us being 12 I think, good times

I would acctually prefer people with fences of a certain height being allowed to discharge air rifles in their back yard. At least its possible to aim away from my cat and preferably my property.
When you put poison into what is effectively a container made out of cat bait thats worrying to me.
I refuse to use poison to kill pests on my property. My cat takes care of rodents besides bunnies and squirrels. I dont mind bunnies but I'd shoot every last squirrel in my city if I could. I hate those things.

My dad died of an overdose when I was 9. My mother began a relationship with my uncle (my dad's brother) but he was much worse on alcohol and crack + had many major mental health problems. He hung himself in 2012. I was around 17 when I started drinking but around 15 or 16 when I began messing with psychedelics.

Probably like 2, maybe younger lol. There is a picture of me taking a swig of PBR as a toddler. I remember I didn't mind the taste. Drank heavy in my late teens - mid 20s. Have not had a sip of alcohol in over 4 years.

I've never seen my dad drink a beer. He only drinks a Tom Collins every once in a while. I did steal a beer from the fridge at around 16 or so and it tasted horrible to me. I didn't really like it until college.
