The first drink I had that I can remember would probably have to be when I was 15. Would spend the night with my buddy on Friday nights and we'd go to the bowling alley with his older brother and his older friends and drink beer and long islands. This was also the place where damn near everyone was outside smoking and most of them were under 18 too. Since those years I've rarely gone bowling, seeing as I thought why go bowling when I can drink here on my own. I've always had a pretty high tolerance and would drink a shitload on and off over the last 10 years, although my consumption has dwindled in the past few years. Part of it is me just getting over drinking all the time, the other part being that as I drive for my lively-hood that its a good idea not to get trashed all the time and cause problems with my main source of income.
Personally I think me starting early helped me overcome the binge drinking my friends got into when they went into college, although I've seen plenty of kids that are just as irresponsible that have been doing it as long as I have been.
