Whats interesting about drinking is that when your body reaches its natural limit, it takes your senses 45mins more to alert you to that fact. So when you feel battered, you've been drinking 45minutes worth of damaging alcohol....... Hence the regular comatose moments and regrettable actions committed during a night out.
I'm about to start a 6 month job as assisstant manager of my local village pub and I would never serve to a minor simply because exceptions are impossible when dealing with a law primarily there from lowering the numbers of tweenies at an AA meeting

Darn... saw this thread and thought Ku'u was on.
It's an old thread, but I missed it the first time. The first time I got throwing up drunk was at my uncle's house. I was about 16 and I drank six beers-- about five more than I had ever had at one time before. I ended up heaving my guts out off the front of my uncle's porch while he held on to my belt loop.
My first margarita was made for me by my aunt at a party we were having at the house. My first drink of whisky was from my dad's glass. He used to get us kids to mix his drinks for him, and we would 'steal' sips.
Did I mention that alcoholism, like bad tempers and red hair, tends to run in my family? It missed me, fortunately.

That's why I set myself a limit and stick to it. I can drink two drinks and be somewhat light and giddy. A third drink and I'm about as far gone as I need to be. Four, and I would begin to act stupid. So two is usually my limit. Sometimes I will allow myself three. I don't go beyond that.
That's in the time space of an evening out, about 3-5 hours. I don't generally drink during the day.

dude sorry if you took that as an insult
i meant it as a joke. most ppl dont have the smae twisted sense of humor as i do, and i get in trouble for it.
and also i think nogstalgic means "thinkign of the past in a happy way". So i tohugh you meant you had fun drinking
sorry man

I started off drinking in pubs when I was 15 - it's easier for a girl to make herself look older, and I can remember occassionally having some of my dad's whiskey or rum when I was a kid when he and his friends were playing cards - usually poker. I drank quite a lot for a while in my late teens but then it just petered out - mainly 'cos I nearly came a cropper on my motorbike. These days I just tend to drink on special occassions at home, but rarely outside because I'm usually driving and because my daughter's disabled so I can't afford to lose my licence.
I've given my nieces and eldest nephew drinks when they were younger, usually lager or wine, but never my daughter(but then she hasn't shown any interest as yet).
