Kid was 7
[ Kid was 7 ]
I was about that age and curious... My dad and his buddies were at the kitchen table and they would have a few drinks while playing cards, I was curious so he have me a little bit of whiskey in a shot glass....
I remember running to the bathroom crying with a burning mouth... I never asked for whiskey for another 10 years....
Probably a reasson why i don’t drink much at all today.
Yea, so? I had sips of wine and champaign at family gatherings and holidays starting about that age. Small amount, just to toast with. 4 years later in Paris, we went out to a fancy dinner boat cruise down the Seine, and I had a glass of something with every course.
Slept till noon the next day, and learned what a hangover was. To this day, Wine still gives me a foggy haze the next day. Anyway, It kind of took the mystique out of alcohol for me.
Under controlled conditions with parental consent and supervision; small amounts, I don’t see a problem with.
