My first alcohol experience was when i was in the second grade. My dad had a quart of beer in the fridge & ask for some & he told me I had to drink the whole thing no exceptions. I guess he thought it would make me sick but it didn't just gassy. My first cig was at age 8 with a bunch of girls that had swiped them from their parents there was about 5 of us & I don't think we inhaled btu it did make me sick to my stomache & dizzy. I continue to smoke but I hardly ever drink. I would try not to react shocked if my son tries it because I know the more parents preach & nag about it the more exciting that makes it for kids & they do it that much more. I educate my son of the dangers of all of it, alcohol & cigs & drugs. I give him examples of bad things that happen when you use them irresponsibly. I don't want to be to loose with him because I know that can cause trouble but I dont want to be to strict either because that causes them t get buck wild.

My first was at the pool in a house my father and I lived in when I was about 8. My father was drinking a beer and I was swimming. I asked to taste it. My father got one of those smiles that I should have known he was amused for a reason I would not like. I took a mouthful and spat it out. My father just smiled at me and went back to drinking his beer. Never asked again. I have never smoked. I do drink occasionally now, but not much. I have come to like beer but, oh Gods, it tasted bad when I was about 8 and my father knew it would. If I had a child, which I do not, I would STRONGLY discourage them from smoking and, in fact, I would forbid it. I would also forbid drinking until 18 years of age.

I was 10 when I had my first alcoholic drink. I was 13 when I tried cigarettes. My parents gave me my first drink at Christmas. I was smoking at my best friends house. I drink with moderation. I have never smoked regularly. I hope my kids never smoke but I can't stop them if they start. If they drink I hope they drink responsibly. I hope they never drink and drive.

Never smoked, Don't want to. First drink I had was when I was 5 maybe, my dad (extreme drunk) gave me a sip of his bear when I asked. nasty is the best way I can describe it. The most I drink is a glass of wine every now and then, Don't do anything hard.

I just turned 18. I never drank or smoked or did drugs in high school until the very end of my senior year. My parents let me have the last sips of their beers when I was little, plus champagne at New Year's, but the first "real" alcohol I had was at my best friend's boyfriend's party during Spring Break. Classy, I know. Shot of Jagermeister. Hated it. First cigarette - 18th birthday. Bought them because I could (18th ritual, buy cigarettes and porn and register to vote, etc). Knowing how most of the people I was around in high school really were behind their parents' backs, I was a damn good kid. I've been drunk three times, always in a safe place, with a place to sleep, and only around people I know. I hate losing self-control, so I try to know my limits. Some of my closest friends do drugs, I don't. Cheesy as it sounds, one of the most important things I learned about myself in high school is that I don't need substances to have fun. I know a lot of people who do.

My first alcholic drink was wine, at my birthday when I was 11-12 y.o. It's nice... but I don't drink. Then with my friends , we hanged out together , we lit a fire and we smoked, drank, and we sang songs :) But that is in my past!! My first cigarette was L&M Lights when I was 14 y.o, I was with my friends when they asked me if I want to loose the virginity of smoking! I'm 15 y.o now and I smoke sometimes, rather to say regulary but sometimes less or sometimes more(not a cigarette)...

I had my first alcoholic drink when I was 15. My best friend decided to have a make out party and raided her mother's alcohol supply which was mainly gin. We mixed gin and orange juice. It tasted real good and I had no idea that it would hit me later and did it ever!!! When I got home I crawled to my bed and everything was spining. My mother was was loving and held my hand feeling that perhaps I learned something that night about drinking. To this day the thought of gin makes me sick. When I turned 16, which was the legal age to buy cigarettes, my best friend said lets go to the store and buy some cigarettes. So we did. I felt sick when I first tried smoking but eventually got hooked. I quit permantely 6 years later. Thank God!
