I don’t use drugs nor alcohol, but I just turned 18 and I noticed that a lot of people younger than me (high school age so 14-17 even) use alcohol and sometimes drugs from siblings, older friends, etc.
Did you do that when you were younger than me? I don’t plan on doing so anyway.
I don’t remember exactly when I had my first alcoholic drink. Probably 22? I remember not being in a big hurry to start drinking, and I remember trying a wine cooler and thinking it was ok except for the alcohol flavor. Wine coolers! 🤣
I probably started drinking regularly around age 25. Some friends were having White Russians at a dinner party, and I really enjoyed the taste.
Nowadays I don’t drink much. Maybe one drink a month? It’s a tasty treat once in a while, but I hate the hung over feeling which seems to hit after like 2 drinks even if I’m careful about hydration.
