Growing up, the adults would let us take sips of beer they were drinking. By 13, I had tried Whiskey, and around 14 - 18 I drank on and off, but to this day, I have never been drunk and will never be drunk.
That is a good resolution. I cannot say the same thing I am afraid, though it has been decades since I was drunk. I used to sneak sips of wine from open bottles in the dining room cupboard. I got caught by my father and had my bare bum caned for it. I should have learnt then.
