We called it "taxes".
When Dad sent us to the fridge to get him a beer, whatever we could drink on the walk back was fair game. |

I used to steal my old man's beer and chug it down. He didn't think it was funny, neither did my mother.
Me on the other hand thought it hilarious.  I did drink pretty heavy through school, and throughout my 20s. As I grew older, I just began to drink less and less. Now I do not drink much at all. Weeks and months nary a drop. Every few days I'll have a drink or a beer. It will take me months to kill a 6er. |

Dad would fill my huckleberry hound cup to the brim when he came home from 2nd shift. Probably 5-6yrs old.
PBR IIRC He even let me watch Benny hill at 11:30pm.

1974.I was three the first time I got drunk. Got up in the middle of the night and finished a can of Bud that was left on the coffee table. My mother woke up to me singing Happy Birthday and doing the dishes (with a whole bag of flower dumped in the sink). When she asked what the hell I was doing, I was startled and fell off the chair, landing on my head and splitting it open. Away we went to the hospital where my hugely embarressed mother worked as an ER nurse. The doctor thought it was funny as hell as he stitched me up.

My father had a collection of frosty glass mugs in the freezer, most of them were from the volunteer FD he served with. When he would pour a beer into a mug, there was a swallow or two that wouldn’t fit…that was mine to finish. Usually Genesee Cream Ale or Ballantine Ale.

ETA. I’ve thought about giving my grandson a sip before. He’s 10. Times have changed and I’d probably get arrested. |

I know for a fact my grandpa was giving me scotch off his finger as an infant and I can remember drinking from their cocktails from as far back as I remember. Me and my cousins started making our own drinks for cocktail hour probably around 8 or 9th grade. Not a bit of alcoholism in the family tree and all very high functioning citizens.
Compare that with the anxiety wracked youth of today. |

I think my daughter's first two words spoken together were "daddy beer". She made a game of sneaking around my chair and trying to grab my beer. I still laugh at the time she successfully snatched it and teetered on tippy-toes for about 8 steps trying to chug before her mother grabbed her and proceeded to give me hell for laughing so hard.

I have no memory of it, but my mother tells the story of how she came inside from mowing the lawn to find me sitting on the kitchen floor giggling for no reason. She had no idea why I was acting that way until she saw the empty beer can on the floor near me.
I'm guessing 3 or 4. It may have been the same year the farmer down the road brought me home when I left the house unnoticed to see his sheep and cows. |

Not a toddler, but I remember when I was about 4 my grandpa took me fishing and he ran a stringer through a 6 pack of Pabst and threw in the lake to keep it cold. It was hot than crap out and humid. He gave me a few swigs, all told maybe half a beer by the time it was all said and done. My mom was not at all happy when he brought me home. It began a lifelong love affair with beer.

My dad let me have a swig of his Coors when I was 4 while he was watching ABC wide world of sports back in 1970. I clearly remember gagging on it right as the ramp skier was wiping out in the beginning of the show. He was lighting up a cigarette as he laughed at my reaction to the taste of beer. Quite a different world than the one we live in now.

When I was seven, I marched into the living room and told my mom that I was going to have a beer, then marched out.
She didn't believe me, but I grabbed a bottle of my dad's Rolling Rock, got the cap off and drank the whole thing. She found me in the corner of the kitchen, blitzed out of my mind, where I proceeded to throw up.

There is a picture somewhere of me (around 3) in my grandmother's lap with a miller pony bottle. I would get the last few sips of my dad's beer from time to time. I didn't even know that it was illegal until a cop said "Isn't he a little young" when I was sipping one at the motorcycle races in Daytona circa 1987.
