[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father's family is European, and even when we were little (before age ten), the kids in our family would be served wine - like, two sips - with meals. Alcohol and drinking were demystified for us, and it obviously wasn't forbidden, so I didn't sense any "mystique" around it. I felt much better prepared for the marathon booze-fest that is American university than my friends who hasn't been exposed. I had no interest in going totally nuts with alcohol in my late teens/early twenties. [/quote] Are you me?? +1. Though I think the first time I was buzzed was at my 10 or 11th bday party...we went to dinner and over the course of a 3 hour meal, I had an entire bottle of soft cider (the 2.5%) alcohol stuff...anyway...once I got to college in the U.S., I wasn't interested I. The drinking scene because I'd tasted everything before, knew what I liked and didn't so felt no need to explore in an irresponsible way.[/quote]
