I was just thinking about how the drinking age is America is 21 and was wondering if this causes a culture gap with other countries that have have lower ages e.g The UK wich has a minimum age of 18. 

What age did you start drinking as a kid. And what did your parents do if they caught you?

17. I've never gotten caught, but I'm 20 now and my parents know that I drink. Hooray college.

I started drinking at age 17 after my parents already knew I smoked pot, so they got mad but didn't really do anything.

It's an Anchorman reference Rico.

With that said not till I was late 17ish going on 18.

Parents knew it happened sometime, didn't like it at all      didn't like it but didn't do much either.

Now I'm in college though, I can get beer faster than a pizza.

Aight... didn't know he changed his name.

Eh, the minimum age was 18 when I started drinking.   I am officially old... 36 today.

I didn't start really drinking until right before I was 18 at the beginning of my senior year. I'd been drunk before but didn't really party as a habbit. My parents had a problem with this for quite some time saying that I was too young. Argueing that they were legally allowed to drink at 18 sort of brought them around. However, as soon as they allowed me to do it, they also allowed my 16 year old sister to do it, and even buy for her without asking for her to pay them, since unlike me, she doesn't have a job to afford alcohol. ?

Am I the only 18 year old on the planet that doesn't want to drink? It has no appeal to me at all.

My son is 17, hasn't drank (yet), and has no desire to as of yet.  I was 14, and it was my dad who gave me my first beer.

Just recently (Im 16) and if my parents find out in the next 5 days, very unlikely, they wont let me get my license. I dont drink much though, never gotten drunk but only because it takes alot for me too from what Ive seen.

I started drinking at 16, my parents knew and didn't really like it. But they really didn't say anything because I was responsible about it.

Now that I am back from boot, its funny..

They are like "You are a Marine now, if you can die for your country you can drink."

Oops, my bad- I assumed in the pinecone thread that you're a young'un. apologies.

So if you caught your son drinking, what would be your reaction?

Yup, he actually said that.

15. Never been caught. But if they caught me they probably wouldn't care as much as they did about the weed, because they're hypocrites like that.

I started at age 17, a month before grad. Prior to that, I had no interest to, but I felt I was up for it/ ready so I went for it. Now I'm in 2nd year university, and my parents know/ dont care (well...now I'm legal) And actually, the first martini my mom ever had was one I bought for her when she was in town last time.
