Hit me! (I've already done the meme here (http://melayneseahawk.livejournal.com/288823.html).)
Ah, my introduction to beer. My parents never made alcohol taboo (one of the good things about the way they raised me), so I'd had sips of my mom's beer and wine since I was 14-15 and I was in no rush to get drunk when I got to college. I had a Milwaukee's Best (eugh, lite beer) at my first college party, which a drunk guy who was trying to hit on me spilled all over my shoes. Then I drank a whole Rolling Rock the night before I moved out of the dorms after withdrawing the first time, because I wasn't sure I was coming back and it was kind of embarrassing to have gone almost eight months of college without even finishing a drink. My friends made me drink silly mixed drinks at my 21st birthday party. Last summer, a few of my coworkers used to hang out at this pub down the street, and I started drinking Sam Adams lager while I was there (the only mixed drink I like is something froofy, and the place was too straight for me to feel comfortable with that), which I was surprised to find that I liked. And then I tried Guinness when I went out for New Year's, and I loved it. Liquid bread, yum.
