When you first tried alcohol?

About 12, didn't care for it, was with my mother and her friends. No, didn't get buzzed and never felt compelled to really get into drink much after that, either. Now I just plain don't bother. I don't mind people drinking, though, so long as you're responsible and safe, have at it.
I don't remember at what age, it was with an adult and the taste?...
To this day, I don't understand how anyone can drink something so repulsive.

When I was sixteen, with my parents. 
Was only a sip, but it was my first brush with alcohol. I don't drink it much, but I have it in the house.

I was 12 and given it by my friend Tina. It was brilliant and I've been a drinker ever since.
I tried beer when I was 5 years old, it was so bitter that I immediately spit it out. I tried beer again when I was 14 years old. I did not like the taste but I anyhow swallowed one glass. I liked the pleasant sensation afterward. I did not try alcoholic drinks again until I was 19 years old.
I don’t really remember, as it was never a big deal, it was pretty normal for most people back then.
If they were having some alcohol, especially with a meal, they’d let kids have a little taste.
And let’s not forget the old trick of rubbing a bit of alcohol on a toothache.
So, I’d say I was exposed to it from a very, very young age.

My dad used to work for a company called Midwest Liquors and he would bring home the bottles that had ripped labels or the wax not properly placed on the tops. I don't remember what age, but it was under 12 when I got my first taste. Of course I hated it. I'm still not fond of alcohol and that's probably because my parents always let us taste it and we didn't have the taste buds for it at a young age and never really grew into it either.
I think I was around 15ish and with friends. The typical, "Come on over, my parents are never home/don't care, let's drink!" I drank a little, but never caught on mainly because I Have a parent who is an alcoholic. Partly why I decided not to drink it going forward.
I never had tried vices before I got into college.
I'm about to be a freshman in college and my friends celebrated for passing my entrance exam with a bottle of soju and they treat me to a Korean barbeque. I don't remember the exact flavour, they got tons of flavour for Soju. But it was alright.
