Need drinking advice (Adult Advice)

Hmmmmmmm if you haven't drank before, why start? I mean I do drink, I will be 21 in july, and I started drinking before I was legal to, (19 in Canada) so I really started when I was like honestly 14! Not proud of that! If I had never drank before like you, and brought drinking into my lifestyle/friends, I don't think I would really ever start. I don't really drink now except for a glass of wine at dinner or something and I don't go to the bar really either.

Drinking is a responsability and you have obviously thought it out and seem like a sensible person so if thats what you have your mind set on I guess then go for it. I wouldn't reccomend going to the bar first off, and I would drink with someone you trust. Your plan seems pretty good, except for the Keiths part I spent 2 years in Halifax going to university where Keiths beer was first brewed and it is not the best beer! Some ppl like it I guess but I think thats just cause they want to drink Keiths cause it's Keiths, not cause it taste good! You kinda have to have a tast for beer but try a light one maybe first. I wouldnt reccomend getting into the hard stuff though! Not now anyways! Hope that helps and good luck!

Edit: I didn't realize that you were having troubles in your life right now, so what I previously said would only apply if you are in a good emotional state and place in life. Because I drank so early, I learned the hard way, and I drank when I was depressed and when I was on medication and was irresponsible (then again I was too young). I don't want anyone to think I grew up in a bad family or anything because I didn't I had really strict parents I just rebelled and I live in a small town where drinking is the pass time. I regret starting and am so thankful I didnt become an alcoholic. Like I said I now only drink a glass of wine with supper occasionaly and thats it. Honestly, depression and drinking leads down a dirty road that you don't want to go down that caused me a lot of bad situations and messes (socially and physically). I really would not drink if I were you. I hope things are going ok with you and that you make whatever decision best suits your life right now
