My first taste of alcohol

Okay, so for the past month of so, we've had this bottle of Sangria in our refrigerator. I have no idea who bought it or what it's for, but I figured it was either A) a birthday or Christmas present for my little sister, who just turned twenty-one a couple of weeks ago or B) for a special occasion, like New Year's or something like that. Well, today when I went to get a glass of orange juice, I noticed somebody had gotten into the wine. Since I've never had alcohol before and I've always wanted to try wine, I figured, "Hey, it's about time I finally I finally take advantage of being legal and stop being such a goody-two-shoes," so I poured myself a tiny glass and drank it.

What did I think?

Yucky. I don't know if it was just cheap or what, but it was absolutely disgusting.

Yeah, I don't see me drinking again any time soon.

Hee! Was that your first? I hated my first drink, too. Tasted like cough syrup. I've never had a second one.

Yep, my first one, and probably my last.

I wished it had taste like cough syrup. I don't mind cough syrup, but this one...ugh. I can't even describe it, only to say that it's how I always though a bottle of rubbing alcohol would taste, with just a touch of grape.

Granted I'm still underage, but I've found the only alcohol I can stand is champagne at weddings. I've also tried chardonnay, beer, and this Godiva chocolate concoction. Hated them.

Godiva chocolate concoction? That sounds...interesting.

Disgusting, but interesting.

Sangria is supposed to be good. Popular with the older women. ;) Never had it myself. When we were in college, we would make what was called "WOP" Basically you put whatever alcohol and fruit you had in a large clean container and add fruit juice or something. Never made it...but drank plenty of it. ^^;
