I stopped having birthday "parties" after about 8, except one at 13 & one at 18--my strict step mom hosted those... no booze. When joalis and I turned 21, our step mom and dad took us out and had drinks and dinner.

I haven't really had a birthday party since I was little. My sophomore year of college we had a mini party which just involved cake and cards, and there was whiskey at that one. So 19, if that counts. And we had a couple of house parties which nominally included my birthday, a few years ago; if you count those, then I guess I was about 25.

Once when I was little my Mom mixed a little champagne with my orange juice. That was the foirst and last time alcholol touched these lips, cause I spit it out immediately. Now I have a No Smoking, No Drinking sign on my bedroom door.

The first time I guess it was when I turned 10.A bottle of sweet wine was served along with coke,orange juice and other kids' beverages. * smile *

13 - but it was not an official birthday party that my parents were aware of. I looked older than my age and me and my mates pooled our money and I was sent into the off-licence to buy some wine.

I think I was 16 or 17, which is pretty normal here.

Beer was available for the adults at even my childhood parties. I didn't drink at my parties until I was a teenager.

Judging by how you spell, champagne isn't very far from your lips now.

I don't drink, never have and there never was alcohol in the house when I was being raised by my grandparents.

I haven't had a birthday party since I was 6. I usually have a birthday meal with my family, and often my parents and brothers will have some wine or something to go with it. But I don't drink.

I'm throughing myself a birthday party the 14th of June, I'll supply the 5 kegs of beer and some of my moonshine spiked punch, if the people coming over want hard liquor they have to BYOB, and beer if they don't like keg beer. Right now I think I have about 100 or so people coming that I know of, its going to be one hell of a good time * raspberry *  * yes *

I'm not sure. I don't recall having a birthday party when I was 19 and therefore legal. I have a picture of me at a family birthday party when I turned 20. There isn't any alcohol in the picture, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any. I do remember having beer at my 21st. It was a family dinner in an Indian restaurant. I knew the owner, and he gave me one on the house. So either 20 or 21. I'm sure that I didn't have birthday parties when I was in my late teens and my parents would certainly not have served me liquor prior to that.

I hope! liquor sounds a bit heavy---but beer or wine maybe?

Liquor is one of those confusing English words that can mean a specific class of things or a more general class of of things. Sort of like "classical music". Sometimes this confusion is allayed by prefixing "hard" in front of liquor.

When I think liquor I think spirits or liqueuers...you know stuff that is over 20%...

It was my 21st birthday and my best friend (who is a month older than me) threw me a huge bash with lots of booze....I got so drunk that I didn't want to drink again for several months.

That would be the more specific use of the word. I've seen it used (rarely) to describe consumable liquids that have no alcohol at all; the juices of a roast or a piece of fruit...I suspect the word originally was synonymous with "liquid". Geoffrey Chaucer opens his Canterbury Tales with:

"Whan that Aprill with his shoures sote
The droughte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour..."

...now that might be poetic license, but... * wry smile *
