I had my first sip of beer at a few years of age, just little sips now and then. I don't think I had something like a full glass of wine until I was 12 or so. It'd just be one then. I honestly never in my life ever drank to get plastered (or to the point of getting sick, never had a hangover either) or anything like that, I mainly like the taste of sweet alcoholic beverages. Now that I'm older though and doing my own shopping and living in a more diverse place I tend to go for a lot of Middle Eastern alcohol-like drinks, very similar if not the same taste to a lot of what I like and cheaper!
In terms of how I feel about underage drinking I think it isn't a big deal, just don't make it taboo or forbidden completely at any age, I feel that tends to encourage indulging in it to excess in teens/young adults.
