I began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen and gave it up in my fifty sixth year; it was like going straight from puberty to a mid-life crisis.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I seriously started drinking probably when I was about twelve. Kids are doing a lot of stuff very early.
I was an alcoholic, for sure. It became a problem steadily over the course of six years.
Frankly, alcohol leads to a lot of other things when you start drinking at 12-years old. It is a big problem that needs to be addressed. Frankly, the industry has pushed us back and pushed us back.
It wasn't being an alcoholic - it was going wild. It happened when I got famous. It was like having my teens in my early thirties: blotting out your life, not having to think about anything.
I've been drinking and using since I was 13.
I wish I'd gotten sober at a younger age.
It started twelve and went on until twelve. I never had to buy a drink all day!
I learned early to drink beer, wine and whiskey. And I think I was about 5 when I first chewed tobacco.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the first use of alcohol typically begins at age 12.
I got drunk when I was five. Everybody gets drunk before they're 21.
