I still remember the very first drink I ever had way back as a teenager.
It was Heineken Bock Beer and we were on a school outing.

In my case, it was Mogen David, consumed at the Bar Mitzvah of a Jewish buddy when I was twelve or thirteen.
Thinking back, I must have been twelve, because the local Catholic priest came around some months later and tried to reason with my mother that the spiritual affairs of a household should not be ruled by a "thirteen-year-old". I had read a book around that time that convinced me that the RC Church was an anti-American institution, and I, in turn, had convinced my (divorced) mom. LOL! This was the early sixties.
