Questions and instructions

Question pretext

The next 9 questions ask about drinking alcohol. This includes drinking beer, whiskey, and other alcoholic drinks, but not Kava Tonga. Drinking alcohol does not include drinking a few sips of wine for religious purposes. A “drink” is a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, a small glass of liquor, or a mixed drink.

Literal question

How old were you when you had your first drink of alcohol other than a few sips?
