My first alcohol experience
I always loved New Year's Eve. Opposite to Christmas for Canadian kids, for me it was tons of gifts from family and friends, the most scrumptious food and my favorite cartoons on TV. Each year I started to dream about it in October, and for three months my life was passing in a fairy tale. Now, I am almost 19, but my most memorable moments are still related to New Year's celebration. One of them got stuck in my head so hard, that even if I lose all my memory in a car accident, as it often happens to TV shows' heroines, this "experience" will definitely not be forgotten.It happened when I was only 3 years old.

Suddenly, they gave me a cup with something dark in it and told that it was a new sort of Coke, which Maria brought from France. Although being a little scared, I didn't want to show it, so I took an immense sip. That is what it was, as my mom told me ten years later. More than that, I can't even look at it. She often tells her friends: "My daughter is the only nineteen year old teenager, who does not drink any kind of alcohol".
