First beer ?

[nowski]

I was about 7 or 8 years old. It's Saturday morning time for a bowl of cereal and to watch my favorite (The Jetsons) cartoons. I put the cereal in the bowl and opened the fridge to get my milk and guess what, no milk. I did see a 6 pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon starring me in the face. I grabbed a beer and went to the TV for some cartoon action. I hit the fridge 2 more times. I don't know what got into me but I was feeling kind of tired so I went back to bed. I remember my Dad waking me up around 11:30 or 12:00. My Dad asked if I drank any of his beers I said yes I did. My Dad wasn't happy with that answer and asked why I drank his beer. I told him that there was no milk in the fridge for my cereal and that the only thing in there was his beer. My Dad was pissed and told me that he never wanted this to happen again. Well one thing was for sure my parents always made it a point to have milk in the fridge. However I actually started hitting the sauce at the age of 13 (1973) along with some other recreational highs, that was my 1st year in High School. I actually quit drinking 2/28/09. I came to the realization that my Family was more important to me than having my Wife and Kids see me hammered again. I had a great run but it was time to act like the Dad and Husband that my Family deserved...

Side Note: Whenever I do have a craving I reach for a Beck's Non Alcoholic simply the best.
