Vodka red bull used to be a favourite of mine. Keeps you buzzing.
Ive had similar concoction, orange juice, Amp and brandy
List of things to try. Most of the parties have a drink what you bring type policy. So once your 6 pack has gone you end up with the weirest spirits that you find in the back of the drinks cabinet. I do quite like baby guinnesses though they have an ok taste for a mix of coffee and baileys two drinks I don;t particularly like.
Considering most people don't like wine, let alone alcohol, until their mid-late teens having even a reasonably developed pallet at your age seems very unlikely.
I'm speaking with the experience of quite a few years of underage drinking. Alcohol, in any form, just doesn't appeal to the taste buds of children.
Say what you want, I just can't really believe it.
Um that would damage your pallet because of the slight acidity of the wine :|
If you let wines that need it breathe, there isn't much of a deleterious effect. I'm not saying that I have an adult-level pallet, just that my pallet is more developed than most of my age's pallets.

Like I said, my pallet isn't highly developed, just more developed than most of my age group. And I somewhat like bitterness. Besides, I'm not the only kid I know that likes wine- maybe it's a cultural thing. But it's fairly common for children, at least that I know, to have somewhat of an affinity for certain wines.
there serve sleeping quarters too, basically you pay a hole opens up you climb in and goto sleep. They also sell lobster dinners, but they kinda taste nasty.
That's just because Japan has no room for modern hotels... they are comfy, just compact. There are other regular, American hotels, they just cost more. Besides, sleeping is sleeping, and when both have comfy beds, who wins? The capsules. You don't need looks and atmosphere to sleep. So there

Thus I return to the old adage 'wine before beer is queer'.
As for the cultural thing, did you just imply culture and America in the same sentece? Drinking wine at a young age is a Mediterrenean thing. They water it down quite a bit too.
America is a melting pot. (AKA, we beat up other cultures and leaf through their pockets for spare traditions.) ---- But what I mean is that it could be a cultural difference between Britain and America. I know you're Greek, but then why wouldn't something happen in America if it can happen in Greece? I don't take whole glasses, I take small amounts. And I don't understand why you think it's impossible for a kid to like red wine.
Oi, how many pages does this wine talk go on for? There's a reason they're called wine tossers.
I used to be a wanker myself (or wanted to be), so I claimed to like wine, as did a large number of wankers in my class (I went to a wanker school). Mind you, I'm not going to claim that my palette was anywhere near refined enough to know anything except "this stuff tastes like acid". Now that I can actually tell how mellow or acidic something is and what ingredients it has in it with relative accuracy, I also know that I'm not that fond of wine and that I prefer beer. Except now I no longer drink because the way I dance at parties, it's far more fun if I'm perfectly sober. And...also I generally don't get the crowds that like to sniff wine. I'm not jiggy wit' it or tight or something.
This is why most of the grown-ups here are getting a bit tetchy at your remarks, alt. Not that I don't believe you (not that there would be any point to it). The urge to "overplay your age" tends to die off after a while, though, usually along with the realisation that you actually do know a lot more than you did, say, six-years ago.
After all, if you didn't, that would be pretty sad.

Really? It doesn't seem nearly as multicultural as Australia or the UK.
As a whole it seems quite distinctly segregated into white, black and everything in between (latino or asian) gets put in either the white or the black basket :\\

Either you guys are misspelling or I am misunderstanding something severely.

True, but there seems to be a bit of a tabboo in the US about drinking at a young age. The legal age is 21 for crying out loud! When I last went to the US, I was with a 35 year old who got asked for ID. There are many places in the world where people drink from a young age. The US isn't one of them.
As for the suggestion that the US is like Greece, most Greeks would probably be insulted.

Indeed. I'd have thought Australia and the UK have the same attitude to men of a young age claiming to drink wine. Ie. it's pretty much against man law.
