I was thirteen or so years old and it was a beer that I truly will never forget. My “friends” had gone to a local convenient store to buy items such as beer even though they were not of age. At this point in my life I had never had any alcoholic beverages except for my bris and I don’t remember the taste. After they left the convenience store one of my “friends” gave me a beer to try but as soon as I opened it up a bright red flashing light appeared before my eyes. While my friends scattered like rats my legs were glued to the concrete as the officer approached. I was put in the back of the car as my friends pushed the culprit who supplied me the beer to the police car as well. The police officer took us for one of the longest rides of our lives even though it was only 10 minutes. I learned two lessons from this incident one never buy cheap beer and to look both ways before drinking.
