When I was eight my family went to this BIG party at another family's house. They had these racks of pop/soda that were kind of big bottles to me at the time...probably 16 oz. Many flavors and my favorite was root beer. I was stupid enough to drink two bottles which was enough to make me puke.

Yes, at 8 I went to a house party, drank too much root beer and puked. I cannot imagine what others at the party thought of that.
You would think I had learned my lesson but I did the same thing at the same house party the next year.

All of which was just practice for drinking actual beer in college...and beyond.
I did finally learn my lesson in my 40s and stopped drinking alcohol. And root beer.
