When I was about 6 I overheard an elderly aunt say to my grandmother "Jo, I've decided to stop drinking!".

This puzzled me and I inquired, "But won't you get thirsty?!"

i used to believe that black coffee would make black hair grow on my chest. i got this from a cousin who said that's what happened to one of our aunts who had a little extra facial hair!

I used to believe that a drinking problem actually was when you had a problem getting the drink to your mouth-- like they showed on "Airplane"

When I was about 6, my mom told me that if I drank too much water, I will have frogs in my stomach.And every time my stomach was making weird noises(for example-when I was hungry) I was convinced that the frogs were making those noises.

My mum told me that if you put too much concentrate in the glass for orange squash then I would get worms. Funnily enough i drink weak squash, and get laughed at by my friends.

I used to believe that drinking lager gave you a moustache. This came about when I saw 2 pics of my dad. In the first he had a pint glass to his mouth and in the second he'd put it down and was smiling drunkenly at the camera. He had a small moustache in the photos, but at the time I saw them he was clean shaven, hence my belief that the drinking of the lager (where I couldn't see the moustache) gave him the moustache in the second photo.

When having wine with dinner my parents gave me "wine of the earth". This was water but I couldn't believe we were being allowed alcohol!
