When I was little, I used to think that if you drank beer you would die right after you drank it.

I'm so stupid

When I was little I had a sippy cup that when I sucked on it too hard, the little air hole in it would go "Squeeeeeeee!"

I, for the longest time, thought that there was a little girl in there screaming because she didn't want me to suck her up!

Scary Dream

When my daughter was very young, (3 or 4 years old), she overheard her Father and I talking about a friend of ours and I said, "Well, you know, he doesn't drink!" My daughter wondered for many years after, how this person could live without ever drinking!

As I child I always waited for the fizz to go down in my soft drinks before drinking them. But one day, in a fit of curiosity and bravery, I decided to drink my Coke sooner--only to find the bubbles never did go down, and the soda tasted funny too. For years I believed having the bubbles get stuck in the glass was the natural consequence of drinking your soda too soon, and was pretty close to adulthood when I realized I'd just gotten a soapy glass that day!

I was about 8 years old. We were visiting my grandma and her boyfriend. I overheard him say to my dad that he had not had a drink in over 10 years. I thought he meant that he hadn't had anything to drink at all!! I thought "wow, I would be so thirsty!"

When I was a toddler, my dad told me that I would have to sit down to drink my juice. Up until I was about 5, I thought that the real name for apple juice was "sit-down juice".

I used to think that beverage was a word for alcholic drinks. I woudn't go to the beverage section of a gas station, because all those drinks were bad. I also thought that ginger ale was alcholoic, and almost had a fit when my grandmother offered me some.

I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time. My Uncle Charlie used to drink sometimes. One night he came home and was drinking orange juice. I loved orange juice. Anyway, he was drinking a lot of it and then he started acting really funny. He sat on the stove and fell off. It scared me so bad that for years and years I refused to drink orange juice because I didn't want to be funny like Uncle Charlie and fall off of stoves. I didn't know at the time that he had doctored it with some kind of alcohol. I was finally a teenager before I tried drinking orange juice again. And to this day every time I drink it I think of my uncle falling off the stove.

When I was little I would get a drink of soda from the fridge, and my dad would remind me to be sure I put the cap back on the soda or it will go flat. One day I put the cap on the soda bottle very lose. then I would check the sode every hour or so to see if the cap itself would go flat.

I used to think that Root Beer was beer with less calories

I used to believe that I only went pee after I drank apple juice. I would have to go to the bathroom and be confused all day because I didn't drink apple juice.

When I was a kid and our family would go to fast food restaurants, my sister would often get up from the table with her cup and say, “I’m going to get Dr. Pepper.” When she came back alone I assumed that Dr. Pepper (a doctor, of course) was busy taking children’s temperatures. After this happened a few times, I began to wonder if Dr. Pepper would ever come by to meet us. He didn’t.

I used to believe that if you swallowed wine or beer in two sips then you would get drunk

Up until 5th grade I thought that Root Beer was really beer. It made sense to me. My parents never ordered it at restaurants so I figured that it was so they didn't set a bad example.

Now that I know the truth-I love root beer

I used to believe that root beer was alcoholic. I believed this until my brother offered me a root beer flavored lolipop. It became one of my favorite drinks.

When he was little, my brother thought that it would hurt to drink beer because he was sure that was what made beards grow. Obviously, it would would hurt to have hair grow out your face.

Whenever my family took road trip vacations I used to believe that the bottles of yellow liquid on the side of the interstate were half drank containers of apple juice.

It was only much later that I figured out they were depositories of urine from lazy truckers.

I used to believe that drink driving was drinking and driving at the same time and so my mum was shocked when she started to drink a milkshake and i screamed at her that she was going to get caught by the cops.
