drinks

When I was a child, I thought that alcoholic beverages came in four distinct strengths, and were named accordingly. The four categories, in increasing order of strength were: Beer, wine, whisky, and liquor. Where I live, one has to go to "liquor stores" to buy any distilled spirits. One day I asked my father why one has to go to liquor stores to buy whisky. He then told me that whisky is a type of liquor. I was so disillusioned. I had always thought that wisky was a separate category, not as strong as liquor.

My step-dad used to tell my little sister, that the coke machines were ran by monkeys and when you put your money in the monkeys would throw the coke down. And the money helped to pay for peanuts for the monkeys.

When I was a kid I noticed that my Grandfather and my Uncles had crooked teeth and the thing they all had in common was that they drank beer. So I came to the conclusion that if you drink beer it will give you crooked teeth.

My aunt told me when I was little that the wavy heat coming from the road meant you were thirsty. For years when we were all in the car together, all of us kids would say “Look, I’m thirsty!” The adults would roar with laughter, and I never could figure out why. Till much later that is.

I used to believe that when you were an adult you were only allowed to take one sip of your drink at a time. I used to practice drinking just one sip while I watched my mom do the same thing.

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!

I Used to believe that if u drank a rootbeer float that u would actually float. I remember i was like 6 or 7 and my brother came home and told me him and my mom had went to A&W for a rootbeer float (He was teasing me) I was like WOW REALLY! Did u really float! I wanted a rootbeer float for about a year when i finally got one and was really disappointed I DIDNT FLOAT

When I was little, I used the think they sold licorice at the liqour store, so when my parents went to the liqor store, i would always ask to come to get licorice

Up until I was about 6 or 7, I used to think that, instead of entering the prize codes that I would find on my soda bottle caps on the internet, you were supposed to say the code out loud, and the prize would just apper in your hands. I never tried my theory, though, because I thought my parents would be mad, since I thought the prizes would cost money, and the money would dissapear.

I used to think that beer was horse pee. Probably because that's what my mom told me...
