I don't remember my first drink.

Usually when someone tell their story they mention their first drink. I don't remember mine. What I do remember is paregoric. The taste sort of reminded me of Root Beer. The effects were wonderful. I got all tingley and felt pretty. It was an over the counter remedy for diarrhea and upset stomach. I had a lot of upset stomachs after that first time. I think Mom finally realized what was going on with me and stopped giving me the medicine. Wow, my first drug. Who would a thought?
