Drinking age is 19 in Ontario where I grew up, and 18 just across the border in Quebec. I didn't drink Strongbow until that year in Newfoundland. I was mostly a beer person when I first started drinking, well, beer and anything-with-vodka.
My parents let me have beer before I was 19 though, if I wanted. And I was never much of a party-person, so even when I was legal drinking age, I didn't go crazy. I was old going to university, so I was already legal drinking age - but I guess nowadays kids aren't. My older sister was only 17 when she went to uni, and she had a miserable time of it, because she WAS a party person, but wasn't old enough to party. My older sister was very much the more stereotypical teenager all around though. She still is.
