Is it too early to start drinking?

[A Theist]

My grandmother and her neighbor used to share morning coffee with a shot of Jack Daniels in it. I would come down stairs and go into the kitchen where they were at and I could smell the whiskey. They'd be talking and laughing and I'd ask my grandmother, "Hey Grandma, whaddya got in that coffee?" And she was like, "Don't you never mind what's in that coffee!" And her neighbor, Florence, would jump in, "It's medicine!" Then I'd tell my grandmother I was feeling sick and could I have some coffee with medicine in it. Then she'd tell me, "No you can't!" So I would say, at least by the earliest legal drinking age.
