When should a young adult move away from their parents? (high school refers to public, private, or homeschool education)

when they become a legal adult (age 18) and finish high school, whichever happens later
in their late teens/early 20s, when they finish school, whether high school or higher ed., and begin working
whenever they become totally financially independent, even if it takes several years after finishing school
no matter their higher education/employment circumstances, they should be on their own by their mid- to late-twenties
they don't ever *have* to

I'm not sure if having one little taste really counts or not, so I haven't voted yet.  It was back in 2012, and my dad and I were at his aunt's house in New Zealand.  She had a bottle of sparkling strawberry juice, and it smelled really good but tasted horrible.

That's what mine was, and I counted that. I suppose it's up to you.

My findings with alcohol:

Bailey's: Disgusting.
Cider: Nice but has a weird aftertaste - may have just been because it was cheap.
Beer: What I've had was awful, but all beers are different so...
Wine: Tastes bad.
Champagne: Unoffensive, but I really don't get what the big deal is.
Whiskey: Smells so bad I'm never going to drink it.
Rum&Coke: Blech.
Pepsi with Vodka: Just tastes like Pepsi, though I imagine there are stronger mixes, whereas the one I had was weak.

Guess I'm just not an alcohol person.

Dont go to Belize, Jet.
They like rum in Belize.

Hmm, okay.  I voted.

I've had alcohol chocolate with brandy, but that doesn't really could as a proper drink.

Sparkling doesn't always mean it was alcoholic, but if it was, then it counts.

Yeah, it was alcoholic.

On a completely random note, non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice is pretty good. XP

Yes it is! Non-alcoholic sparkling limeade is one of my favourites as well. Sparkling Limeade is a username I use on one of the Wikis I edit. :D

My findings with alcohol:

Cider: Delicious.
Beer: What I've had was awful, but all beers are different so...
Rum: Also pretty good, but only in small amounts. Good in deserts as well.

I've had maybe 5 sips of alcoholic drinks. Once beer, once sherry, once Chardonnay, twice Sangria. I didn't like the sangria, but the other stuff wasn't bad. But I've never had a full drink.

I tasted some cheap booze my grandpa had, and it wasn't too bad.

What I'm wondering is why everyone's giving their -10 kids alcohol.
