i was 13...i had my first swig of zima at a christmas party...after the party, my brother, his gf and i played "drinking games" with shots of tequila. when i learned shooting tequila wasn't delicious, my brother gave me a chaser of pepsi and tequila. mostly tequila. i didn't feel well afterward and tequila was scary for about 10 years. i love tequila now, though.
I think I got drunk when I was little, like 9 or 10, off some champagne my dad gave me. ;D He didn't give me much, less than 6 oz, but I weighed less than a feather. I voted for the 16 range though as I know it happened for sure on some wine night s with my sister and her friends. I'm also really strict on what I consider myself as "drunk" versus "tipsy" or "buzzed". I don't tend to think of it as drunk unless I feel noticeably impaired. (But don't worry, I avoid driving if I feel remotely tipsy or buzzed.)

I was either 13 or 14. I went to visit my friends in Germany and they threw me a birthday party. My friends parents left the house and bought us a bunch of booze. I love to remind them of this when they make comments about how American college students drink too much lol.
The closest I've gotten is feeling really tipsy. This was after we got married hanging out with a bunch of friends. Before I got married I'd have to drive myself home so I'd never have more than 1 drink.
