Personality on the radio: Maina Kageni claims he had his first drink at the age of 14.
He presented his experience based on a recent NACADA research.
According to the report, 46 percent of Kenyans aged 15 to 65 consume alcohol.
According to the same survey, 8% of children aged 10 to 14 drink alcohol at least once.
"I was 14 when I had my first sip of alcohol. It is nothing to be proud of.
Did you read this?
It will be an uphill task because it is part of our sherehe. There are weeks I drink from Monday to Monday and weeks I can't.
I do not see it as a problem because I can handle my alcohol. We assume it is a problem when we can't handle alcohol.
I have alcohol in the house, but I live alone.
Is this a battle we can win? The collateral damage is our children, and it's a big problem."
Mwaimu King'ang'i was worried at how casually parents were taking the issue.
"Back in high school, we would be killed for smoking weed, but it's a nonissue right now. If we continue like this, a church might have a smoking zone.
We never saw our parents drinking, but kids now see their parents drinking.
Fathers just stopped going to church."
