Radio Personality Maina Kageni says he took his first sip of alcohol at age 14.

He shared his experience based on a recent study by NACADA.

According to the study 46 percent of Kenyans aged between 15 and 65 currently use alcohol.

The same study found that 8% of children aged 10 to 14 years have used alcohol at least once in the past.

"I was 14 when I had my first sip of alcohol. It is nothing to be proud of.

It is gonna be an uphill task because it is part of our sherehe. There are weeks I drink from Monday to Monday there are weeks I can't.

I do not see it as a problem because I feel I can handle my alcohol. The problem is we assume it is a problem when we cant 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 are taking the issue.

"Back in high school we would be killed for smoking weed, but right now  a non issue. If we continue like this there might be a smoking zone in church.

We never saw our parents drinking but right now kids see their parents drinking.

Fathers stopped going to church."
