Yep. It wasn’t immediately usable for me. It was always taken before I could do anything with it. 

I can relate to this. Pretty much any money my brother or I'd gain either went back into utilities or food. I remember filling out the paper work to get free lunches at school when we were little. My dad found out beat us, told the school he made enough money and to punish us for being leeches and trying to get free meals. Then called me and my brother nothing but sponges that take and take. He still brings up money he spent raising us, I'm half surprised he didn't get receipts notarized. There were times when we were broke, mostly after my grandma died and dad had to pay for her funeral and hospital bills. Though other than that he just didn't like spending or giving money.

Beer, always drank just whisky as a kid. Now I'm fine with beer unless it's light beer. 

That's weird. When I tell people the first time I got drunk at 16 years old was on whiskey, they're always like, "No wonder you don't drink. Whiskey's a horrible drink to start with. You got to work up to it. Should've started with beer."

By the way, I don't drink, even in my mid 30s.

Beer always tasted weird to me, even now I only actually enjoy stout beer which many people aren't large fans of; and it's like 3-4x more expensive than domestic brands, so I don't usually drink beer. However I've always liked whisky. My parents and grandparents always gave us whisky for pretty much everything from teething to sore throats and fevers. Tea with jack and honey was always something I remember drinking on cold days as a kid at my grandmas.  I also have some sort of odd genetics at play where it takes a lot more alcohol to affect me. I rarely go to the bar anymore other than social reasons, because it's just too expensive to not get a buzz. The one bar near me though has really good Rubens. The amount of meat and stuff that goes on them is really cheaper than buying the stuff to make them at the store. I assume they do that on the assumption that they'll make it up in alcohol sales, though you get like a 2lb sandwich and a 1lb of fries for $8. I can't even get a pound of corned beef for that at the store unless it's on sale.
