As a teenager, Michael never tasted alcohol

[Bassim]

I am wondering if my sentences are grammatically correct.

As a teenager, Michael never tasted alcohol, but when he landed a job at a construction company, he got into a habit of drinking with his colleagues. Before long, he turned into an alcoholic.

See above. I'd probably say "Before long, he was an alcoholic" at the end.

'Tasted' is okay, but I think something like 'touched' is probably a bit more natural.
