Your Dad was Duffman? Ohhhh yeeeeaaaaaah!

I started drinking in a pub. So, not really unusual there.

SoupyNorman

In a field. The older lads in the estate used to give us the dregs of their Fosters cans if they were in a good mood. Was about 11.

Boxoffrogs

In an ex boyfriend's house. Cans of Ritz which is something I haven't touched since. I'm not even sure if it's available anymore.

I've been told it was in the Rotunda Hospital and it was breast milk.

Got a sip of wine at home when I was a kid of 6 or 7 at home on Christmas day I think.

Thought it was revolting. Opinions on it have changed somewhat since then ...

minidazzler

A Hotel room in Paris when I was 17.

I remember the day, the germans wore grey, and you wore blue.

Was with a youth group. Fun times.

Auld lad bought me 2 bottles of beer on a paddy's day when i was 16, he said it was better to have me drinking with him so i wouldn't be out gettin in trouble and drinking to much and being sick.

Dead right to, if more auld lads were like him we wouldn't have so many feckin idiot kids gettin so messed up on booze all the time

Oh,actually that post just reminded me!
I was about 6 or so and got up one morning, downed what i thought was just a bottle of 7 up in one go, but turned out there was plenty of vodka in it too, which had been left over from the night before.
I fell into the open dishwasher, which is were my parents found me when they got up

I'd forgotten bout that!

Coriolanus

Cans in a field before going to a dishko to celebrate finishing the Juniour. That was the first "proper" drink, I'd tasted it before when the parents or people over were drinking of course.

kev9100

The first time I drank was on a French Exchange. I was only 15 and it was whiskey:D. Sweet Christ my head hurt the next day.

BluesBerry

It was at a teenage disco up in the boys secondary school, we went to the fields behind the school Old English cans and a naggin of huzzar vodka ,we went in to the disco steaming drunk got caught and parents had to be called

Kasabian

I distinctly remember taking a sip of whiskey from a bottle here at home when i was 3 or possibly 4. gawd that stuff tasted vile.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

A sip of Carlsberg in a pub was my first, I was about 5. I went and puked me ring up in the toilet, still can't drink Carlsberg.:(

First out with the lads was Bulmers.

First time drunk was vodka and Bulmers.

Pauleta

My ma let me have a shandy when i was 11

I remember you used to be able to get cans of shandy bass from Tesco/Crazy Prices. It was 0.5% and i think anyone could buy it.

entropi

First one was in a club early last year, a bottle of Corona :pac:

ANXIOUS

First drink was a pint of cider down in Curracloe Wexford. I think I was 18 and a bit, I actually felt tipsey after it. I was with my friend and his dad.

karlog

Bulmers because it tasted like cidona. Now it tastes like ****.

GirlOfGlass

At my friends first house party. I drank a litre of Fat Frog.
The whole thing was a disaster.

ElaElaElano

Ah, memories.

Was 12, the summer before first year and a group of us (little cúnts every last one) planned to go into town on the lock, so I got together £20, fished outside the offy for ages and eventually someone came along, he asked what I wanted, I didn't have a clue- so said get whatever. He comes out with some diabolical dishwater white wine, and says it cost £20. Thought nothing of it.

Anyway, got to town only to find everyone else decided not to drink, they chickened out. fúck them I thought, and downed the whole bottle there and then. Puked in Stephens' green, puked on the O'Connell bridge, puked in Grafton Street, puked all over an old man on the bus. Fell in the door, stinking of wine and puke and probably píss, the aul one's standing there- 'what in the bejaysisssss', I fell flat out on the carpet and went 'had a pizza don't feel well' and then puked the rest of the bottle all over the carpet and the furniture.

Didn't see the light of day for the rest of the summer. Good times.

AshSmith

I was 15, there was a new girl in school who was 16 and in my class we became friends, i started drinking naggins straight for a year or so once a week or so! A few people are shocked that i didnt start drinking by a sip of wine or beer at dinner with the fam!

bnt

My first experiences with drink came when I was about 16 and trying to learn snooker in a local mining club. This was in South Africa, where they weren't too careful about age, but it paid to drink slowly and carefully, because snooker is hard enough when you're sober ... :cool:

storm2811

When I was about 9 I snuck a sip of barcardi.
After that I was 12 and brought a few cans out to my friend's hay shed on halloween and it's all gone downhill from there.:pac:

Ruu_Old

No non drinkers option? Atari club orange? :mad:

Rubik.

A friend aquired a bottle of Malibu, which we polished off between the 2 of us. I haven't been able to look at a bounty bar since.

rannerap

mine was when i was with my dad on holidays in spain,i was about 15 or 16,he kept buying me bacardi watermelon flavour or some crap,woke up and got sick in the middle of the night and it was bright red like the drinks,i thought it was blood

julyjane

I was 14, it was a bottle of Mugshot - between 3 of us. Pissed we were, absolutely smashed, or so we liked to think

Minstrel27

Sparkling cider in a field when I was 12. Living the good life back then I was.

jd007

Vodka and red bull when I was 16.

x in the city

michelob...

Mars Bar

It was my 18th, in a pub with my parents.

I chose pub/club in the poll.

My Da, when i was around 15 he'd always offer me a Miller with my dinner. Maybe another 1 or 2 after. He wasn't an alcoholic btw, tbf i'm happy i started with him, i hate the young ones who start off in the fields, getting way to drunk, breaking things etc and causing a load of hassle.

blueyedson

In a field, 2 cans of cider ,got someone to get them the day before and had them stashed away for the occasion.

12 i think we were ,great owl crack, (apart from the puking over a wall) the 1st couple of years drinking usually had a puke thrown in somewhere ,thankfully that stopped soon after.

Xavi6

Mine was whiskey aged 14 in 1999 down the back of the cinema during The Talented Mister Ripley.

I needed it to get through that steaming pile of sh*te.

we'llallhavetea_old

sipped my parents drink as a kid.

i remember the first time i got hammered, twas in a field, "Devil's Pit" cider, not even a half a flagon and i was gee-eyed. i remember being on my hands and knees in the field and blowing the hole off myself in front of all the lads.. there was some scatterin match..

Flutt's gonna be in here within ten minutes asking for elaboration, I guarantee it.

ScumLord

I became a pioneer in national school. The day after I joined the club I found a can of Heineken behind the priests house. I reckon it was a sign from satan, a sign I took full heed of. I drank that can of Heineken right down right there and then. My life has been a slippery slope of debauchery ever since.
