How old were you when you had your first proper drink? Where were you and what did you have?

Im not talking about getting a sip of your auld fellas pint when you were 7 btw.

Mine was a pint of carlsberg in a pub with 2 of my mates after a football match. I think I was 16

4 bottles of Budweiser at my friends house when I was 15. I was locked afterwards

What made you pick Carlsberg?

I was 15 few cans of Carling while on a fishing/camping trip followed by brandy that night....we had a few close calls throughout the night throwing petrol on the bonfire, not easy to do when you're pished

Went to SLF's "first" comeback tour.

Special brew and that red French sh1t liquor whose name is lost in my head. [edit-remembered Pernod]

Alcohol is the devil drink. This thread only promotes drinking amongst the underage.

You're not the only one to be caught out by this one! yep mine was vodka also due to the age old myth that you cant smell it!( I learned from my mother later that evening when I got home that it was indeed a myth!!!) Think I was a year older and 13.

when did you have your first drink?

Mickeroo · 31-07-2011 9:21pm

I was 16, got langers on 2 or 3 cans of bulmers at a 21st. Broke my confirmation pledge that night.

FloatingVoter · 31-07-2011 9:22pm

Bummed a hipflask off a nurse when I was in my incubator. Jameson I think but its all hazy.

xzanti · 31-07-2011 9:22pm

First proper pint at 15 but I was drinking half empty cans that were thrown around the street and in wheelie-bins since I was like 9.

BBDBB · 31-07-2011 9:27pm

Aged 3

Christmas Morning, parents came down to fiind me running around the living room like a lunatic, giggling and falling over, apparently I had drained every glass and can left over from the night before and was legless, I slept it off and was none the worse.

mjcom4d · 31-07-2011 9:27pm

When I was 8 I tested the power of vodka never touched it again for 7 years and when I was 12 or 13 at a relations anniversary had a few cans of ale and still on it 3 years later

Chuck Stone · 31-07-2011 9:36pm

Got smashed on a bottle of sparkling wine.

Loved the buzz it gave me.

4ndroid · 31-07-2011 9:38pm

Drinking jameson and southern comfort with mates in a hut in a field. Was 14. Legless by the end of it. Ma grounded me for ages when I got caught.

Simon Adebisi · 31-07-2011 9:39pm

15. Old style bottle of guinness in a pub in Mitchellstown on a stop off during a school tour. It was foul.

Crazy Horse 6 · 31-07-2011 9:46pm

15 years old 1988 2 bottles of Ritz. Yuck.

SarahBeep! · 31-07-2011 9:48pm

YoureSoVain · 31-07-2011 9:49pm

20

Liam Byrne · 31-07-2011 9:50pm

18, as per the law.

Can't remember what it was - maybe a Carling - but then alcohol has never been a fixation for me like it unfortunately seems to be for a lot of Irish people.

It exists and I can take it or leave it.

daniels.ducks · 31-07-2011 9:54pm

16 in the Big Tree, Dublin. Before the Tipp-Waterford match. Pint of bulmers.

CL32 · 31-07-2011 9:57pm

Can't remember what age but very young. Too young to be babysitting my sister but thats what I was doing. Got a mate down to my three-hour-free-gaff-bonanza and we raided my parents drinks cabinet.

They weren't big drinkers but liked to have a bit of everything so any requests could be taken care of.

We tried Gin: Foul. Vodka: Jesus it burns. Whiskey: What is this I don't even.. Bols: Wat? Sheridans: Black bit is foul but I could get used to the white bit. Baileys: Nah mate my ma drinks it. Then, before all the little sips of the others could hit, we found Malibu. It didn't taste like booze, and the back of the bottle recommended mixing half and half with milk for a refreshing drink, so thats what we did.

Spent the rest of the night outside my house with mugs full of Malibu and milk being laughed at/scolded by neighbours till my mam and dad came home.

Ban. I'm kiding ffs

EuropeanSon · 31-07-2011 10:06pm

7. Drank a full glass of Bacardi. Not pleasant.

Apart from that, 16, at a music festival. Massive amounts of beer, cider, weed and

alcopops. Quite the baptism of fire.

FootShooter · 31-07-2011 10:07pm

Me and a mate at age 14-15 drank a bottle of whiskey that we found in his parents liquor cabinet. The awning below the second floor window did not look pretty the morning after.

MsJenjers · 31-07-2011 10:09pm

16 at an older friend's house. Got locked on vodka in coke.

Leeg17 · 31-07-2011 10:11pm

Can of Bulmers a week short of 17, not bothered about drinking most weeks

Finical · 31-07-2011 10:14pm

18. Pint of Smithwick's

Have yet to drink that again.

Pherekydes · 31-07-2011 10:17pm

18. I was on summer camp and I had scotch and red in the Dolphin.

Icyseanfitz · 31-07-2011 10:21pm

must have been 16 or 17 cant even remember

its funny how it was so much craic back then though, im 22 now and i really cant be bothered with the s*** anymore unless its a wedding or something

LETHAL LADY · 31-07-2011 10:28pm

I was 13. I walked into a pub asked for a large bottle of bulmers and expected to be told to f**k off but I got served. Stood at the bar for about a minute letting on I was going to sit down and drink it, then panic set in and I grabbed the bottle and ran out the door.

starlit · 31-07-2011 10:29pm

I had a taster at 10 but was 15 or 17 before I had my first drink but a proper drink I was 18 really.

Temptamperu · 31-07-2011 10:33pm

A few mates and I stole half a bottle of potin on a friends dad, needless to say we where all hammered and spent the day rolling around a feild we where about 11 or 12.

Creature · 31-07-2011 10:33pm

I started late, 17 or 18 I think. In a pub for the birthday of someone in my class and it was Smithwicks, which I still drink now. The start of a beautiful relationship.

df1985 · 31-07-2011 10:37pm

3 pints of cider when I was 14, at a 21st and my neighbour sneaked them over to me as I sat in a corner. I was ****faced and left with baloons tied to me!

AudreyHepburn · 31-07-2011 10:42pm

Bacardi Breezer on my 18th. I may have tried the odd sip of wine here and there before but I was never interested in drinking as a teen and am still fairly light on it now.

watna · 31-07-2011 10:54pm

15 I think - my mum used to buy me bacardi breezers and I'd have one or two at home with her watching a film or something.

The first time I was drunk was on Tequila and I was 16 - I necked it from the bottle

I woke up the next day feeling completely normal. If I did that now I'd have my head in the toilet all of the next day. I didn't drink a huge amount before I was 18 (apart from that tequila night) - most nights where everyone else was drinking I'd be the sober one looking after them (there was a memorable night when the girls had gin for the first time, there was a lot of crying!)

ziggy23 · 31-07-2011 11:23pm

I was 13 and got locked on a bottle of Thunderbirds..vile stuff
