9,drank lots of bottles of the alcopop Hooch that were lying about at my cousins christenng in some pub in Harolds Cross.Told my parents afterwards that I thought it was lemonade but I knew it wasn't.

Also got drunk at a 5th class disco on miniature bottles of vodka and red bull.

16. A litre of Devil's bit cider. Can't touch cider anymore!

St.Spodo

17. Cider, of course. I'd never touch the stuff now.

I think I was ten and robbed 4 cans from the fridge.
That would have been a once off really.
Then at 12 in 6th class we would have been drinking a bit. Only a few cans really during sleepovers. Still usually only about 4 cans.
At 14 I would have been drinking every weekend. A lot more during the summer. Probably drinking 6 cans and some vodka back then.
I enjoyed it at the time but looking back I wish I'd never touched it. Actually looking back it really was ****. What a waste of time.
Don't drink kids

Geomy

I was around 6 picked up the wrong drink knocked back a double vodka and mixer, fell over,still have the scars to prove it.
Under my right eye..

The first time I intentionally got streamed I was 16, gave up the hooch at 27
Now im 38 and still off it, don't miss it either.

15. Bottle of shitty wine because I'm classier than the rest of you cider-swilling cretins.

Probably 15. I actually don't remember. I remember my first sly drinks, one was a slug of whiskey in a mate's house that burned the ****e out of my insides, the second was 1.5 bullet cans of budweiser which basically had no effect. After that we used to have a 2/3 cans in a mate's house or in a field, we'd never be drunk, just tipsy really. I can remember the first time I got absolutely legless at 15. Drank ten cans on new year's eve when a mate's parents went away. Spent half the night puking in their jacks and had to go to bed when I got home at 6pm the next day.

Around 19/20. It was alright. Depends what you define drunk as though, I've never been totally scuttered.

I can only have been about 12 at most, but at my uncles art exhibition I decided, for some weird reason, to sneak behind the piano with the odd few glasses of white wine. I can vaguely remember being carried out after I'd been found passed out and then throwing up in the car. My parents disappointment was worse than any punishment would ever have been:(

I really don't know why I did it.

Boogietime

3 and a half y old, barely could speak... Woke up one morning, landscape contractors were around to do work, in my normal big mug of water was (every morning I drank from that) a ton of home-brewed brandy for the workers. Great stuff, I'd say... But strong too. Took a good mouth full and then ran to daddy telling him that the water burns for some reason.

Worried as he was, he immediately took me to the doc, she laughed and said that I'll just be merry for a couple of hours and then I'll sleep 'till it goes out of the system.

Ahh, good old happy romanian days...

At 12/13 me and a friend raiding the drinks cupboard while parents were out for the evening.

In an hour we necked a bottle of red between us and then started whiskey shots. All the while eating a big bowl of popcorn.

My friend puked before we fell into bed, I didn't.

Next morning I woke up and had a red sticky lumpy mess all down my front, in my hair, all over the bed. My friend started screaming as she thought I'd exploded or something.

Smell of whiskey off me for two days and haven't touched the stuff since.

In retrospect, it was pretty dangerous!

14 - 15 started drinking and continued...
17 - 20 - Fairly heavy drinking...
20 - 23 - Still drinking heavy enough lots of houseparties, constantly hung over.

Bodhran

Never.

Drank half a bottle of Alter Wine sitting in a field by the church when I was about 9. Could not stand up for ages and my trouser knees were all muddy from trying to get up.

Whiskey when I was 15 my vomit was black.


When my Dad found out he made me drink the rest of the bottle.

I was a little old when I started drinking, 16 I think. Most of my friends would have been around 13 when they started. I got loaded on 4 or 5 cans the first time I drank haha. Those were the days, cheap nights out!

looking_around

never got drunk

Jamsiek

I was 3 actually. I used to love Guinness in a little glass with sugar to sweeten it.
Anyway they lost count on how many they gave me due to them having too many also.
I fell asleep and when I finally woke I started falling about the place.
My uncle thought it was hilarious and took photos but my mum was livid to see her 3 year old kid so drunk

When I first had a tipple is around 16ish, but seriously got drunk at 18. I drank 75% of a big vodka bottle, though not neat

First taste of any booze was a trip with school to France. I was just under 13, walked into a supermarket with a bunch of school mates, proceeded and purchased a bottle of wine, I thought I was the dogs bollox.. We drank the bottle that nite, and spend the following day vomiting on the bus.

Ahhh the good old times. Now its just a bottle of wine at the weekend

Got a little bit drunk at an uncle's wedding at 16. Got properly hammered on a naggin of vodka outside of a gig in town at 17. Always thought it better than getting a few cans because you can hide the naggin easier if the police arrive.

First time i got drunk was when I was 14, first time i got properly drunk was at christmas when i was 15. It was the first time all of my extended family had seen me drinking so they were all buying me drinks, they thought vodka and a mixer would be good to 'start me off' first 3 were fine until they started asking my cousin to buy them for me, he thought it would be hilarious to start getting doubles for me. It was hilarious but after a decent few of them I was the most drunk person in ireland at that time and got sick. A lot. It was only a few years ago now so I still cringe thinking about it. First proper experience of the fear was when I was 15, I spent the whole day remembering things and buying my head into my hands trying to forget about it.

Aren't we a great example to the youth of today, every one of us pissed out of our heads before we hit puberty? I'm off to sef-flaggellate myself in shame.
