    14, knacker drinking in a forest. Naggin of cherry vodka, 2 cans of bulmers and a bottle of Budweiser. Drunk for a week...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    13 I think. My sister had friends over and I robbed a few cans of Scrumby Jack. Plastered after about 2 cans. Done loads of stupid stuff. 20 years later its pretty much the same.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,573 ✭✭✭pajor


    When I was 16 at a girl in my year's 16th birthday party. I was already 16 for 5 months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭lukesmom


    I was 12 years old. Cans of carling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff

    Got juiced on wine the day I made my first holy communion.

    Put me right off white wine and religion ever since.

    I was 16. 2 cans of bulmers and I was hammered. Had the good sense to stop after 2 though so no puking or anything like that. Parents never found out either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Probably 9 or 10. Medicinal reasons though, gathering spuds in subzero temperatures requires poitin, and lots of it.


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    14. I partied like it was 1999 (which it was).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭BionicRasher


    2 1/2.
    Mother gave me what she thought was a nip of brandy in my bottle of milk as suggested by the grandmother to alleviate teething pain. However the nip she gave me was about the equivalent of a regular shot of brandy
    Was drunk for 2 days so they tell me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,058 ✭✭✭onrail


    A week before my 16th birthday an looked about 12.. God bless the Macra na Feirme!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    Under 10 anyway, I was partial to the odd shandy and my parents happily obliged to shut me up.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,208 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    16. Went down to the bridge house in tullamore for a macra gig. Great night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,219 ✭✭✭pablo128


    13, in Mosney. I had a holiday fling with a 14 yr old nordie young wan, and we swiped a bottle of pernod and a bottle of fizzy wine of some description from her folks chalet. Me, herself, 2 of my brothers and my mate all got drunk on them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    8, my Granny would let me drink her Whiskey always but at a party she got me locked.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 378 ✭✭Catphish


    Probably about 16. Copious amounts of cider, 20/20, suddy and reds. I greeted my parents cheerfully and politely excused myself while I go see to a little issue. Then I hurled my insides up into the kitchen sink, apologised then continued to engage in cheerful conversation with them. My Father thought it was the funniest thing he'd seen, while my Mother was less impressed. I always got on better with him :cool:

    15 or 16, it resulted in projectile vomiting. Still haven't learned when to stop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    15. Two bottles of Rolling Rock and I was falling home, not a clue what was wrong with me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,080 ✭✭✭McChubbin


    About 13-14 or so. It was around the time Pineapple Bacardi Breezers went on the market. I think that's why I have 10 dental cavities and I'm not even 30...

    19.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Pingi

    About 15 at a family friends daughters debs party. The dad kept handing me Bacardi Breezers when my mam wasn't looking. Every time she asked it was always 'Oh this is the same one'. She had to drag me home flootered after about 6 of the things. Ate the head off yer man next day.

    14

    During school lunchbreak I went to a friends house where we swiped vodka. I had it on the way back into school in my pot noodle pot (classy :o)

    Was told it was an eventful afternoon in classes :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Teenage drinking was always lots of fun. Some of the funniest times of my life. Worst part of it was lying down and everything starts spinning and then the puking would start.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    I was 15 (the Summer after Junior Cert) when I first got drunk. And man did we have a right, good laugh. Myself and a few friends, a rake of cans down by the river (Menlo castle on the other side :) ) and a belter of a day. We had the craic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 912 ✭✭✭chakotha


    12 or 13. Myself and my cousin necked a glassful of my folk's whisky each. After a half hour of hilarity she crashed out in my sisters bed and puked all over it then stumbled into my parents room and got sick all over that bed too. Myself and my sister got her into a wheelbarrow and were wheeling her into the bathroom to clean her up when my Mum got home. Surprisingly enough the **** wasn't too bad as my cousin's folks didn't go too ape.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭blaze1


    14 I think, White Lightening cider absoulte paint stripper, hammered on £1.50 thought :-)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    School friends starting going to a pub in a nearby town which had a habit of serving kids, when we were all 16. Consuming pints was hard going, then someone introduced me to peach schnaps. Shure t'was like OJ...... later on I lost motor functions and coherent speech. Thought I'd never come out of it! :D

    About 10 I think, drank Harveys Bristol Cream, was fine for a few minutes then started falling around the place.

    The old man put me to bed to sleep it off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 499 ✭✭greenflash


    8 or 9. I sneakily grabbed a couple of unfinished drinks from the table at a family Christmas do. Laughed for a while, fell up the stairs and was put to bed. Put me off drink until I was 14.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,192 ✭✭✭chrissb8


    15 at a house party had 4 cans. Was a great night. Night my junior cert finished. Wasn't plastered. Just tipsy. The naggins of vodka came about 3 or 4 months later. Many a night spent down in the woods drinking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 420 ✭✭Paulie Gualtieri


    I was 15 and 3/4 :p

    It was junior cert night and the drink of choice (cheapest sh1t we could get) was scrumpy jack golden @ £1.00

    After about 7 cans I was looooaded.

    Good times


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,059 ✭✭✭WilyCoyote


    Used to steal sips Celebration Cream (sherry) from the drinks cabinet before I was 10. Got drunk for the first time at 11. A bottle of stolen Altar Wine - drank in about half an hour. Sorry God!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    19. Was horribly sick throughout my late teens so didn't get drunk for the first time until after the leaving cert, my friend's 18th. His parents had basically given him an open tab at a local offie (and I'm pretty sure a shneaky arrangement with them that they'd keep supplying after closing time, they knew the people) ;)

    Good times :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭BionicRasher


    First real p1ss up was in a local place known as the Starlight Lounge. It was in the corner of a church carpark where there were no street lights and it was hidden from the main roads. We had a four or five 2 liters of Bulmers cider and shared them out between about 8 of us. We were 15 and it was the summer of our Inter Cert (for the youngsters here that's the Junior Cert)
    We walked out to a local castle ruins on the watersedge and I slipped on some seaweed I think.I don't remember much of the rest of the night. I got a massive bump on my forehead and had a major bout of the bedspins. It took some explaining to the parents the following day and I don't think they believed me at all but I didn't get into trouble for being langers the night before.
    Didn't learn my lesson until about 3 years ago!

    16 at my grandparents. cousins over from australia around my age give or take a year. Mother told me I could have one. I was okay with the one. But I had 2 and well I was suprising drunk with 2. A few months later I was knacker drinking with friends. I would often drink a shoulder of vodka or white rum and 2 cans of beer which left me absolutely wasted. No hangovers back then. Now all I need to do is smell the stuff to get a hangover.
    Getting old. :(
