That really doesn't concern you. How dare you ask a stranger about such personal details on an online forum.

My granaunt gave me a small drop of Baileys when I was 12. I use to take a sip here and there but didn't really start drinking til I was 18. Don't really have much interest in it now, was never a big thing for me.... :-/

Edit: Which option to I pick?

Had first taste drink prob bout 12 or 13 year old.
But when I was 16 and on holidays with my parents my dad told me to grab a bear from fridge and have a drink with him on the balcony.
Told me the way to treat drink as to not abuse it or take the pi55 with it.
Appreciate it a lot more because had me first drink with me dad instead of sitting in a poxy field with me mates and drinking Dutch.

Powers Whiskey?

Nah, bit early for me.

13/14 I started slowly.

I remember an older friend asking me could I hold much, meaning in what quantity could I drink, I thought he ment in what I could carry, so I said about three six packs,18 bottles. He was impressed...

Well spotted sir. I don't know what I'd do without people like you on the internet to point out the obvious at any opportunity.

Lando Griffin

I had a few mouthfulls of Guinness when we were out making hay I was around 6 then. Really kicked off when I was 15 because my older brother who is 3 years olderwas out the whole time so I looked older never had any bother getting served.
I have drank most weekends without fail since and for 15 years or so most Monday, and Thursday nights and maybe a few cans on the other nights if I didnt wander out.
Found out a month ago that my brother who I looked up to didnt drink until he was 24, the ba5t@r0

You are very welcome. Nice to know that I have been if assistance.

Maphisto

When I was 15, I got a Saturday job in a shop. It paid £2.50 for the day!

For that you could get a pack of smokes and 5 or 6 pints of Light and Bitter (Light and Bitter was good - it always felt like you knew what you were talking about) and then maybe a kebab on the way home.

Happy Days

larrlin24

Drank for the first time when I was 14, but got drunk for the first time when I was 15 going on 16. Went crazy drinking nearly every weekend until I was about 19 and now at 22 I haven't drank in nearly two years. Not really interested in it any more.

Well I **** myself the first time i got langered - does that count?

HomelessMidge

I was 12 the first time getting drunk.
Then when I was 13 it was the odd time like Easter and such.
I'd say at 14 I was drinking at least 2 to 3 times a month.
15 I started smoking hash and would have been drinking most weekends.
16 I was doing different drugs and drinking almost every weekend.
17 I kinda calmed down and just smoked weed and drank the odd weekend, maybe once a month.
I'm 22 now and haven't drank since new years.

Maleficent

Experimented at 14. Still do.

OP, cough up the personal info or the thread and the pretty poll gets it.

At least there were no bears in the fields, your dad sounds pretty irresponsible, keeping wildlife in the fridge

josip

Kept the pledge until 3 days shy of my 18th birthday I decided it would be rebellious to break it with 3 pints of Smithwicks in Madigans of Rathmines

hynesie08

First sip-8, my aunt thought it would be funny to give me a sip of her Malibu and pineapple, took a sip and puked in the glass.

First drink-11, same aunt (bitch). Came into Dan Lowries in mosney parched, she handed me a smithwicks shandy, downed it in one.

First time drunk. 15 at a gaffe party. No real story there.

Highlight of it all is still walking into a pub with my granddad the day after my 18th and having my first legal drink with him.

Started proper drinking at 17!

Side note, some of ye are really bitchy on this. Relax the flaps lads.

Sam Kade

Around 4 :eek: myself and my siblings decided it would be a good idea to try some whiskey :eek: luckily enough the mother caught us before we drank too much After that about 7 or 8 tasted Guinness. Started drinking pints around 17 didn't try pints of Guinness until 23 and didn't look back.

Sir Arthur Daley

Early teenage years, my neighbour started after his holy communion.

Reiketsu

When I was 14 my parents let me drink in the house. At the same age I used to go to a friends and be honest about the fact I was going to be having a few drinks. My parents were okay about it because I never came home really steaming and I never lied about where I was or what I was doing.

13. In Mosney. We swiped the drink, a full bottle of Pernod and a few bottles of sparkling table wine, from a nordie birds chalet.
Me, her, and my mate and 2 brothers all got hammered.

MJ23

12. Me and 2 mates used to chip in for a flagon of Old Somerset and a couple of cans of Scrumpy Jack. My brother's mate would get them for us, and we'd drink them down in my shed on a Saturday afternoon.
Good old times.

17. I spent a year or two of doing a decent amount of drinking, but the novelty has worn off.

I'd enjoy a cold cider with dinner, but few and far between.

AlanS181824

Drank Baileys when I was 3 or 4, asked for milk and my incompetent father decided to give me Baileys.

But I don't drink now nor smoke.

WilyCoyote

Started on Celebration Cream when I was about 8. Moved on to Alter wine as an Alter boy and G&Ts in my late teens. Now mostly Burgundy, Merlot, Brandy or White Rum based cocktails.

Shane-KornSpace

When I was 14.
Drank half a bottle of cheapo red wine up in Tick-Knock on the Wicklow Mountains.
Every couple of weeks after that, I'd be at a house party getting locked on four cans of Budweiser

15, vodka or cider. All went downhill from there.
