What age were you when you first got served alcohol in a pub?

I was 13, it was at a festival in a small village in Roscommon. Got asked what age I was at the bar and said I was 19. I probably looked about 15. Your one smiled at me and obviously knew well, but served me anyway. This would have been 1998. I don't think it'd happen now, even in the same pub!

A pint of Bud I think it was. Had a few that day too, it's mental when I think about it now, I wasn't even shaving at the time.

15 years old at a house party down the road celebrating the Junior Cert ending. 3 cans and I was drunk.

I'd say I'd have been 16 and it was quite easy to get into and served in a few pubs at the time. That would have been the summer of 2002. Then Micheal McDowell was minister of Justice and brought in the rule that 16 year olds weren't allowed in pubs after 9pm and places got really strict on it, so we started to have huge trouble getting into any pub. The funny thing was though, when we were 16 you'd have a table of 8 people with 2 lads on it getting served. So they'd be ordering faster than they were drinking and you'd have about 4 lads drinking at the table. It was very safe really. The next summer we couldn't do that so instead we hit the beach or similar places with a slab of cans and got sh1tfaced. It was kind of an out of site out of mind solution to the problem in my view.

Now that I'm an adult though I'm happy enough to have those teenagers out of site. If they could raise the drinking age to 21 that would be great actually.

16. It took me about 3 hrs to drink 2 pints. It was the thrill of it rather than the drink itself.

15,in Manchester.Never once asked for id as i don't think that was even a thing in 1982.
Being 6ft 2 at 15 helped.

14 , week before turning 15, the fact at 24 now I still look pretty much the same probably helped

I think it was 15. I know looked older, green as grass tho.

I was 12 but about 4 weeks away from my 13th birthday in the early 90s. I was close to 6ft tall already at that stage though and never had trouble getting served in later years either.

God when I think that my daughter is close to that age now it's scary!

15, the old White Horse pub, now called the Dark Horse I think.

15, don't know how I got served. Was in a nightclub so probably didn't take any notice of me. Having said that I puked about 2 times that night. Downed a fat frog and think was my first time drinking tequila. Fun times

15 back in the 80s,five pints of Smithwicks, threw up in the lane outside, haven't touched it since, Smithwicks that isðŸ˜
