    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.

    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.

    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

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

    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.

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