What age did you have your first drink at and what was it?

dricko_lim · 09-08-2012 09:17AM

glass of west coast cooler when I was 7 before I went to school. Told my mother it was 7up and she got a phone call that morning from the school asking was I up late as I was asleep all morning!:D

sebastianlieken · 09-08-2012 09:17AM

I was about 11 or so, dad gave me a glass of his guinness while we were outside plucking/gutting a pheasant.

ARGHHH.... MANLY NOISES!!!

Duggy747 · 09-08-2012 09:39AM

Was about 8 or 9, we were having some do at our house and someone left an open can of Budweiser on the table out in the kitchen.

Had a sneaky few gulps, tasted like I was drinking sweat

A glass of Smithwicks shandy, I was probably 7.

09-08-2012 09:58AM

Other than the few sips here and there, bacardi & coke and a sambuca when 14

I was 10 and Ray Houghton had just beaten Italy in USA 94! Someone set up a table outside with glasses of that cheapo cider champagne stuff. I was allowed one and, already being hyper, it sent me into turbo mode and i ran around for about half an hour non-stop recreating the goal with varying degrees of failure!

Next was when i was 15 at the millenium and i had a third of a can of Budweiser my friend nicked from his older brother.

Sh!t no! I was about 4. A loony gran-uncle-in-law fed me a lock of vodka when we were having a meal out. I went back to my Granny's and was trying to fight with everyone. My Granfather declared that if he didn't know better he'd of said I was drunk. Then the truth came out!

Maybe there's something different about my taste buds but I just can't stand the taste of anything with alcohol in it. It either burns like vinegar and tastes nasty or just tastes like water with some rotten vegetation mixed in.

Have you tried cider, and/or spirits?

=-=

Cans of Dutch at 16. Horrible stuff! One day I got a 2L bottle of Linden Villlage; lovely stuff

Started buying drink myself in the offie when I was 16, and drinking in the pub when I was 17. Good times

mauzo · 09-08-2012 10:44AM

For my 10th birthday my dad pulled me a pint of guinness.

In a shot glass

I was always taking swigs of their drinks though, since I was about 8

zero19 · 09-08-2012 10:53AM

A pint of Bulmers when I was 11 or 12, they tried to fool me with a pint of Cidona first though.

Mugatuu · 09-08-2012 10:57AM

15, naggin of vodka at a friends house party in Tipp. mixed it with fat frog, suprisingly have very little memory of that night! :L

GavRedKing · 09-08-2012 11:08AM

16, 4 cans of cider, got through about 2 & 3/4 before I didnt want anymore, had some Fosters that night also but never liked beer and to this day I've never drank a whole pint of beer, lager, ale, just cant stand the stuff.

tmc86 · 09-08-2012 11:12AM

would have had the occasional sip of the parents drink on special occassions but would have been about 13 on my first session - stella artois and bacardi

Washington Irving · 09-08-2012 11:40AM

15, camping with friends. Had a naggin of Vodka and some cheap beer. Good times

charlietheminxx · 09-08-2012 11:51AM

I was allowed sips of beer and wine as a child to try it out.

First time I drank properly I was 14 and it was half a litre of peach schnapps straight in a field. An hour before I was due to go home. I had no concept of drunken-ness, I thought it stopped once you stopped drinking

I was 14, drank four cans of druids and a couple of joints. I was in a complete hoop

You DRANK a couple of joints? Well no wonder you were in bits!

Paddycrumlinman · 09-08-2012 07:38PM

That would have me sick as a dog now, never mind 10 ears ago with my unhardened stomach and virgin lungs.

maxfresh · 09-08-2012 07:58PM

15 ,a can of fosters

JohnMearsheimer · 09-08-2012 08:06PM

17 at our 6th year Christmas party in 2001. I was only a few weeks off 18, I regret not keeping my pledge now. It's not that I'm particularly religious but waiting an extra few weeks wouldn't have hurt me.

xoxyx · 09-08-2012 08:30PM

First time I tried drink other than sips was when I was 12 and staying in my granny's with a friend. Gran went to bed and we found a bottle of brandy, a bottle of whiskey, some rock salt (which I had never seen before) and a big tin of toffees. Mixed a bit of everything into a "concoction". The toffees didn't really melt, but the drink was strangely nice. Climbed onto the garage roof and drank it looking at the stars and chatting. Was actually the best night!

We were both mysteriously ill the next day though. Damn tummy bugs!! :P

boomkatalog · 09-08-2012 08:40PM

When I was 15 my friend poured me a big glass of vodka and 7up. I didn't like 7up anyway so didn't realise it wasn't right. I got hammered and shouted abuse at her granny.

admiralofthefleet · 09-08-2012 08:47PM

around 14. it was cider

i remember having a few cans of woodpecker cider in a mtes garage playing pool, thinking im all that as you do when you are 15. i ended up shouting soup all over the pool table

NegativeCreep · 09-08-2012 08:51PM

14, Miller. Went home and said the same thing to my sister about 7 times and then passed out in bed. Other than that it was a good night!

Teyla Emmagan · 09-08-2012 09:09PM

Probably a bottle of Ritz after me inter.

Delicious stuff!

Drinking and smoking is a glorious combination IMO, although it's easy to get in a right state!

aujopimur · 09-08-2012 09:54PM

Myself and a pal when we were about 10. had a few slugs of alter wine while we were sticking pins in the old type flags in the church presbetery for the parish flag day, we were falling around the street on the way home, followed by some serious puking later.

babymanval · 09-08-2012 09:57PM

Bar some shandy watching USA '94 at 11 years old with some older lads, my first time was 14 years old... Anyone remember Woodys? They marked the inception of Alcopops here in 1997 or so. They were so sickly and thick!! I remember gettin sick strawberry dinner chunks out my nose a few weekends in a row once we found some lads to go off licence for us.

A quick google tells me that some places in the UK still sell lemon/lime Woodys! *Shudders*
