Your first drink

MJ23

12 years old, me and my pal went halves on a 2lr bottle of Old Somerset cider. It was great fun. Cycled around the town then, fairly pissed. Did it every saturday afternoon then.

Not sure if it was the first, but i remember Getting drunk off 4 pints of guinness my friend bought me in walters in Dun Laoghaire. I thought it tasted bitter, so he put blackcurrent into it



Been a slippery slope ever since

Agricola

Drank Guinness with some sugar in it from time to time when I was a kid. Probably started drinking properly when I was 16. Used to go with my Dad most weekends. I remember thinkin how great it felt sitting in a pub drinking pints with the aul lad. Id come of age!
That was around the same time, I started drinking in fields with friends from school. Also found a dubious pub in the area that was always crammed with under 18's and serving them beer as fast was was humanly possible! Thats when I retired from outdoor pursuits.

had my first pint in a local pub at 15, nearly 20 years ago

brummytom

I was quite old - 15, went for a curry with my mate's mom and dad; they asked me if I was allowed to drink, I lied and said yes; so I had a Budweiser in the Indian (horrible drink).


Second drink, a few weeks later, at another mate's house, was Scotch - eurgh

few glasses of wine at my confirmation - the parents said i could have one glass. So i kept drinking and refilling! It was still the same glass!

Also - boy was I buckled! Tried to cycle my bike and crashed into a tree

vicecreamsundae

I had a sip or two of different drinks when i was a kid, but my first drink when i started drinking was at work, we had like a customer xmas party with lots of free booze and whatever was leftover was for staff. i didn't drink at all at the time,[cough straight edge cough] but i was so thirsty from cleaning up and beer was the only thing that was cold so i cracked open a bottle and never looked back.

Ah, memories.

Was 12, the summer before first year and a group of us (little cúnts every last one) planned to go into town on the lock, so I got together £20, fished outside the offy for ages and eventually someone came along, he asked what I wanted, I didn't have a clue- so said get whatever. He comes out with some diabolical dishwater white wine, and says it cost £20. Thought nothing of it.

Anyway, got to town only to find everyone else decided not to drink, they chickened out. fúck them I thought, and downed the whole bottle there and then. Puked in Stephens' green, puked on the O'Connell bridge, puked in Grafton Street, puked all over an old man on the bus. Fell in the door, stinking of wine and puke and probably píss, the aul one's standing there- 'what in the bejaysisssss', I fell flat out on the carpet and went 'had a pizza don't feel well' and then puked the rest of the bottle all over the carpet and the furniture.

Didn't see the light of day for the rest of the summer. Good times.

How can you put good times at the end of that? seriously??

Run_to_da_hills

By old man was a strict bol*ix, would not tolerate any alcohol until the age of 18, not even a sup of table wine. First time getting seriously drunk was on home brew at about 16 years old.

In my granny's old haunted house. I told my dad (back in cork) me and my friends were watching the constant gardener

Bruxxelles, harry Street, down the stairs to the left.

First ever taste was probably from my dad or an uncle or something at a family thing like a wedding.

But I started drinking on the Plaza in Waterford when I was about 15, used to get someone older to go down to centra and buy a bunch or nagins of vodka and some bottles of coke and we'd all chill out and drink all day

On the night of the Junior Cert. results night. On the way to a disco with a nagan of vodka. Got off the bus and there was a line of about twenty boys from our bus taking a piss, it was comical.

I-Shot-Jr

Age 12, my cousin's garage in Roscommon. 6 cans of Dutch Gold. Love at first sip, almost 8 years on some of my Pal's still call me captain dutchy.

Thats the way to go really, if you're not dying to get drunk its probably for the best. I love the jars but its left my body in an absolute state.

Hackysack

I was 14 with the parents at a cousin's 21st. Someone recommended that I start off on something easy to drink.

So yeah, my first drink was Blue WKD.

I quickly learned to move onto a more 'heterosexual' drink Budweiser (aka ratpiss), before I eventually found my beer of choice (Miller, or any German beer that's going).
