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

Galwayguy35

Catari Jaguar

13 - vodka, sneakily at a friend's parents' Halloween party. Was sick the next day (possibly from the junk food) and terrified my Dad would bring me to doctor and alcohol would be detected in a blood test!

At the age of ten, I tasted some beer and wine. It was literally just a drop each but I distinctly remember both tasting absolutely horrible.

At 15, I was offered a glass of beer (Stella I think) by some family members. Took a sip and found it just as vile tasting as when I was 10.

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.

No one was asked for ID in a pub when I started drinking, I suppose it's enforced more these days.

Onesimus

I was 3 or 4 years old. It was hot ''whiskey''. My mom and dad used to let me try some.

Had a glass of champagne when I was 11. It was horrible. First drink not with family was at 17 and it was a blue WKD.

12 - 2 vodka and cokes at my sister's 21st thanks to her boyfriend, now ex!:p

Edit This was my first 'real' drink not just an odd taste or sip here and there.

later12

I was a very loud and obnoxious child (yes, unbelievable, isn't it:pac:) and apparently used to get brandy as a kid to send me to sleep.

Apart from that, I didn't properly drink until I was 18.

I'm actually quite opposed to underage drinking and always give teenagers a little lecture when they ask me to buy alcohol for them outside Spar.

"Plenty of time for that when you're older", I say "go and pick up a hurley and play for Tipp".



Then they batter me.

Gbear

14. Lindon Village in a bush.

MaxSteele

Whiskey. About 10 months old I think.

My granny used to add a drop of whiskey into my night cap milk bottle to make sure I didn't wake her up in the middle of the night screaming crying.

My first proper session was at 15 though. Shoulder of vodka on the green. KO'd :cool:

BOHtox

17, long neck of bulmers. Had vodka that same night as well

Been drinking bulmers since :cool:

First time I actually got drunk as a teenager I didn't know how much you should drink, so I got 2 naggins, and drank both of them in a very short space of time...

IrishAm

Nine. My American uncle bought me two half pints of Guinness at me nans funeral.

It will stop me experimenting behind the families back, he said.

Help me grow up with a responsible attitude to alcohol, he said.

How did that one work out, unc!

Senna

I'd say you were a very sick puppy afterwards:pac: I had no idea you were meant to mix it, I was caught once trying to sneak out with a coke bottle of bacardi.. I honestly thought it would be the equivalent of drinking a can

Worst part is it was in temple bar too. On a patricks day weekend no less. Yea I didn't understand the whole mixing thing (I also saw the massive bottles and thought "well if someone's going to drink THAT much") so just poured them both into a lilt bottle and ploughed into it. There were pretty girls in the group and I just wanted to be cool

Lost everyone & blacked out for hours, no idea what happened. Woke up on a bus travelling vaguely in a homeward direction.

I'm positive some random stranger must have helped me, I was a tremendous dumbass, even sober.

I learned a lot, very quickly, about drinking responsibly that day...

pablomakaveli

Shot of Paddys whiskey when i was 12. Hadnt expected the burning sensation. Bit of a shock for my first drink.

Looking back we were awful thick about it but we figured we got the high off stealing drink but didn't have a clue what to do afterwards!

The 'innocence' of youth and all that

meoklmrk91

My parents were fairly liberal with the sips, so I can't really remember when exactly I had my first taste of alcohol. But when I was around 11 or 12 I remember coming back from the pub with the family on christmas eve, I'm the youngest so they were all well on, they let me have a glass of wine and didn't notice that I helped myself to a good half a bottle, if not more, until I started getting loud and laughing at stupid ****.
