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

Mugatuu

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Probably a bottle of Ritz after me inter.

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

aujopimur

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.

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*

Have you tried cider, and/or spirits?/

It's not so much the taste of the drinks as it is the taste of the alcohol itself. It's an acquired taste (Much like coffee) that I just can't see myself ever liking.

In fact, I'd say most drinks would taste very nice if it wasn't for the alcohol content.

I think the would Ireland have better athlete if the GAA didn't exist should be changed to would Ireland have better athletes if it's young people stayed off the hooch.

My towns soccer team were champions for years on end until Under 16's. All of the top players started going out on the piss on Friday nights instead

17, pint of Budweiser in the old Western Star pub in UCC, first year college.

Still have a fondness for a pint of Bud, despite it tasting like a bum's piss..

Jaxxy

I was 12 and I had a white wine spritzer with my Sunday dinner.

blue note

I think I had a small glass of champagne for the millenium. I'd have been 13. First time "drinking" I'd have been 15 or 16. Two and a half cans of Samsons extra strong cider. One and a half would have been plenty!

14. White lightning. £1.20 for a litre. Now sold as industrial paint stripper.

15. 6 cans of Tuborg on Junoir Cert night. Got caught by the Gards though. They took the rest of my cans and threatened to arrest me. It scared the bejaysus out of me.

Miss Lockhart

I was allowed a glass of wine with my dinner from about age 12.

After that it was vodka (a 500ml coke bottle 50:50 coke and vodka) at Slane when I was 15. I got very slightly tipsy but I was grand.

When I was 4 or 5 I was at a wake. So I was sitting by the table with all the drinks on it and not really knowing what was going on. I did see a bottle of 7-up and a glass beside it that contained a transparent liquid that I thought was 7-up. But of course it was vodka. I thought I was going to die.
