At what age did you first get drunk at?

For me I was 16, my sister took me to a night club and I drank 3 bacardi breezers. When I got home to bed the room would not stop spinning. That put me off alcohol until I was 17 and got to college.

17 for me. Copious amounts of vodka.

But I must have been a hardened drinker from the start, because prior to that, at 15 and 16, I'd have two or three drinks on a night out (lax security in the local over 18s!), usually Pernod or Bacardi Breezers and they would barely even make me tipsy.

12-13 and I've not been able to drink cider since

Frolick

18 or 19? Can't remember, I was drunk.

16; pints of fosters when I was in London for a weekend away, topped off with vodka. Ended up being driven around the locality trying to sober me up before I was caught by the oul pair. I vaguely remember getting sick out the door.

Then my oul pair made me go do touristy shíte the next day whilst severely hungover!

13 years of age, drunk on a bottle of Thunderbird

Shenshen

In my mid-20s.

Don't get me wrong, I can't even remember how old I was when my gran first allowed me a sip off her beer, it's just that I never drank so much that I would end up drunk until one day in my 20s.

I hated it, and have avoided getting drunk since.

14, polished off a bottle of gallo. Ugh.

Remember being on the bathroom floor at 4am thinking I was about to die. Kept saying 'I'm sorry, I'll never drink again'

15, on a karate club trip to Jersey. Having to catch 2 flights the next day with a hangover put me off the stuff for a while, although the Aer Lingus fry (late 90s when this was a thing) did act as good soakage...

Ten, gathering potatoes in the hail and snow.

12, a few hours after I took the pledge.
14, on a school trip to France.

18 for me, on my 18th birthday, budweiser/heineken!

Had been tipsy before a few times, at 16/17 usually on just a few bacardi breezers :eek:, but 18 was the first time I was just drunkity drunk!
I remember thinking one minute "oh being drunk is great, I can handle drink" then quickly went to "I dont think I can walk the 5 or 6 steps to the bathroom without falling over" :rolleyes:

Red Kev

4 . With my neighbour who was 4 or 5 at the time, we nicked a couple of bottles of beer out of his parents house and sat beneath a tree playing "oul fellas". Got caught (obviously), vomited everywhere and left it until I was 14, almost 15. I had a few beers when we got the Inter Cert results and I was a fair bit pissed alright. Didn't get caught thank Christ!

Too bad you've never reached enlightenment.

17, vodka in Paris on a balcony outside our hotel window. It was amazing... still is to this day. Quote of the trip was "I feel great" because I kept saying it.

13, My friend and I went halves on a six pack of Dutch Gold, I have been drinking that liquid gold ever since. I'm even a member of the Dutch Gold appreciation society.

Do you take the pioneer pledge at 12? I thought it was earlier. I remember on the day I became a pioneer I found a can of beer behind a wall at the priests house, I took it as a sign and drank the can.

My dad got caught drinking by his mother when he was 36!! She didnt speak to him for weeks!

Me, 17!

14. once when I was in 2nd year I went to a friends house during lunchtime and had a glass of vodka... I don't remember much after that only I had double latin first thing after lunch!

Next time was 16 in a pub and after that was 17 in an army barracks

I'd drank a few time before in (including in the pub on jc results night) but think the first time I got properly drunk was when I was 16 down the pub with a few relations, Had about 6 or 7 pints, cant believe how drunk I was after so little drink looking back, compared to what I put away some nights now.

Another late bloomer here, I was just twenty when I first got drunk. It was at the end of second-year exams if I remember correctly.
