What was your first drink when you turned 21?

Question

Lynx122 · Accepted Answer

I started drinking when I was 14 and by the time I was 21 I barely drank anymore. I think I went a year without drinking alcohol and I didn't even notice it. I didn't drink often earlier either but I usually drank a lot when I did just because it was new and exciting and we all thought drinking a lot was cool back then. Now I've started drinking a little more often again because my social life is a bit more active but still not that often and I've learned to not drink till I throw up everytime which is great. My first drink? Back then we drank a lot of salitos ice, desperados, I drank pesca frizz sometimes, baileys, malibu and orange juice, just beer, vodka red bull stuff like that.

I started college at age 16 in Atlanta. Legal drinking age was 21. County Commissioner Manuel Maloof owned a bar which NEVER got raided, so they never carded anyone, including me. I was drinking beer at Manuel’s early on. Drinking was extremely common on campus. I had access to whatever I wanted and I became very familiar with Tom Collins.

I transferred schools and moved to Tallahassee in 1973. In 1974, Florida lowered the legal drinking age from 21 to 18. I was 19 years old then. I think my very first legal mixed drink was a Black Russian (which was very popular in those years.)

Margarita. I didn't like it. I went through numerous drinks to the point that the bar thought I was taking advantage of them and told me I couldn't swap out drinks anymore (like I was trying to taste the whole menu and not pay).

The issue? I realized I don't like the taste of alcohol and eventually found out that I can only do shots and no actual sipping drinks (no wine, champagne, beer, liquor, garbage can punch, etc.)

That'd be 11. And wine. At the meal with the others.

The 'benefit' of belonging to one of the various non-Anglo cultures who don't treat youth drinking as if taboo. Anglos in this way are so stupid. Their kids sneak booze & drink too much - as some of the others testify if their commentary is truthful - because "responsible" parents can't be bothered to teach them.

sensogal · Answer

Who said our 1st drink was at 21? You realise that there's barely a handful of countries in the Entire world whose legal drinking age is 21? 90 % of the rest of the world is 18yrs old and most of us have been drinking before that age anyway. Only Americans talk as if they are the only people on the planet

Shiver · Answer

Johnny Walker Black Label, neat. I was 16. It was pretty enjoyable, aside from the burning in my throat with the first sip.
I mean, unless we count the occasional sip of wine and beer when I was a kiddo. I got to drink beer occasionally before I could talk. Lol

A tip to those who want to drink vodka as their first alcoholic drink: don't drink it neat.

Ramtastic · Answer

Born in England, raised in Ireland my first drink was when I was about 12 😅

Used to drink lager or cider back then

My first legal drink at 18 was a pint of lager too

Though I'm more recent years I've moved onto spirits and Ales

crazy8000 · Answer

Yeah. my fist drink was at age of 15. homemade vodka with coca cola. didn't buy regulated vodka since they put some chemicals in it to make people puke if you drink more than a certain amount. (some people can't digest that chemical without getting sick every time no matter how much/little they digest)
And it have heavy taxes that makes it ridiculous expensive.

I don’t remember but my first drink ever was a bottle of E&J on my 16th birthday. I drank majority of the whole thing by myself in a few gulps just cause I was being cheered on. Let’s just say I couldn’t stand on my own too feet and blacked/passed out while standing. I never drink darks even to this day.

Bogoboj · Answer

i still remember this like it was yesterday. i was 9 years old and my grandpa gave me his homemade i guess you could call it whiskey and it was WAY to strong for a kid to drink but i did enjoy the taste.
And for clarification in my parents country it is legal to make your own alcohol but it is illegal to give it to a 9 year old kid.

I live in the UK so the drinking age is lower at 18, but had been allowed wine with meals much earlier than that around 14 if I remember right, so I've never seen alcohol as one of those forbidden things, the first drink I had in a pub after turning 18 was a pint of Becks Lager.
