I beat you all! When I was about 6, I had been outside playing, and was really thirsty. I ran home, into the kitchen (my parents were in the living room at the time) and grabbed a half full glass of what I thought was water that was sitting on the table and took a big gulp. It was what people in the South call "white whiskey," liquor illegally distilled up in the hills. I almost choked to death. I didn't touch any other sort of alcoholic drink until I was 22 and in the Navy in St Thomas. I was so unimpressed with it then that I haven't had more than half a dozen drinks since. Just make mine Dr Pepper.

You're one of those people? I can't stand Doctor Pepper... maybe I'm strange for that. People seem to enjoy it.
Well techincally I was about 5 when I first had alcohol- every Christmas Eve my Mom would give me a small glass of Sherry. It was like this thing that came to mean Christmas for me...of course Mom's plan was to have me doze off. But iwas never a lot of it, just a very very small glass, but you know enough. So I always love that drink now.

However, first time ever getting properly drunk...I would have to say never. I have never been drunk. I was never one to go out just for the sake of drinking. I'd go out to socialize, to dance, to have fun and I'd probably have a few drinks along the way. Usually no more than two or three. So I've never been drunk...although at family parties, due to my Aunt always topping up my white wine I sometimes get tipsy but that's as crazy as it gets. Yes, marvel at my wildness.

I marvel. Nah. I'm pretty much the same way... minus that one trip to Mexico with the tequila dance.
Well, at 13, I'm the only one of my friends NOT to have been drunk. *Feels much pride* I'm a good girl 😛

Same with me. Yay. We're sensible teens 😉 All my friends have been drunk a lot of times. I don't drink anything other than water, so I don't see myself drinking alcohol anytime soon 😉

Heh. Just hope I don't follow in my sisters footsteps. Until she was 15 she said she'd never have alcohol and now she's 22 she goes drinking at least once a week...(She did 'til she got pregnant anyway). But I can imagine when I'm that age I'll still be tucked up in bed watching Buffy on Friday and Saturday nights 😉

Anyone tries to peer pressure me into it, I'll say 'Back off, or I'll use my slayer mojo on you' :lmao:

In some places it's soda, in others it's pop. Some places even say coke, applying to all brands!
In England we say pop. I said soda once and this dude was like 'Whats that?'. All I can think of now is Veronica Mars :S 'Be Cool Soda Pop' 😛
 
My first drink of alcohol was on Christmas when I was 19 and my dad gave me a tiny glass of Champagne. But it was probably about 2 tbs and I didn't drink it all because it upset my stomach. I don't even know if that counts as "properly drunk" but that would be it. I dispise the smell of beer, so I've never had one of those. I don't really want to try vodka or any strong spirits because I'm very afraid of what it might do to me or how I might act. I'm a fan of wines and champagnes...my dad is in that buisness so he knows all the best kinds to get. Also that's how I came to have real champagne...that is actaully good. But that's all. He'll have me try a sip here and there of wines and such because I want to learn about wines, but I've never been even close to drunk, nor have I even had a full glass of wine or whatev. I think it's good for me because I've been able to say no to everyone who offers me to drink...and I'm in a sorority too.
 
im from the US and i call it pop... a friend of mine that moved here from cali calls it soda tho but hes the only person i know that does

Lame Midwestern chick here - it's all 'pop'. I mock people who call it 'soda'.
even from fellow brits ive been told im weird calling it 'pop'... they thought it was a northern thing.....
 
Cali girl born and bred here and I don't think I've ever called it pop. It's soda mostly, but I also call them soft drinks. My Mom's the oddball in this naming game- she simply calls it 'fizz'. She grew up in Iowa though so maybe that's another regional term...:shrugs:. But soda/soft drink is the most common for me and mine.

You should maybe lay of the Cali girl descripiton online....'i's can look suspiciously like 'l's at a glance, and I'm sure thats not the image you were meaning to portray!
I grew up in Hawaii, have lived in Washington State, and now live in Virginia, and I've heard only a handful of people in my life seriously call it "pop." Mostly they were from Texas and around there.
 
Well I havent read this thread entirly.. partly because I am slightly tipsy now but only because I am celebrating the fact I have an internet connection and can see BB! I dont make a habit out of getting drunk on my lonesome but I do enjoy a beer or beam most days.

I first got drunk when I was about 13, but not totally off my face til I was 14 and I dont even remember that. Just what people have told me and it is rather cringeworthy so any youngens out there take note!! I remember my parents leaving me and my stepsister (who is the same age) alone with some primary school friends ( a reunion of sorts) and a carton of lemon ruskis and bottles of vodka so we could make them stronger. Just as the parents came home from their night out I was being carried down the stairs by a boy named "Alby" and my stepsister was throwing up in the garden. We also had two girls in white dresses in the pool and emma and ruban on the back lawn seeing 'rocket ships' Im pretty sure they were stoned. Was a messy night.

Unbelievably my parents let me and my stepsister have many more parties, until I got sent to boarding school... Nat (stepsister) had some good parties still and I made a point of going home for them! The yr 12 after- ball party (a ball is like a prom for those of you who dont have them) was held at our house. I didnt even go to the school anymore but I still went to the party, It was the first time my parents saw me drunk and I think they majorly regreted it! We had a few hundred people at the house but it was pretty controlled.

I didnt learn, I still got drunk at my own schools after ball party and although I didnt do anything I regret I am still living it down. I got awarded Belle of the Ball (while sobar I might add) at the actual ball so I spent the whole after-party telling EVERYONE that I got Belle of the ball. Now if I ever get excited about anything my mates tease in a slurred voice "I got belle Of the Ball!"

People who dont drink too much are smart. Im not. I enjoy drinking but look back on some of my drunken mistakes and I am embarrassed. Of course I have had really good times too but those are probably out weighed by the bad. Drink in moderation😉 if at all!
