Alcohol: First Time

[Mesektet Ra]

The first time I was ever right and proper shitfaced was when I was 17. There was a party at my ex-boyfriend's friends apartment, see...

Yea. It was not a good night. I've never been one to black out when I drank, so I remember the night totally. I was the only one among them who had never been drunk before, so everyone was shoving random bottles of booze in my face. And, well, since I didn't know any damn better, I was all, "OOOO-KAAAAY!" .:chugs:.

The night ended with my friend holding me up while I vomited on the grass - in order to save me from falling face first in my own puke. NICE.

Other than that, I'd say I drink about average for a 21-year-old. There are nights where I sit and have a couple beers to myself, but mostly I save heavy drinking for parties and things like that. I don't like the way I act when I get drunkity-drunk drunk, so when I'm around a lot of people I tend to take it easier. Mostly I just get stupid and start dancing in the rain or something.

I was 17. A LOT of stuff happened to me when I was 17, for some reason. Late bloomer, I guess! I didn't get falling-down-drunk, but I was pretty toasted, I remember!

Pop? Who calls it pop? No one in Scotland anyway. It's usually a generic Coke up here, or just a soft drink. Which I'm told usually means just a non-alcoholic drink anywhere else. In Glasgow, however, in their eminent individuality, it's called ginger. Never worked that one out myself...

First time I had alchohol was on a new years eve when I was probably 5 or 6. My family always drank mulled wine on new years eve as a tradition and I think I was about 5 or 6 when they caved in and let me have a glass. I'm pretty sure I found it disgusting though, and I didn't drink again until my late teens haha.

I don't think I've ever gotten drunk, though I do dabble every so often. Mostly when I go out with friends or with my boyfriend, though the most I ever usually have is a small vodka and orange..I'm a lightweight.

Never drank alcohol, never will!

Okay, I lied. I have wine at communion on Sundays at church... 😛

(That sentence flowed REALLY well for being so disconnected...)

I was 18 the first time I ever tried alcohol, and I had it several times before I got actually drunk. I don't drink often but when I do I usually binge drink and get really wasted. It's kinda fun, but I don't feel the need to get drunk again for a long time. Except one time in March I was at a club and ended up drinking half a bottle of vodka, a few glasses of wine, and capped it with a beer and ended up with mild alcohol poisoning...I vomited countless times that night and the next day, and I felt like crap for the entire week.

I was just slow at deciding to try things. I was 20 before I smoked weed, because I hated the smell of it, but now I don't think it's that bad. *shrug*

I have had wine at church for communion and when I was in France in 2005 with my dad, we were in a vineyard, but I didn't really drink the wine eventhough I was handed a glass. I just turned 21 yesterday (see the thread my adopted male-role-model-figure created here 😛), but I didn't even drink there. Ah well. It may happen sometime.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I have sips of alchohol at the age of 20. But I never plan on getting drunk. It just doesnt appeal to me.

 

[Lily]

gosh, we're a bunch of early starters, I think I was about 11 or 12 when I first grabbed a sip of mum's gin and tonic *shudders* but my first drink was an accidental drink, at age 2, i slugged a 1/4 of a bottle of red wine and slept for two days, my parents were horrified! But I'm sneaky like that, they never noticed the bad stuff I did 🙂

 

[Lou]

I DRANK something at around 18, but I didn't actually drink until 22.

I was a good little drunk for a while though. Only beer, too chicken to try anything hard. I HATE being out of control.

 

[Buffanator]

I was always a very smart (& very law-abiding!) kid. I didn't drink until I was 18. At that time, 18 was the legal drinking age in my state.

I had never cared for alcohol, or any drug (pot, pills, etc.) - my father was an alcoholic & a drug addict & I never wanted that kind of life for myself.

But all thru jr.high & hi-school, every Monday was a topic for "how drunk" or how "f***ed up" someone got over the weekend. And every Friday was a conversation for "where's the party man? I wanna get drunk." I just didn't see that "ideal lifestyle".

So when I turned 18, I wanted to experience what the fuss was all about for myself. So I asked a friend of mine to take me out one Saturday & "get me drunk". He just about fecesed himself right then & there - he knew I was a T-totaler. But he did what I asked. We stopped at a liquor store & got some Jack Daniels & some Coke. We drove down to the lake. He showed me how to "chase it". I drank the whole pint. (well, I did give him a sip or two!) After a little while of saying "I don't feel a thing".... about 20 minutes later, it hit me. Boy, did it hit me! I remember a good deal of that night. My friend holding me by the belt-loops of my Levi's while I puked in the lake for an hour. His driving me around town til I sobered up enough for him to take me home. Our conversation about MY first drinking experience. And when I got home, & was still so drunk I stumbled up the steps & into the house... and my mother was still awake & watching TV... and what do you think she said?

"Quit acting like you're drunk!" :lol: My own mother knew me well enough... knew that I was a T-totaler, etc... she didn't even believe me when I retorted "But Mom... I AM DRUNK."

That was nearly 30 years ago. I can count the times I've been drunk on one hand. I am a social drinker; never drink alone & definitely do not care to get "drunk". I hate that feeling. That dizzy, sick, not-in-control feeling.

But a good frozen margarita on a hot summer day at the beach is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. 😉

I've never been DRUNK but there was a stretch last summer where I stayed at my sisters and I had quite a few drinks each night I was there.

 

[Lou]

littlewilly agrees: YOU!hate... being.... out.... of .... control? O m g.

Okay, I hate being out of MY control. The idea of a black out and not knowing what I did does not sound fun to me!

 

[Relic]

I got totally drunk on a bottle of peperment schnaups I shared with a few friends at a camp out in 7th grade...13 years old, i think. it only got worse. My best buddies Mom was a single mother who was a nurse. She worked alot of overnights and had a wicked liquor cabnet and a fridge full of beer for her boyfriends. Him and I would routinelly raid it, then play final fantasy 1 and listen to N.W.A. while drunk off our butts. I remeber the drinking but little else..."Where did we park the airship?"

It was dangerous, unhealthy and dumb...and i don't remember much of it.

To this day, short of a Gin martini tradition at Christamas, I stay away from the hard stuff. I'll have a beer...make that a guinness given the opportunity but even thats limited. I'm worried that i'll becaome an alchoholic if i ever slipped back into the old me too far, plus I don't have the time nor drive to drink anymore.

I don't miss it, really.

I had sips of champagne and things at parties growing up but i first got really drunk at 15. It was carnival day for the town next door to mine, which is a parade of floats a funfair and lots of drinking. I went with several friends, we got some people to buy some alcohol for us. Several hours and 2 big bottles of something like Archers later i was legless. My mum came to pick me and my friend up and instead of telling us off like we expected she just laughed and said we'd regret it in the morning. She knew the hangover we would have would be the worst punishment and it was. :lmao:

My choice drink now I'm older is Jack Daniels and Coke.

Littlewilly, no I haven't heard of buckfast, no one i knows has drunk it or even mentioned it. It must not be well known where I live lol 😉 I just googled it and its appears to be some sort of wine?

 

[T.I.P]

Oh, the infamous Buckie. I love it, so easy to drink, butits got a bad rep, some people think its scumbags that drink it.

 

[Blackloliita]

I never was really drunk, though I had already sometimes problems with alcohol a bit. Like we were on some festival, and I drunk bit too much sangria and I needed to go sit down on earth cause I really was getting this painly feeling in my stomach.

 

[caitaintdead]

Yeah I was about 15 like a lot of people. I wish I'd never touched it to be honest. I have a bit of a problem with the old booze and now am trying to give up for good. It's hard though, I miss it like an old friend 🙁

 

[Winchester]

I was 16 ( i washed the dinnerware.the problem was that plates and glasses were in cardboard so they didn't need to be washed...)

 

[Ripper 08]

ok first time i drank i was 3/3.5 at a party i dont member it but got it on video so i must have happened. then it would be around 5/6 i member that one i went up to my grandad and asked if i could try his beer so he gave it me had a few sips and then gave it him back. then it must have been 15 when i first got wasted.

never drank at school until a-levels but then did we made something that smelt like paint thinner 😛.

now i only drink now and then now but when i do i do drink 😛

for now a cupa will do me nicely
