First time you drank/ Drinking stories.

Now, I trust my dad, he kinda raised me and stuff, right? He wouldn't hurt me. As the shotglass filled up, he gave it to me, and showed me how to take it down in one hit. Now that doesn't work so well when you're 5 and the most hardcore tasting thing you've ever tried is pixie sticks with pepsi. When I try the same thing, at first I thought, wow, how could anyone drink this, and then I thought, wow, I need to puke....NOW....and so the a nice trail of puke from where I was standing to the kitchen sink was made, my mom slapped my dad over the back of the head, and I had to stop the ceiling from moving for the next hour. Moral of the story: don't take tequila without lime and salt.

lol I have a similar story, but I was neither 5, nor was it tequila. But my reactions were the same.

I was 8, and my dad was drinking some banana liquor, and when I was near the table, I got the sweet banana smell. I asked him what it was, and he told me it was a banana drink (he didn't say it was alcoholic or anything - just a banana "drink"). Having never tasted a banana "drink" before, I was intrigued, and before I could ask him if I could have some, he offered his glass to me. I took a huge gulp, and don't really remember if I swallowed or puked it out. My mom and dad had a good laugh.

That's the first time I drank alcohol, but I don't count it as drinking.

Technically I first drank when I was about 5 years old and that's a pretty funny story. Basically, my brother and I wake up real early on a Saturday morning to watch some cartoons and we open up the fridge looking for our early morning dosage of Coca-Cola. Sadly, there was no Coke, but there happened to be some Budweiser. Of course, being dumb kids and thinking that anything that came out of a can was okay for us to drink, we started drinking beer and had probably finished a couple before my parents woke up and saw us drinking beer and told us to stop. Pretty funny...

I've had my fair share of drinking way too much and blacking out...Not so much recently now that I'm out of college, but one night I probably drank an entire bottle of vodka + cherry 7-up, then some Mint Juleps my friend made, and some other stuff....I don't remember anything about the night, but apparently I had to be dragged across campus and into my bed where I then vomited all over myself and the bed. Pretty disgusting, and I obviously felt pretty poor that night.

I've had a few more fun controlled drunken adventures. Some of my good drinking buddies and I got pretty wasted and wandered off campus and we ended up in this coat hanger factory in Bennington, VT...We snuck in somehow and took some boxes of coat hangers for the hell of it...Then we almost went to Robert Frost's grave to drink and probably do something idiotic, but we decided against it because it was a long drive. Another good time was putting on ski-masks and drinking (illegal by campus rules) right in front of our campus security booth...Then I peed on the President of the college's parking spot...There is picture evidence of that somewhere, but it's just silly.

Hmm my first real experience with alcohol (not counting a discovery made about the grandparents cooking later on) was I think as a sophmore in college is around 19 (I know late start) and my roomie who dropped out left a beer for me to try. Left it in the fridge for a few weeks. And finally before break decided to give it a try, to this day I still don't like the taste of beer. I can drink it but not a fan.

My first time really drunk was... my 20th birthday (same sophmore year) it started with me heading over to my friends' suite and they were playing some RE 4 on Cube (my game and console) and fixed me a Rum and coke. Couldn't really turn it down on my b-day and all. But it didn't taste bad and finished it pretty quickly. Think had a second one or a beer. Nothing major happened. That I knew.

So we get up to go to some party. And the school is built on a hill in some parts. So we get outside and someone has to run back in to get whatever. It is then I realize I can't stand straight as I slowly inch further and further to the bottom without moving my feet. Pretty funny walk as I was somewhat tipsy at that point.

So we get to this party, I forget if it was anything special but it was on the second floor of some store or whatever. A ton of people are there. And lines for the bathroom are insane. So my friends decide to relieve themselves on the balcony of the place which is facing the main road. I of course refuse at first but the urge gets worse and worse and the line doesn't move anywhere. So finally I decide to go on the balcony. And of course being my first night I get in trouble. As two girls were walking up the block to the party and just missed my golden shower (that's my story but ask anyone else and they swear I pissed on them) and I got ejected from the party. Friends came along with.

Then we went across the street to the basketball formal, where another one of my friends was and he started feeding me all sorts of drinks because no one had ever seen me drunk before so it was fun for them. That went ok. Finally, we go to the only club in town. And I use my friend's fake ID to get in.

I don't really remember anything beyond this point. But I do know there were bright lights which is why I avoided the place like a plague for the next 3 years. And I apparently met a lot of my friends who told me about it later on. I do remember walking outside and passing out in front of the club for a bit. And talking to some cop. Be damned if I remember about what.

I ended up walking back to my room alone.
And lost my hat somewhere along the lines.
The next day or day after my friend finds my hat in the back by puke. So apparently I barfed my brains out before I made it inside. Which sadly enough would be my best puke effort as the rest usually makes a mess inside.

Junior in high school; friend was watching his sister's house, and brought out a few bottles of cheap Vodka. Liberal use of hot tub ensured that instead of slowly falling into a buzz, the brunt of the alcohol hit all at once after getting out of the warm water. Puked and puked and puked and puked.

Went back the next day and did it again. Less hot tub, but more creamer and Kahlua.

Most of my anecdotes portray me in situations like two guys in a hot tub. Take that for what you will. There's a reason I didn't like Reagan.

Wow, for some reason I was thinking a lot of you were going to say you drank earlier. I was kinda expecting 15 to be fairly old to start. I guess we just had nothing better to do here in the cornfields?

I started casually earlier (16 or 17 with dad over New Years) but since I'm losing weight, I've cut it down to one or 2 a week with friends if they do or just none at all. Once I get to a sensible level, I'll drink a little more casually.

Though here, we have a place called Beertopia. Beer from all around the world. We've tried quite a bit and are figuring out whats the best. Though with all the varieties we've tried, it's hard to keep track

[Jason1]

Yea, I mean its not like I was drinking on a regular basis when I was 16 or whatever. It was whenever we happened to be able to get alcohol, which was probably maybe once a month? I dont know rough estimate. Anways, when I did drink back then it was always a lot...had to make up for the weeks off!

Well, it was my 18'th birthday when I drank for the first time. I was dumped by my girlfriend of 5 years that morning so I was pretty down. My buddy was house sitting for his dad and called me over as he was planning a party (with his dad's permission). I arrived early (like 6) and we just started cooking out, gingerly tried a few beers (which I was not hot on at the time). I think we were drinking Coors Light and Guinness (quite the opposites ) and I had a hard time getting them down. After 4 beers or so the party was getting started and my friend asked me to divide the pop and the alcohol into two coolers and label them both as 'pop' because we thought somehow that was gonna keep us from being busted if we got called on. So anyway, we dubbed alcohol 'more pop' that night and the name's kinda stuck even though we're legal now.

At any rate, it was your standard house party. Too many people, too much going on, way too loud. It was an awesome time. The night finally got interesting when I was already drunk and we started playing Categories. Well, I decided I was going to play with a bottle of rum instead of the standard beer or mixed drink (bad idea, by the way). Anyway, we were playing by the Waterfall rules that night (as opposed to shit mix) and I ended up being the last person in the waterfall. For those of you who don't know, everybody starts drinking when the waterfall card gets drawn. Whoever drew the card gets to stop drinking first (but can drink as long as they want), and then the person next in the circle can stop drinking (again, whenever they want), and so on and so forth until the last person is either dying for air or ready to puke. I ended up being neither (too drunk to know better) and I ended up with my friends chasing me around the house shouting 'stop Eric, you'll kill yourself' as I ran with a bottle of rum laughing hysterically.

So they hid the rum (why is the rum gone?) from me so I wouldn't injure myself. So I passed out on my friends bed for a bit only to come to with most of my clothes off and a girl nestled into my side (thank god, she says nothing happened). Anyway, we played Edward Forty Hands to finish off the night (I lost :S) and that's pretty much all I remember.

Figured, I would show off my new drinking hat.
Comes with a chinstrip so it doesn't fall off during keg stands.

My first time drinking was some time when I was a kid and I asked my dad what the Corona he was drinking tasted like (I thought it would taste like soda) and he gave me a sip. Nothing too exciting, haha.

My first time REALLY drinking was my senior year of high school, when I was 18. I went to some graduation party and this girl put a bunch of drinks in some weird fruit juice. I had like 2-3 that night and I got really drunk, but not sick. I think the first time I got really fucked up was my first year of college. We went to a party one night and I lost track of how much I actually drank. I ended up puking in front of a toilet most of that night. Try to avoid getting that, haha.

It wasn't whop (spelling?) was it? Where you cut up fruit (mellon, apple, grapes (the best,) pineapple, etc.) and marinade it all in vodka (we used to use coolers) for 24-72 hours. The Vodka takes on the flavor of the fruit and a lot of it gets sucked up by the fruit. So then you get a fruity alcoholic beverage with and a bunch of delicious Vodka fruit.

We used to have Whop's (again, spelling?) all the time during the summer after high school graduation. One of my favorite things to do with a summer evening.

When my boss was a kid, yeah, he found a watermelon soaked in vodka at his parents party and ate it all. He was shitfaced, hahaha. I wish I could have been alive and there for that.

Jungle Juice is something similar.

Though it was a combination of rum, vodka, fruit punch and beer. And some fresh fruit. Made it sit for like a day. Some awesome stuff.

Reminds me of the one time I got pretty nice just eating the fruit. Good times.
