What your "first" alcoholic drink?

Sorry friend, you're wrong. The ability to hold your liquor IS one of the measures of a man.

Not saying it's the only measure, but it's on the list.

I am turn 21 tuesday or monday night midnight, whatever you see fit. I am going to be in mrytle beach with 20 of my frat brothers, so to say the least I am going to black out.

I am taking the approach have a crazy time. Just don't do one of these two things (1) die or (2) get arrested, which won't happen. But it will be an amazing time..only turn 21 once.

Other than a sip of my friend's dad's beer when I was four or five (didn't like it) and a couple thimbles of muscatel communion wine when I was temporarily a Christian (a few years later), I have never had an alcoholic drink. Haven't felt the need for any, so far.

Also, by the time I could drink legally (18 in NYS at the time)--at the end of my first sophomore year of college--I had noticed that alcohol and (some) other drugs seemed to turn a lot of people into real assh0les. I was/am already an assh0le and didn't need to take that extra step to get there.

Anyway, Happy Birthday! Congratulations! Enjoy!

I guess you could argue that getting drunk is no measure of one's manhood - drinking a lot and NOT puking/passing out is a better test.

FW - 6 beers in 2 hours and you puked??? No good.

First one is always a beer. The last, several hours later, is usually mescal and a worm.

I will be dead soon.

first weekend of college, a bottle of Rolling Rock. Even then I knew it was shitty beer. That was my first beer/non-supervised alcoholic drink, I'd had sips of champagne on New Years but that's different.

My first drink was some vodka out of a water bottle the night of my high school graduation. My friends were determined to finally get me to drink, I didn't start drinking regularly until I was in college.

liquid cocaine, try it

Try a "New Jersey Turnpike"

You can probably get it for free if it's your birthday...

14 years old, watching Live Aid on TV while the parents were out for the day. Asked my brother if he was just going to to actually ever get around to drinking that glass of Wild Turkey or just sit around with it all afternoon. His wife bet me $20 I couldn't slam it and keep it down. I won that bet, and another $20 for the next shot too.

red wine

Honestly, I was a naive freshman in HS when I was offered some clear liquid. An acquaintance told me to take a big swig and enjoy. I took a swig and instantly started to puke. It was Everclear. The dude that gave it to me was almost pummeled by a couple of the upperclassmen who I didn't even know, but were furious that someone would tell a person to swig Everclear. At least I had solstice that someone had my back that night.

Firewater, Tarzan.

In a bar? Scotch. Not a good one.

Wasn't a good bar, either. Probably Julius' at Waverly and West 10th.

In my day, you could drink at 18. And if you looked 16, that was good enough. People were always giving me more Scotch and Quaaludes than I could handle.

i was only 16, but as you all know, busch light is my beer of choice. but sometimes, as my mama taught me, when you show up at a party you just gotta drink whatevers in the cooler. i've seen her drink 5, 6 different types just so that she doesn't have to go out and buy her own. my parents are real cheapskates i know, but with all the money they saved on college, i do think it's about time they open their wallets.

southern comfort and coke.

My first drink was at 12. My friends and I in the hood stood in front of the liquor store on West Adams Blvd and Crenshaw Blvd. They just finished more of the Santa Monica Freeway that year and cars were able to enter/exit Crenshaw all four ways for the 1st time. We got a wino to buy us any bottle of whiskey, let him have a swig, then we drank the rest. It was Christian Brothers Brandy.

Piss and Gin, actually (two shots of each). Yes, piss (my own). It was a bet, and I ended up winning $40 and a dinner. Luckily? the gin pretty much overpowered the piss, and all it was was maybe a little salty. Fun times.

Yeah, but I heard she's resorted to the pill bottle since the last drama act that ended in fiasco. Guess the pills are a plus cause she can't mooch as much, although the copays must be getting up there. That's gotta be rough.
