[Misc] Your first alcoholic drink as a yoof.

[SIMMO SAYS]

When mine got wet the moisure revived the BO of the poor ******* whose coat it once was, toiling for king or queen and country in some far flung battlefield.

That's what I told myself at the time, anyway.

Mine was Army Surplus and had never been worn

Apart from my uncle giving a sip of German beer, when I was about four.
I was initiated on perno and black at our school Christmas party, which I decorated someones hedge on way home.
What was your first alcoholic beverage

Me and a mate bought a bottle of Pernod once for a change but couldn’t remember what you mixed with it. In the end we recalled black we didn’t have any but had the bright idea to buy black currant hooch and mixed that in we suffered for a couple of days

Tin of McEwans or a Dewars Scotch as it's what my father would drink at home and from when I was about 15, he'd ask if I wanted a can of beer if we were watching something on telly at the weekend. Sometimes I'd say yes, sometimes no. He was pretty relaxed about it all. He was that kind of man- try it, see if you like it , always respect it.

He did warn me against drinking the punch at parties. Which was sound advice that unfortunately didn't take. Hence nearly forty years later, I can't touch Pernod or anything aniseed.

Remember MD 20/20? Exotic fortified wine like a disgusting proto alcopop. Strawberry/Kiwi flavour I think. In the pub it was lager top.

Hungarian Bulls Blood wine

My parents bought a bottle of this and I remember drinking a glass and feeling rather unwell - I was about eight or nine.

My first drink as a yoof, in yer actual pub, was a bottle of brown ale in The Hollingbury. There was a carol singing expedition from the school and one of the 6th formers got a bottle for me. I have no idea why I chose brown ale.

 

[Megazone]

Hooch was mine on holiday with my auntie and uncle. Not sure that drink even exists anymore?

Sold it in The Gloucester when I was just legal to drink. Absolutely ****ing lethal. Fell off the dancefloor thanks to that stuff.

Or we smuggled it in - which was entirey possible.

Not been to a pub since we got here. Honest Brew shares must be well up though.

First pub drink was in the White Horse at Rottingdean in 1974 as a 14-year-old - half a mild please sir ....

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

A bottle of Merry down cider (Back when you could buy a large bottle) and a couple of paracetamol in for some reason in the Bess Knees pub, before the under 16s disco at Tiffany’s in Wigan....

Oh and for some reason we drank it through a straw....

Then I did some gas, kinda tame really I guess.

 

[Brighton_Rose]

cinzano bianco or malibu and lemonade

 

[pastafarian]

Forget which came first but

litre bottles of Merrydown - parked my guts
4 pack special brew - parked my guts
Malibu - parked my guts and bowels

An important life skill was mastering projectile vomiting early doors as was pouring a worthington white shield correctly before mixing with gold label

 

[el punal]

Waiting for a 1901 member to say they had Moet poured on their rusks

How frightful, dear boy! One should ALWAYS use Dom Perignon.

 

[Deleted member 2719]

I had Mackeson and lemonade at Christmas 1979, While fueled on this potent mixture we then watched Top of the pops.

I had an out-of-body experience while watching Racey, sing some girls and watching legs and co, do their thing.

Testosterone was in FULL swing.

 

[dazzer6666]

In a pub, would have been a ‘pint of rough’ - the local scrumpy. Very cheap, and very nasty [emoji23][emoji23]
