Do you remember what the first kind of alcohol you drank was?

Budweiser in the middle of the night at a party on the shore of Lake Cumberland in Kentucky.

The party was great, but the "beer" was so thoroughly disgusting that I have not drunk it since and that was 35 years ago.

Life is too short to drink bad beer.

At seventeen, I drank several beers to see if I could get used to the awful taste. The answer turned out to be "no". It put me off alcohol for life.

I have tried various a lot of different drinks, but I have never found anything alcoholic that I actually like. I am now in my 60's and I'm perfectly happy with not drinking.

I'm in my middle 50's. There are alcoholic drinks I do like, but Miller and Budweiser and not among them. The wife and I will have wine, typically a Malbac or Chianti, with dinner a few times a month, then I'll use the rest of the bottle to cook with. My local liquor store has a great selection of beers that you can mix and match. I usually pick up a 6 pack, especially when Dopplebocks are in season. A local brewery here has a "Dark Dopplebock" that is really good. Those 6 will sit in my fridge over the next several months until I slowly get to them.

Whiskey (Wild Turkey I think) when I was teething. I know I was told to rub it on the gums of my siblings being the oldest. First I got drunk on was moonshine when I was 8. Cool step uncle used to give me cigarettes, booze and weed. I kept an eye on his still and weed plants out in the woods.

My dad let me taste a tiny amount of some forgettable beer when I was a teen. I didn't really like it and didn't actually start drinking until I was 22 (largely because of rampant alcoholism on all sides of my family)

To this day, I always wonder about the boots who actually bought stuff for my crew of teenaged degenerates. We almost always cold approached strangers around the liquor store, and always found at least one person within (on average) 30 minutes.

It was actually kinda rare for someone to take a cut too (though did happen occasionally). I know I don't fuck with that as an adult now, the fines are pretty severe (and were back then too).

Sips of beer when I was a kid.

Or if you mean for real, a shot of vodka that did not stay down.

[grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world]

Sips of beer from my parents when I was a child.

[freshparsnip@lemmy.ca]

Vodka with orange juice I think

Sorry i am no english native speaker... Did you have rum and cocain or rum and coca-cola?

[knightly@pawb.social]

The latter. Not even coca-cola gets to have cocaine in it anymore.
