The potent combination of Speights beer and Apple Cider. Combined with a hot summers afternoon and a race across the checkerboard top of a cooler/chilly bin. Ended up on all fours in the near by mangroves for three hours and a rather dreadful night where it felt like i had alcohol instead of blood.

The tender age of 17, the beginning of my 7th form year. I was a late drinker by the standards of this country lol.

I had drunk before, but this was the first time of really drinking. My mates and I played the wonderful game "Circle of Death" - a pack of cards and a bowl in the middle, each time a king is drawn people poor some of their drink in the bowl, last king drawn drinks the bowl.

We were playing with beer, mostly Export Gold (a fairly cheap but not awful lager). I lost. And i lost badly.

I gave the bowl a valiant effort, but couldn't finish it off. Started to go to sleep on my friends hard wooden floor. Another friend decided i should go onto the couch, after a lot of protest, we stood up, and that was what did it. The world became a blurr and i literrally sprinted to the nearest hole i could find - his kitchen sink - and proceeded to unload the chinese i had for dinner into it.

I still enjoy export, but i refuse to play circle of death.

That was my first, but definitely not my worst.

I got drunk of cheap bear in middle school and in my first year in high school. My sophomore year though. I got that drunk cant move don’t know where the fuck I am sick for the first time. We were drinking before a football game. A little too fast. I got sick. Couldn’t walked. Puked all in the parking lot, and sat in my car the whole time everyone was at the game.

First time something like that happen with hard liquor was my first year in the Navy. My squadron made a trip to Falon, Nevada. We all were going to go to this bar. At the time I was only eighteen, and thought that they wouldn’t serve me at the bar. I drank three quarters of a fifth of Absolute in 15 minutes. Fell great when we got there. The axis of the world changed real quick. When to the bathroom and did the spitting thing, and then it all came up. That is all I remember.

Later found out that they were serving drinks to everyone :(

big ol' mug of hard cider when i was about 14...

It was some kind of clear alcohol. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

Gilda

Beer & lots of it. I drank it on an empty stomach in the college dorms during some "parents weekend" event when I was a Freshman. My parents drove for 5 hours to spend some time with me that weekend, and I spent it mostly in bed with an awful hangover. They were none too pleased.

Southern Comfort...

A friend's father owns a distributor and so my friend was infamous for providing the alcohol during my high school days.... anyway we put a bottle in the freezer for 12 hours and then thought it would be a good idea for the two of us to play "quarters" with the bottle of SoCo. About 45 minutes later the bottle was gone and about 1 1/2 later I was hugging the bowl.

Good times...good times... ;)

First time I really drank alcohol
 

The first time I really drank alcohol was brandy. I blacked out. I cant remember anything.

The first time I got sick from drinking was in England. I was 19 and on a tour of Europe. Feeling like an adult, I entered a pub and noticing everyone who looked cool was drinking Guiness, I ordered a bottle and took a sip. Very shortly thereafter I got really sick and it was years later that I was told that I was allergic to malt. Oh, well. I never did drink again.

Cheap beer. Cruising! A practice that (I hope) isn't popular anymore.

Ah, good times. I was 16 so not too long ago. I had just finished my GCSE exams, so i went to the beach with loads of friends and got royally pissed. I hadn't had anything to drink before for most of the day and was on a completely empty stomach. Needless to say that when I went out for a posh meal with the family later that evening I was barely conscious. My parents of course could tell, my showering fully clothed gave it away i think. I still drink beer though along with any of the other spirits I may or may not have consumed that night.

Vodka.

I don't drink vodka anymore (unless heavily mixed) :)

I was a sophomore in high school, and the football team had an overnight party at one of the guys' house. His parents allowed it to be a HUGE party, and there were probably 10 kegs or more over the course of the evening. Football team, cheerleaders, other miscellaneous kids from high school all getting hammered...

Anyhow, my first time drinking, and I must have hammered down 10 beers real quick. Then I wolfed some chili, chips and a hot dog down. Not long after that, the beer hit me HARD, and I couldn't even walk. I dragged myself outside, propped myself up against a tree, and puked myself into a new frame of reference.

After that, I felt much better. Even started drinking again, but much, MUCH, slower!

The next day a friend of mine and I woke up early and felt like shit, so we went down to the shore of the lake and hopped in. We had no suits, so we just stripped down and got soaked for a few, then got back out. Unfortunately, the guy who lived there had a sister, and she took some Polaroids...those came back to haunt me in my senior year!

Thats a different story tho. ;)
