my first drunk experience was at 14. found some alcohol in the fridge/on the counter (don’t remember which), the places my dad usually leaves his alc. poured myself some when he was in the other room and drank it in front of my friend on facetime.

didn’t quite vomit but nearly did. he told me i was entertaining but also really weird (kept talking about communism and communist china?)

i also remember saying “i love you” to him but he fortunately hung up right before i said that.

    Probably about 14. My parents had a well stocked liquor cabinet. Enough stuff to where I could try small amounts of various things and not be noticed.

    As per the local law, 21, though it was just me sampling drinks for my birthday. I ended up being one of the few who hated the feeling.

    I was eight years old at the drive. My older cousin had taken me. He gave me a Sonic cup that had Dr pepper and peach schnapps. I got drunk as shit. My mom found out and was absolutely pissed at him. I’ll tell you what he did when there’s a “How old were you when you did drugs for the first time?”

    I’ll let you know when/if it happens.

    I was too uncool to ever be in a binge drinking peer pressure situation and have yet to find an alcoholic drink I actually like the taste of, so I’ve never managed to drink enough in one sitting to feel any significant effects.

    Don’t get me wrong: I want to like cocktails, as all the flavor combinations seem pretty interesting. It’s just that whenever I actually try one, I’m disappointed by how the bitter taste of the alcohol ruins whatever else is going on in the drink.

      Yeah, same here. I’m middle aged and I’ve never been drunk. I don’t see the appeal, and most alcohol is nasty.

    15 - an alcoholic neighbour of a friend of mine saw me an my 2 friends hanging at a playground at night and invited us for a drink. He was quite drunk already and passed out pretty soon after so we stole the rest of his beer and wine and went to my friend’s place to continue drinking. Pretty fun experience all in all. R.I.P. Eki.

    36 I believe, I planned it because I rarely of ever drink alcohol, but wanted to experience being really fucking drunk, got a few people I trusted and got really fucking drunk, they didn’t.

    Was nothing really fun or entertaining, didn’t help any depression or anything. One of the most annoying and just no benefit for me drinking.

    Have not drunk alcohol sense, don’t see any point

    I was 21 years old.

    CW: Descriptions of Being Sick

    Decided the best way to begin drinking was to do shots of Southern Comfort with my roommate. I got like blackout drunk, woke up hours later needing to vomit… I ran to the bathroom where I found my roommate passed out in the bathtub in the fetal position in his own sick. I turned to the toilet as the SoCo and bile made its way to the top of my throat, it was go time, now or never… to my horror both the seat and the lid were down. My mouth filled as I tried to get the lid open and then… disaster struck. The puke hit the diagonal plain of the half raised lid and sprayed all over the walls and toilet tank. I then slipped and face planted into the tank giving myself a black eye.

    I didn’t drink for two years after that night.

    18, my soon-to-be-first-girlfriend was hosting a party.

    I still have a fondness for coconut rum and sprite and big naturals.
