Went to 'the shows', a fairground that appeared for three weeks on the moor near my house every August.
Drank Pulse cider and this awful MD-esque concoction called Fruits Unlimited.
I developed a God awful crush of shame on a 30 year old one-legged Waltzer operator from Yorkshire and had to be dragged away from him by my concerned friends. Dear dear.
I didn't get caught that night, sneaked home, mum was working and my gran was knitting. Spent the night discreetly vomiting.
Those were the days - drunk by eight o clock, sick at nine, hangover abating by the time I had to go home.

Nobody especially enjoyed smoking or drinking (beer and heavier spirits at least) the first times they tried them did they?
― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Thursday, 19 January 2006 12:14 (eighteen years ago) link
it does, because to buy drink you have to pretend to be older than you are. so a 15-year-old *might* *just* be able to pass for 18, but 21 is a stretch.

Loved cigarettes straight away, from the first one. Which kind of puts the lie to the old "you only enjoy cigarettes because you're addicted to them" line. I was really anti-smoking until then because I thought people only smoked to look cool. Then my best mate started smoking at 15, and we were sitting in the pub one afternoon and I think I was asking him why he smoked, does it actually do anything, etc, and I tried one just to see...

Same here. I took LSD before I ever got drunk or got high on pot (though not strictly before I drank). Only took it once though and now I just have too many layers of psychological damage to consider taking it again.

In senior year, me and some of the guys pounded back a few brews before school one time but I worked mornings in the school library that semester so it just meant I was a little wobbly while sliding the newspapers onto their wooden wands, no big.

I guess I was 17? My best friend's mom bought us whatever we wanted as long as we drank it under her roof. Questionable but ultimately very responsible parenting, by my assessment.

think it was 16 or so. had 3 cans of Milwaukee's Beast and had a blast. called up some girls from school to ask if they wanted to come to the party. thank god none of them picked up.
next morning I remember saying, "nope, drinking's not for me". I was wrong about that though

i was 12 when i started drinking. 20 years and still going strong (apart from my liver). though i have moderated somewhat in later years (of course I am typing this hungover in the office at 11am on a Monday so maybe more moderation is needed)

started drinking about 13 or 14. think first time was bottles of beer with my cousin.
from upthread: I got caught drinking by the police when I was 14, it was a really bad day. - yep. more amusing in hindsight tho.
i was drunk at school once or twice in the final months when things got lax. stoned a bit more often.

I started drinking when I was 15, myself and a mate got some bottles of heineken one xmas eve and we drank them at the football pitch late in the night. Not long after, I started going to school discos and we used to drink before we got in. We couldnt always get drink from off-licences or get served in pubs so we would often have to depend on vile concoctions (if there was only a little vodka, throw some whiskey in there and maybe a bit of coke or orange for a mixer like) of whatever we could get from our parents drinks cabinet. Puking was usually the outcome but at least you'd get a buzz.
I never was drunk at school although I remember one of my classmates passed around a plastic bottle of poitin during science class and we all took a few sips when the teachers back was turned.

I didn't drink til 16 which was prob a full year after everyone else in my year I'd guess. The usual experience mirrors mike's above apart from the glorious 6 months my mate got a job in a cash and carry and would routinely throw a box of naggins in the skip on a Friday afternoon for later collection.

My stepdad used to knock back at least 20 odd pints of bitter and countless brandies on an average day-sesh. He nearly died of pneumonia about 10 years ago and got told he'd be dead soonish if he didn't change his ways. He is in his early 70's now and still has 3 or 4 beers when he goes to the casino, or The Funhouse as he calls it. Most other people I knew who used to drink as hard as he did are in the ground - including one who died in his late 30's and another in his 40's. Some people are maybe lucky or their organs can take more of a pounding than others. I have this peasant superstition type belief that a good diet might help - disclaimer - it is probably bollocks!

Going back a ways, we totally drank at school. Irish coffee beforehand, cokes-with-vodka during the day, and excursions to the parking lot for peach schnapps (!) were commonplace. We even found a tunnel underneath the school, nicknamed the "bomb shelter" - for all we knew that is in fact what it was intended for - and day-drank within it.
In fact it was in this school that I heard a particularly elegant phrase about drinking, one that stays with me to this day. One of my cool older sister's cool friends had a 7-11 Big Gulp cup with her on the way to Latin class (klassy!). She was asked if it was Diet Coke, and she said, "Yes, but it's been doctored." Beat. "It's been doctored, and now I'm nursing it."
At the time, this turned me inside out with longing and envy. In retrospect it was actually pretty commonplace, probably not very original, and indicative of people whose lives were not as together as they seemed. But at the time....
