Vodka straight, can’t even smell the stuff anymore.
Vodka with lemon soda.
Did not like it. And as of today I don’t really like any alcoholic beverage.
Sake. I chugged it like a shot.
A can of Tennants lager in Scotland in the 70s, given to me by my maternal grandfather. Probably about 3.2% or 3.6% abv. Tennants cans had a picture of an attractive girl in a swimsuit on every can. A four pack would have four different girls. The one on my first can was called Isabel.
First alcohol in a pub was from my paternal grandfather. I was fourteen. Grandpa ordered two pints of bitter. The barman asked him how old I was. “Eighteen. Scrawny little bugger in’t he?”
Wine. Red wine.
I was still a little kid and tasted it from my granddad’s glass, just a sip. I begged to be allowed to taste it, as I wanted to do like all the grown ups were doing. I hated the taste. That changed as I grew older.
Nowadays, approx the same age my granddad was back then, I don’t drink wine anymore but I certainly don’t hate the taste ;)
Champagne in Reims when i was 12 Was good. But i dont drink alcohole in anything
Like most US teens: Stolen beer.
Ahem. Illegally purchased beer. Thank you.
I think it was a bottle of Miller draft, dad let me have a sip when I was 15 or so. It tasted so gross I stayed away from beer and alcohol until well into my 20’s, I just couldn’t understand why people drank that stuff.
Eventually realized not all beer tastes the same haha.
Sparkling wine.
I had a deal with my Dad. If I get him a beer, he’ll give me the first sip. I remember it being gross. 🤢
Leftover warm Heineken at the bottom of a bottle. After a dinner party thrown by my parents. Snuck a little swig while the grownups were outside saying goodbye. I must have been 9 or 10-yo. Tasted like snakebite. Just awful.
Didn’t go near beer till midway through college.
Cheap French lager in one of those stubby bottles. Funny how I remember the taste favourably even though I don’t like lager these days.
A simple pilsner beer when I celebrated my 14th with my family.
A sip of red wine the adults said was the blood of a man who lived about 2,000 years ago.
First sip aside from magic ceremonies, a cold beer alongside a ham sandwich while working outside. Probably an american lager like Coors or Bud Light.
All I got was grape juice :(
Strawberry wine cooler from my aunt’s refrigerator.
