Do you remember your first beer?

Post Reply New Topic

My first beer was foisted upon me by a friend at lunch, a couple of hours before terrorists blew up the Stock Exchange. At that point I was back in my office, a few blocks away from the Stock Exchange. The building swayed and then I heard a Boom. The boss ran out of his office and said, "Did you feel that?" Not for the world would I have admitted the room was swaying after a beer. "No," I said. That was my story and I stuck to it, although it gave me a certain notoriety.

lol -My father let me taste his beer (a teaspoon full) when I was about 6. I think he thought I would be repelled but I immediately wanted more. My parents let me have a beer at home when I was in my mid- teens, thinking that if they let me have it at home I would be less likely to go out and experiment. They were mistaken.

I hate beer, not even sure when I first had one. But my first shot is funnier, had that with the church youth pastor on XMas. Ah, good times.

I had my first beer in March 2008, on a camping trip in Oklahoma with a geology class. After trying it, I vowed never to touch the stuff again.

Liquid bread....

Yeah. 17. Had a couple of my father's that he had in the fridge. Didn't like the taste at the time.

No I can't remember. My Dad used to brew his own beer at home and probably let me have a sip as a child. He used to make wine too and we would go out for walks and collect odd things like dandelions to put in the wine and I was allowed some wine diluted with water with my dinner. Alcohol has never been a taboo thing in my family, so there was never any excitement about it.

I wasn't allowed cola or Irn Bru though because it would rot my teeth. So to me cola was probably how alcohol is to everyone else.

my first beer eradicated my memory of it

I had my first beer, a week before my 19th Birthday.

beer.. 10.. a sip but i dont drink it just wine andthe odd spirit

It was Halloween, I was seventeen, visiting a friend in college. It was my first experience with alcohol, and I got more or less drunk, as did my friend. Afterwards she asked me to lie next to her in bed and she told me that she had been romantically interested in me when we were both in high school. Having Asperger's, I didn't get the hint and went to sleep on my own.

First sip of beer when I was 12. I had a sip when my brother wasn't looking. Didn't much like the taste of it.
Then I had about three beers at a wedding aged 19 or 20. A christian wedding mind. I drank them too fast, got a bit tipsy and threw it all up while the reception was still going on. Classy.

Beer and I have a good relationship now.

I had my first sip of beer when I was a little kid...don't remember when. I had my first full beer when I was 16 at Thanksgiving dinner. It was a Heineken.

I remember my cousin stealing a beer from his dad when I was maybe 14-15...it was in a gold-colored can and I wasn't too impressed with the malty taste...didn't drink enough of it to get a buzz...that came later with vodka and homemade screwdrivers - along with spins and dry heaves...at which time I began to realize how nice it was not to feel anything (except dizziness, which I learned to control)...no overwhelming stimuli, no social embarrassment (not that I wasn't doing things I should have been embarrassed about), no empty, homesick ache from being marooned somewhere I never belonged. OTC painkiller. Not quite as effective as it used to be, but it's cheap and legal.

The silver bullet - now that's funny...

I drank my first caramel non-alcoholic beer as a kid
I tried real beer when I was underage (and am not proud of it). We bought 2 bottles with my friend Meggie (how come anybody sold it to us?) and drank a bit on New Year's Eve.

I can't recall my first one, it would have been either in a pub when I was 16 or the home-brew I made during the same year.

About a year before that I'd discovered a beer-off that sold alcohol to minors, so I got myself a flagon of cider and drank the lot, just to find out what all the fuss was about. It just made me feel a bit woozy. Took me another year or two to realise there was a social dimension to alcohol......I'd stayed on my own for the cider experiment, but I later worked out that the idea was to get smashed with friends and then brag about it. So I did a bit of that (luckily the friends were reasonably nice kids), but after a few sessions I just got bored with it.

I do recall the first drop of alcohol that I ever drank - it was literally a drop, when I was about 8 years old. My parents had had a small party and I found an "empty" with a drop still in it. I didn't like the taste, and I felt rather ashamed of myself afterwards, as if I'd lost my virginity or something. In those days temperance was still revered by some, and I'd heard somebody praised for having never taken a drop of alcohol in their life, so I thought "that's blown that one."
I'm a bad man.

I don't remember my exact first taste of beer, but my mother was pretty lax about us kids getting into her beer supply, when we reached our teens. I remember thinking that it reminded me a lot of piss. Especially when it got warm. Later I discovered that I had some sort of allergy to alcohol, so I never touch the stuff now.
