believe i was given a taste of white wine when i was a child, but i'm not sure if i remember that event or made it up from being told it.

My first actual drink was I think woodstock bourban and coke mix

I have no idea, and I don't understand how so many of you can actully remember. I don't remember first try or first time actually drinking something.

Considering how crap my memory is, I'm not sure how I do either.

I remember the weirdest stuff.

vodka-soaked tampon up the pooper when I was 12

Im guessing youre still young? I mean no offense.
wait until the stress and mental health issues build up over the years.
I dont think theres a single alcoholic drink I like the first drink. Bu the second drink though you dont taste anything anyway.

Ha! I'm 34, multiple mental health conditions and I still don't particularly care for alcoholic drinks, for the most part. It has little to do with age and more to do with specific experience.

My late father was an abusive alcoholic, and his alcoholism contributed to his death. I'm not daft enough to follow in his dangerous drinking patterns, especially the one of using alcohol to numb other kinds of pain. (And he had been an alcoholic from the age of 11, for that.) Never a good idea, unless you're trying to survive in the wilderness or something.

A little more on topic, I remember Dad used to put Scotch whisky on my dummy (pacifier, in AmEng) when I was small and wouldn't sleep. I believe my first actual drink was Polish cherry liqueur, from his best friend, when I was about ten. I liked that well enough, but not enough to care about most kinds of booze.

I rarely drink any kinds at all, other than a glass of white wine at New Year's, and a vodka and orange to help with stage fright when I'm about to perform solo in public. Even then, if I drink anything more than a sip or two within 6 hours of going to bed, I wake up every hour or so. It's not worth it. Especially when most of the time, I'm on meds that don't agree with alcohol...

Right now, I have a small bottle of Chambord black raspberry liqueur and a bottle of vodka in my home. (Oh, and a couple of sample-size wine bottles deep in the storage cupboard, that I got for celebrations and never opened.) The vodka I mainly got for use in making my own hand sanitiser (when I can get hold of enough aloe vera!) and aromatherapy blending. (Yes, I also have pineapple juice and a tiny sample-size bottle of Croc to mix in if I ever fancy a French martini - but that's all. No more.)

I had Jack Daniels sporadically in my youth, but my first time getting drunk was off some peach whiskey when I was 15

I had sips of beer as a kid from my parents but thought it was disgusting. When I was like 17, a couple friends and I bought a piece of shit tent at Target and set up camp in our hometown next to this little lake/pond no one went to. One of them brought a bottle of jim beam red stag. I didnt realize that if youve never drank before, a shot or two is all you would need to get really fucked up so I had like 10-15 swigs of that shit and got fucking WASTED. I remember puking for like an hour straight that night but I still had the wherewithal to not roll around in the piles of it so each time I threw up, I pushed myself like 10 feet back. I woke up in a bush with a trail of like 20 piles of puke leading to our tent.

had to hike like 3 miles uphill to get home and we didnt have any water lmao, literally the worst hangover Ive had to this day.

My parents used to put a few drops of whiskey in my mouth when I was teething.

or a few sips of beer at 4/5.

First full drink was a beer at a party in the 7th grade.
