As suggested; when was the first time you got drunk?

RedactionRedaction Posts: 2,044 Captain
Mine was almost 40 years ago when I was 15....somehow me and three of my friends ended up with four cases of Miller High Life. We camped in some woods near our home. OMG! I remember throwing up that night so many times...the walk home the following day was HORRIBLE! I threw up all the way home, I threw up in the shower when I got home. My mom had to have known...I was a wreck! I was sick for two days. The thought of beer for many years made me gag. I have not tasted a Miller High Life since!

    about 14, snuck a bottle of rum from my dads house and took it back to my moms. Went to the park in our neighborhood with a girl named Missy and my buddy Henry. We killed it in the bathroom at the park. Henry disappeared, I wanted to go home but Missy feared my mother would murder us so she took me to her house and fed me a pot of black coffee. I barfed all over her bathroom, and her lol. I had a soccer game later that night and I was goalie. We lost. I swore that I would never drink again....

    For me it was 5th grade. It was fishing opener and my older brothers and sister and their friends brought me camping. They had a kegger, so I was gave it a go. It's the only time drinking I remember having tunnel vision. I yakked a few times outside the tent that night.

    I didn't touch beer or alcohol for a year after that, not because it was a bad experience, but because I was in 5th grade and I also didn't think it was a big deal.

    I must be a late bloomer. I was 17 when they changed the drinking age to 18. Was able to buy beer without being carded. Beer or Boones Farm was popular then. No booze, and rarely over did it except when I chugged a bottle of MD 20 20 my senior year of high school. That was the last time with that stuff. Started puking in the stands of a packed football game. Never saw one play.

    I was around 15. Neighborhood delinquent made daiquiris. Ugh. Threw up in his living room. Then stumbled home to bed. Threw up in bed. Mom was pissed. Second time I managed to open the window and throw up....it all landed on my moms down stairs window sill. Last time I drank for a long time.

    At 13 two buddies and I rode our bikes up to the Dog House bar in Marathon (now JJ's Dog House) and paid a guy $10 to buy us a 5th of vodka. We mixed it with oj. Our plan was to get a just a little drunk, obviously none of us knew the correct volume so we drank all of it :Glass

    I think I was about 15, parents were out of town, older brother had a party, and I was issued 3 Busch beers.

    Not thinking that was enough, I grabbed dad's Lord Calvert and took a few pulls.

    If it wasn't for the St. Augustine grass in the front yard, I would have spun off the face of the earth, or so it felt.

    Puked and puked and puked.

    Didn't drink again for quite some time, and to this day I hate ALL Canadian whiskey. Even Crown. Blech..

    12 years old. I had drank a few beers before this particular night, so I thought I knew what alcohol could do. Unbeknownst to my dumb young azzz, the same amount of Jack Daniels does not have the same effect as the same amount of beer... I filled up probably a pint glass of JD from my parent's stash, and had at it (slumber party). My Mom found me incoherent crawling/rolling around on living room floor with my buddies not knowing what to do, got me to bed, and let me sleep in my own vomit. Thankfully she had it in her to watch over me the entire night and not let me drown in my own puke...lol

    9th grade thanksgiving night. Parents had a bottle of wine in the fridge, i drank it. then got into the kentucky gentlemen, started tipping it up chugging it. proceeded to throw up for 6 hours, pass out on the bathroom floor. My parents took a Polaroid of me with the wine bottle sitting on the toilet. Good times.

    Second time, sophomore year, 1-32 oz bottle of old english 800, 4 busch lights later and here we go again.

    I was 13 or so and we had a party at a fairly wealthy friend of mine's house. Drank Kamikazes and ended up passed out under their pool table. Other's grabbed deer horns off the wall and were poking me with them. Kids are mean.

    We'd sometimes go the grandparents house for Sunday dinner.

    I was probably between 5 & 7 years old ... hard to tell.

    Grandpa would take a water glass 1/2 full of wine, and plop it down.

    With a seltzer bottle from the fridge, he'd gave it a healthy spritz.

    Dad would say "drink your milk first" ... and I, of course, did.

    ( Grandpa made wine, and had a barrel of it in the basement. )

    Many years later, ...

    I figured out why I always fell alseep on grandma's couch.

    15, Christmas party and my cousin and I slipped to the liquor table way to many times when the adults weren't looking..
    Got easier as the nite went on.
    I was sick by 2-3am and thruout the next day.

    Didn't drink for a couple of years after that.

    Drinking Schlitz from my granddads cellar in middle school. He owned a corner store and had surplus in his cellar. Stacks of beer everywhere. He must of bought it by the truck load. There were 55 gallon drums of bottle caps.

    Little story bout the Doghouse.

    Billy Tyner (one of the great kingfish/mackeral gillnet Captains) took on 5 other men in a fistfight at the Doghouse, Billy put up $500 with the bartender and the others put up $100 each.
    Billy told them "one at the time or all five, I don't care"
    He whooped them all, effing tore up the bar, was a great time..
    No popo called, no snowflake whining, just man to man..

    I worked for Billy for a few years, was quite the adventure...

    RIP Mr. Tyner, thanks for the best (wildest) time of my life.

    Quart of moonshine in Daddy's shop.

    Took a big gulp one cold winter day.

    Felt like I swallowed molten lava.

    Felt drunk as all get out.

    I was 8 years old.

    Never drank moon again. Hate the smell of it.

    15, I had a waterfront job at a boy scout camp. Staff used to drink every Saturday night. First time was 2 quarts of Bud, got a little buzzed not drunk.

    I was 13. One of the neighborhood kids got a few pints of Tango premixed screwdrivers - really cheap vodka with some kind of orange flavoring.
    Drank a whole pint and threw up violently. I couldn't drink a screwdriver until I was in my 30's, couldn't even get one up to my mouth without retching.

    I used to have issues with brandy and whiskey do to blackout incidents. I've gotten over the whisky, but I am not sure I could do a brandy.

    The first was Jack Daniels when I was 13 but a really bad night was shortly after that....ten shots of pepi Lopez tequila...we kept count...it tastes very bad down and coming up. Not a big fan these days but all through high school I worked at a grocery store and on Friday night my boss would go next door to the liquor store and buy me a half gallon of the stuff....cheapest they had, and my friends and I would get absolutely hammered

    I turned 78 yesterday and have never been drunk in my life.

    Just don't care for the stuff.....guess I'm boring, but no regrets.
  • stc1993stc1993 Posts: 10,588 AG
    Good deal. My mom turns 85 next month swears she never even tasted it. I believe her to be that old & still able to do just about anything except drive. We don't let her drive anymore after she got lost going to Jacksonville as many times as she's been there.

    I didn't start drinking until my 20s since neither of my parents drank and I started when I would go out with friends. Probably the first time I got drunk was when I got introduced to Southern Comfort. It was good whiskey at the time and I drank a few on the rocks. I had to use the restroom and got up to walk and discovered I was unable to walk straight. I switched to water after that for the evening.

    I never usually drank enough to get drunk. I would drink Rum and Diet Cokes and switch to just Diet Coke after 3 or 4.

    I wish I had no interest. I would save a lot of money.

    I only drink when I'm by myself or with someone...j/k. Some the most memorable and fun times in my life have involved drinking friends and family, but as I explain to my 17year old daughter - some of the dumbest most regrettable things in my life have also involved drinking. I'm thankful I made it through them....I've slowed way down now that I'm older.
