What was your first alcoholic beverage?

For those who drink alcohol.

What was your first beverage? What is the backstory?

The summer after 9th grade.

All of us on the military base were getting ready to move. Our neighbors were staying in the base hotel waiting to head out. They had twin girls my age. One of the girls and I snuck over to the vending machines. At that time, they actually had beer in the machine. We bought a beer and hid behind the building drinking the beer. It was super exciting because we were terrified of getting caught!

Champagne for New Years in 2000, when I was 16. My parents' had bought a bunch for a party, but not a lot of adults showed up, so my friends and I drank it. We thought they bought it for us too, and they say that they didn't.

Grin, never had one...now wait. In 8th grade my choir teacher married the band teacher and they were Catholic and had communion at the ceremony. The wine was really wine and not the grape juice I was used to... It burned on the way down and I thought...oh it must be real...

Peach schnapps in 7th grade. Sneaking it at a friend's house. *shudder*

I accidentally took a sip of my dad's drink when I was a kid, but I'm pretty sure I gagged and spit and rinsed it all out without swallowing.

After that, I was 20, and DH had just turned 21. Some of our friends gave him a bottle of white wine for his birthday, so we each had a glass. Then sat around and waited to see if we'd feel drunk.

It was Hot Damn. Classy! I was 19 or 20 and at some college party with DH. He was such a good influence and a lot of fun once upon a time.

If we're talking classy, I'm pretty sure that my second experience was Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill. We discovered that you could put it in a bottle of pink lemonade and nobody would notice. Or the Fuzzy Navel in a bottle of orange drink.

Ha! ALOY, I was going to mention Boone's Farm First was definitely peach wine coolers in 7th grade.

[Bittersweet]

Haha, I love it!. Fuzzy Navels were my go to back in the day. Now I'm feeling all nostalgic ... but not enough to drink the crap I drank in my youth.

Aw Bittersweet, you don't feel like breaking out any box wine?

[Bittersweet]

Aw Bittersweet, you don't feel like breaking out any box wine?

Haha, I could sadly probably be convinced .

Ugh. Let's see...official first taste of alcohol was sometime in either 8th or 9th grade when my cousin and I sneaked sips of peach schnapps. First official alcohol in any notable quantity was shots of Malibu coconut rum at 17. Dear god I cannot stomach the taste of rum or coconut flavored beverages to this day.

I was 14. My parents let me have a glass of West Coast Cooler with Christmas dinner and at New Years. With friends, probably 16. My friend's brother used to get us a bottle of vodka and we'd sneak it into the under 18 disco and mix it with coke or red bull. Yuck.

Ninth grade-with parents and grandparents on NYE. a small glass of Cold Duck. So gross!
