How old are you when you took your first shot of alcohol?
DiscussionWait a minute...
fetal alcohol syndrome moment 😎
Sam onella would be proud
“Looking around, some of you have it!”
"Hey, kids."
Que Sam throwing a man into the sun with sheer willpower. ALONE
"DAMN YOU GARFIELD!!!" ~an overly aggressive assassin.
Hardly a month old.
oh he was my best friend when i was 2!!! he stayed with me for six months before he had to go away :( dunno why the doctors said i was gonna die maybe he was scared of that
Stop 😭
15 at the beach with my brother
👀 FAS?
i was 7 when i licked some hand sanitizer (they have alcohol in them so it counts)
Good job
Thanks
Any kind of fruit juice also has alcohol in it
but hand sanitizer has a higher concentration of alcohol
I was 3
Ik this is pedantic but a shot is a particular form of ethanol and not isopropanol. It is a specific volume of liquid with a certain range of percentage of alcohol.

Oh thats a bottle of water ... Ups that wasnt a bottle of water ..
Haha, I had something similar. I thought I grabbed a glass of coke. Turned out it was a glass of red wine instead. Me no likey!
exactly what happened to me
I tried a sip of a leftover drink that my dad had. I thought it must taste good. Def didn't
Idk what I drank. Looked like some apple juice
It burned lol
“Hey mom I don’t like the spicy grape juice”
fr what i said when i was 12 i chugged this mix of grape juice and vodka and it tasted a bit spicy
Happened to me too lol
Same
Bo'oh'o'wa'er
Lol, vodka?
Balkan moment
Yeah... I don't count wine so I'm not counting my unintended wine making moment in kindergarten 🤣
Wow almost identical. I grabbed my dad's whiskey on the rocks thinking it was iced tea at around 5 or 6.
Then at 15 one of my buddies snuck some Jack Daniels and some Irish whiskey out in hqlf-pint water bottles.
He had 4 of those bottles.. There were 3 of us. I drank 2. It doesn't feel like a lot when it's a little half-pint water bottle and your trying to chug it all in your friends room before his mom comes looking for you guys. I was loopy before we got down the stairs and out the front door. I was absolutely bombed by the time we walked to the corner of my friend's block. They took me to a nearby school's practice field to sober up. During this time, I decided I needed to learn how to do a hand stand, and that I needed to work on some of my wrestling moves. I was on the wrestling team, and I was decent. I spent the whole time doing take downs and then doing weord moves that you rarely get to git in actual matches. I put one of them in a Spladle, and did a Granby roll on one of them when they tried to jump on my back to slow me down. My two buddies hated every minute of it, but that's what they get for saying we couldn't dump the last 1/2 pint bottle because it's "really good Irish whiskey. We can't waste it" but not volunteering to drink ANY of it themselves.
I can't believe you had a pint of liquor with no tolerance and you weren't permanently harmed, or were able to move around. That's wild
I am a big guy, and I am genetically almost entirely Irish. It was not lost on me. I didn't realize till a few days later that it was an insane amount of alcohol, but yeah when we realized, we discussed how insane it was that A) we didn't realize it at the time and B) that I didn't die.
14, but where I come from, legal drinking age starts at 16.
Ja wie ich sehe Prachtexemplar eines Deutschen
Ein Prachtexemplar? Eintracht makes me think of soccer.
German 😂💪👍
Or belgium
german!
Lets be honest. Legal drinking age may be 16, but no one gives a shit.
It is/was pretty common for teens to start drinking occasionally before even hitting 16.
here in mexico, the legal age is 18….. most are already drinking at 14-15
Same except us is 21
Nein Nein Nein!
Don't tell the dragonborn
same
- That's the european lifestyle
i was also 7. but that’s also the American South lifestyle
8-9 also EU
Rookies i was 3
ok u beat us.
Amateurs. I was 15 months old
Also I'm from poland
me too
Ok i admit my defeat
what the fuck, here in portugal never touched beer yet
Like 8 for me but my parents have a pub/restaurant/hotel place and they were drinking all the vdka at the time
Damn that's crazy........ I'm 17 and recently tried it and if my parents were to know this they'd kill me (_)
Like 6, dad gave me a sip, hated the taste, honestly good parenting that experience never made me want to drink alcohol ever
Yo same here, when I was around my dad while he drank beer he always pretended it tasted bad
Pretended?😂
It's an acquired taste lol
An acquired tastes just means it tastes bad until you drink it so much it doesn’t anymore
Like coffee lol
It just sucks, wine and vodka are way better imo
What, vodka tastes better than beer? Are you insane?
Beer sucks and vodka has no taste so the choice is simple
What is the other option? C*m?
A bit salty imo but you do you ig
Nah i prefer strawberry milkshake from urban dictionary
vodka definitely has a taste. And i dont think anyone likes it
Vodka has no taste🤨🤨🤨
Yeah. I have a slav side of my family and they thaught me that the tasteless it is the better is the quality
beer tastes like barley, vodka tastes like fucking isopropanol. while beer isn't the best thing ever, its miles fucking better than vodka, taste wise.
True, when I am out with friends we never drink beer even tho we are german, we always mix Wodka with some juice, that tastes and the poison status builds up much quicker
We mix it with shit like redbull or drink it straight from the bottle
Damm, red bull got recommended before but drulinking straight from the bottle? You guys must be very tuff, desperate or simply Russian
Italian genes ig, we buy a bottle and take a sip per person, it's fun, would recommend it
How may people are you usalualy? Where three most of the time but I think I can't convince them. I am hardly convinced my self tbh lol
Vodka is absolutely disgusting. Its "flavorless" if you add it in a cocktail, alone it's one of the worst things to drink and only drank by people who dont have tastebuds, mostly teenagers and russians. Beer has a refined taste, granted shit like budlight and corona taste horrible. But good beer is among the better tasting drinks.
Wine is good tho I agree, and works even better in cooking.
38 million angry Poles are rapidly moving to your location right now
Beer is really good though
The best way to do it as a father is to get the FOULEST asshole juice tasting alcohol, and your kids will never touch it for years.
My dad did the same, but I saw that my brother also hated it, so I kept asking my dad for sips of his alcohol
Haha same! I tried some beer when I was 7 or something and now I’m the only one that doesn’t drink at all in my school/class
Bro same, my uncle gave me a sip when I was 6 too!
I've never tasted alcohol ever since.
My dad tried doing the same but I liked it
14 i think
8 years old. Thought it was grape juice. 😭
I was 3 I thought the Rakija (Balkan alchoholic beverage) was water
3?! Bro I was 15 months old when I got polish traditional bimber from my granddad
I mean you technically was right
7 .Who tf makes beer cans so colourful
me
What beer cans are you buying bro? All the ones I see are blue. And the smell makes me think they taste like shit so I never even wanted to try them.
The first time I drank at all I was 14.
The first time I had a full drink I was 16.
The first time I got drunk I was 18.
The first time I took a shot I was 18.
The first time I was blackout drunk I was 19.
Yooooo my 19th was my first and only time getting blackout.
For me it goes:
The first time I drank at all I was 15 months.
The first time I had a full drink I was 14 years.
The first time I got drunk I was 14 years.
The first time I took a full shot I was 6 years.
The first time I was blackout drunk I was 15 years.
Now I'm 18 years old Pole and I act as stereotypical slav with vodka and bimber (spiritus-like ~98% strong alcohol homemade by many families in Poland).
Now I have super strong head and I'm a little drunk all the time. Like now, by writing this, I have on table in front of me a vodka (I'm drinking without glass, straight from bottle)
TIL that water and ethanol don’t form an azeotrope in Poland
I did all this on my 14's
Took my first shot of alcohol few weeks ago on monday and then i took another 6 shots of alcohol, my head still dizzy in the next morning and definitely not a fun experience for me
I fucking puked at my wall in bed because I overtook it 💀 stupid me
It was my 15th birthday and I was hanging with my older brother and I drank way to much svedka, ended up throwing up well over 15 times and never felt worse in my life to this day. Never touched alcohol again.
I drank an entire bottle of moonshine and I can’t remember a thing, apparently I cried and told my friends I loved them all night long. And got into a boxing match with a friend.
You : sobbing i love you so much 5 seconds later You: I will go Rambo on your ass!!!
There’s certainly a bit of a techinque to it, and it’ll get more fun after a couple of times. Once you find that fun… in my experience, once you pop you don’t stop.
But that’s kind of the thing though, it’s supposed to be fun. If you feel terrible and unsure, there’s no shame in waiting. Trying to experiment with that kind of stuff when you’re not ready is something to avoid. I was early out at 14-15, but like half of my friends didn’t until like 17-18, and some still don’t drink. Didn’t respect them any less for it, nor the other way round (at least I think lol).
Tl;dr: Point is, it’ll probably get better, but no need to force it.
dont drink alcohol on an empty stomach, also dont spam shots, drink 2 wait 30-45 minutes, if there is no effect 1 more shot and so on until you feel properly drunk
The fuck? That's a good way to get hammered in 30 minutes and start puking 30 minutes after that.
Yeah idk why they’re getting upvoted that’s terrible advice lol
It takes a lot longer than that to feel the full effects of those shots, you will get more drunk than you want that way.
I never had alcohol cause I am a good boy
I'm so proud of you
👍
same :)
I’m 19 years old and I never had it either :) tbh i don’t see the appeal
Same. I'm not trying to trash my body and then wonder why I can't do anything physical at 30 years old. Alcohol is poison.
yipeeee good job :>
Thx
Same here 🖐️
W king 👑
same
never
Same I never did. Im 17
Good for you
yeah im never gonna drink
(dont do it)
Never had, and don't plan to start drinking, it seems stupid. The closest I got was when I mistook my uncles wine for my Coca-Cola, 2 different times, which is weird since my uncle lives pretty far away and I don't see him that often, but I didn't swallow it either one of the times, since I recognized that the taste was of pretty immediately, and barely any entered my mouth.
Not at all stupid. I'm also planning on abstaining from alcohol for my whole life. I can have and have had fun without alcohol, and I really don't see the benefit of drinking something that smells rancid and makes you feel awful afterwards. Don't be ashamed, man, stick to your ideals
damn this is just crazy to me but i remember i was having the same mindset telling everyone i wasn’t gonna ever smoke or drink or break a single law now i am living it up not necessarily in a good way or bad way but damn it’s crazy that i used to think that way too
On Holiday. Family playing Card Games (Blackjack in this case) where the winner gets a shot of Vodka. I was allowed to play since they thought “ah he is 8, no way he can win”.
I won.
before they could do anything i celebrated, grabbed the glass, and took the shot. and i love vodka. fun night and now a fun memory.
There's no way you enjoy vodka at 8 years old 😂😂
there's no way anybody enjoys vodka at any age, shit tastes like gasoline. how the hell do people drink this shit
Vodka cranberry is absolutely the way to go. Idk what it is about the cranberry but as long as there’s a decent enough amount of it you can’t taste the vodka at all
maybe im strange, maybe im delusional. but it gets me drunk fast so who am i to complain?
I was 7 (im balkan)
Is it true you can't keep calm because you're from the Balkans?
Nah… we can keep calm. But we tend to react intensly and say a lot of bad words without really meaning them. Basically you can curse at someone or even fight them and go for a beer 30 mins later… there is no “the silent treatment” in balkan men
I don't see the appeal, so never I guess
On my 19 birthday my mom let me have a sip. Burned a lot and tasted like battery acid and death. It's my last year on this sub lol
thank god im not the only one who hates the taste of alcohol, ill never understand how people drink it
I don't do shots, I make banging cocktails
21🫡
This is r/teenagers… sir, i think you have some explaining to do..
Never. Family has a history of alcohol addiction so I’m never touching that stuff.
i was like 5 or 6 when i grabbed a beer and drank it thinking it was some soda or juice
Still hadn't just genuinely not interested in it
Same. I would like to keep my sense of judgment, thank you very much.
In my country they give kids wine to drink for Easter in the church, so... 5 or 6? But honestly, the first time I actually knew I drank a cup of alcohol was when I was 11. I had champagne for new year at my grandparents 🤣
- Don’t drink though, messes you up and opens you up for bad things to get inside
I didn’t. And I thanked myself for it.
alcohol in general at 13 (wine, etc), proper shot at 14. Actually quite late compared to lots of people 💀
Nigga how is 13 late for drinking someone should call cps
I know people who were day drinking at twelve. Proper alcoholics. Just how Nottingham gets ig.
Nah I haven’t even drunk any alcohol yet and I’m 19
12, I didn’t know what it was
Father is an alcoholic, he made me a very strong margarita and forced me to drink it while watching movies. It happened several times as a teenager. Remember drinking beers with him while he drove on road trips. Forced me to drink with him and wouldn't let me say no, just kept offering it to me until I buckled and would drink it. So about 14 was first time.
I'll tell you when I find out
9 and a 1/2 I should have waited
I was 11 and I drank grape juice (maybe like 1L??) but it had just started fermenting and I noticed a weirder taste after drinking it all and then realised
I am 19 and I haven't smoked or drinked and I don't think I'll ever do it....tho I wanna taste red wine once!
13 and i didn't even know
9 I think, I drank some beer on accident thinking it was soda 💀
11 i thought it was apple juice
Number is still going up
like 4 when I drank my mom's wine and thought it was grabe juice
I was 7 but i thought my dads cans of beer was soda so I tried it. I did not like it
6 ( I had Tiramisu)
Well in that case 4 because a pack of yoghurt had some. It said on the label that you had to eat like 220 packs of them to get the same effect as a single can of beer would have.
Isn't tiramisù just savoiardi, egg mixed with mascarpone and coffee?
We keep it halal
still waitin
Havent yet
Thats forbidden
Shortly after turning 15. Since then almost every weekend some kind of party
