Your first Alcoholic drink?

Where and when and with whom (if you remember) did you have your first alcoholic drink?

Mine was when my Da took me to Kavanagh's on the Malahide Road. I had completed my Inter Cert and I'll always remember I had two glasses of Guinness and they tasted like heaven.

That was in 1969 and the next time I had a jar was when my Da took me to Kealy's pub in Cloghran, with my Ma, and that was in 1971 after my Leaving.
And the rest as they say is history


Great way to be introduced to alcohol and I did the same with my two sons but not in the same places

Coles in Fairview ( as it was called then beside the cinema which was still open then )

 

A pint of Bass, snuck down to me at the very back of the bar by my mate who was a lounge boy for the summer. Then onto the 44A and to the Grove.

Laughing at this topic

i mustve been about 11 or 12 was in spain with the folks and this fella was stealing his mums vodka and orange and sharing them with me yummy still like a vodka and orange

I have to say i never went knacker drinking before i went to the grove i was either in some1s house or the flowing tide

but 1st offial drink was when my mum handed me probably a fiver on my 18th birthday and told me to go buy myself a glass of harp ffs had to pretend it was woefull even if i was on pints heinekin at that stage

What was with drinking Harp in those days it was sh*te

only found a reciept for a meal out i had the night of my 18th birthday other day and a steak only cost £2.35 with all the trimmings

 

My first drink was Vodka, use to have my "nagging" of Vodka on my way to the Grove then it moved to a Shoulder of Vodka....

Can anyone Guess what my 2nd Alco Drink was ?????

P

Mine was sneaking the sherry in the Ma's sideboard as a little kid.

First real drink was at the Horse n Hound..A pint of William Youngers at age 14. Had no trouble getting served and it became a regular from then on.

Grove days was The Sheds mostly.

Methinks MORE than the beer went to his head....LOL

I never admitted this before but I was a Bouncer at Shanks in the Croften for about a year.

I wonder how many of you I didn't let in he he he he 

I'd say my first drink was a whiskey, my Da always had a bottle in the press and we used to take a slug and pretend to be drunk. Advanced then to flagons of cider in St Annes park. First pint was the tv room in Dollymount House. Being the tallest I had to go to the hatch and the barman would have to stick his head out to see ya. A pint of Harp and not to forget "Sally O Brien , the way she might look at ya"  

First drink was a pint of smithicks. Would have been '87 direction after the Inter Cert. Still amazed I got served, it was in the old airport hotel (now the Regency) on the Swords Road in Whitehall.

We used to have Harp at home, particularly at xmas - one or two were not noticed as disappearing from time to time.
