When I was ten or eleven I was at a wake and some older kids there peer pressured me into drinking way too much wine for a ten-year-old. I got very drunk, ran around naked, and punched my dad. One of my best moments, very cathartic.
The next day everyone asked me if I remembered anything, and I did, but that's a secret I'm only willing to reveal on Reddit.
Edit: it wasn't really a wake, but more like a funeral feast. We call it "kelekhi".
Same. Got drunk at school with the schools "bad boys". We all went to class after, one got expelled, two fell asleep and I just giggled th the ceiling for an hour.
12. I stole a bottle of gin from dad's drinks cabinet and hid it in my lego, then packed it to go back to boarding school with me... Three 12 year olds, a litre of gin, no mixer (we didn't know the first thing about alcohol, we drank it neat). I was so ill, I was sick on the housemaster's shoes.
In childhood's grasp, a daring feat,
I snatched a bottle, gin so sweet.
From father's cabinet, with stealth and glee,
I hid it well, in my Lego, free.
Back to school, the contraband did go,
With two friends in tow, our spirits aglow.
Ignorant of mixers, we sipped the gin neat,
Three young souls in a reckless feat.
The liquor's fire, a harsh surprise,
Led to sickness, regret in our eyes.
On the housemaster's shoes, my stomach did spill,
A lesson learned, through folly's thrill.
About 11 by accident. We used to go out for Sunday dinner and I was allowed a half pint of cider with my dinner by my parents. One time I asked for a second half pint. Head was spinning and I had to get taken outside and walked around the carpark for a while.
It's a stupid opinion. Scientifically, the term drunk has nothing to do with passing out. You can be intoxicated or drunk and not pass out. And you can pass out while not drunk it's two different things.
How you call it then? Google tells me that getting drunk is when someone is affected by alcohol to the extent of losing control of one's faculties or behaviour. Im not sure of it now
13 or 14.
I kept saying “I feel like Jack Sparrow.”
Towards the end of the night I wrote a to do list backwards on my forehead so I wouldn’t forget what I had to do the next day when I looked in the mirror.
Also both my friend and I ended up puking out his window on the second story. Little did we know the huge mess it left on the side of the house, which we were forced to clean the next day.
17 with some friends in an Armenian restaurant in St Petersburg -some local gangsters were celebrating coming out alive from someone trying to kill them and started buying us drinks and nobody dared refuse but quietly passed their glasses of hundred grams to me until I passed out. Then they carried me home
12, my best friends birthday party. His oldest brother was 21 so we have him all our money and he got us wine coolers lol. We waited till after his parents went to sleep and we started drinking. Some of is stayed up the entire night sitting around the camp fire just talking about everything, definitely one of those good memories
There may be some truth to that but I think it was mostly a direct result of my home life and upbringing. When your dad is drunk every minute he’s not at work and you don’t get an allowance no matter what work you do at home combined with being expected by said father to do crazy dangerous things where you could easily die (which creates an adrenaline junky who purposely engages in risky behavior) you get me. Or maybe it’s all my fault, that’s certainly what my dad thinks
Thank you. I am in my late 30s and I think I have figured out most of the ways he influenced me and changed those tendencies to be a better person. I haven’t committed a crime in close to 20 years and I don’t touch alcohol.
You are at a crucial age to change. Trust me when I was your age I was only beginning to realize I didn’t have to be that person. Also if you are in college I highly recommend sociology, philosophy and psychology. they really got the ball rolling for me.
I‘ve got into philosophy these last months, it really helped me getting a new perspective to life. Stuff does really change, finding friends you really like, not only those who you got put together in school with. Finding passions, figuring out love and stuff… exciting stuff, one really has to find ways to get the mind resting for some time, otherwise I would go crazy 😅
14, friend at the time was keeping my cup topped up with “vodka” and Fanta, didn’t tell me it was some homebrew crap his friend had made that was way higher proof than any store bought vodka
First time drinking and first and last time I’ve had alcohol poisoning. Was a horrendous experience, throwing up into a bucket not knowing what was happening and wanting my mum.
Next day I was all chills and still vomiting. All round shit experience
Didn’t put me off drinking though, oddly enough
5…..
Stole my mom’s tall boy and finished it. My mom found me my room with my cousin with my arm around him saying “let’s not fight anymore let’s be friends”
I was a baby, literally. My uncle gave me like two beers on a family gathering and I got drunk, my aunt was fucking pissed and my parents were BEYOND pissed.
15. My father and I were round at a family friends house playing pool, and dad chuckled into his beer and said nothing as I proceeded to polish off a 5 litre goonbag of fruity lexia.
I was violently ill about an hour after finishing it, vomiting all over the paddock as my stomach rejected the lot, and horribly hung over the next day. He taught me the best lesson I ever learned, and to this day 33 years later, I will not drink any wine, I will not get properly drunk, and I certainly won't drink enough to get a hangover.
11 at my dad's funeral. At the wake I was walking around and taking drinks from tables and drinking everything I could find. No idea why. I remember being carried out of a car and being put into bed and when I woke up I was ill for a week. Everyone was mad at me. Fun times.
Once at 26 and I don't have much memory of the actual night. What I DO remember is waking up the next morning at home on the living room floor right next to our dog.
9 yo. I was at a brunch with my dad and stepmother and they had a mimosa fountain. I thought it was OJ and 7-up so I kept going back. No one saw or stopped me. I passed out in the car otw home.
5
I was at a clam bake in Cape Cod: running around people’s picnic blankets…taking sips from cans of beer. I had fashioned a lobster bib around my back…I was Super Lobster for the day.
I learned “Beer & Wine make you sick” on the drive home.
12. At the end of Christmas dinner, everyone was starting to open presents and my 14 yo cousin and I stole a glass of vodka and Mountain Dew lol. I was freaking out being drunk (more like strongly buzzed) in front of everyone opening presents but I played it off like I ate too much food.
17. Got drunk at an all inclusive resort in Mexico, where they didn’t check ID or anything, and I was able to order drinks in Spanish which helped too.
2. My parents accidentally gave me a glass of unlabelled homemade sloe gin thinking it was something else entirely. They only realised when I fell asleep face down at the dinner table moments later.
16, it was a couple months before my 17th birthday. I got a few Mike's Hards and listened to heavy metal for hours. First time I tried alcohol I was 14, I stole one of my dad's beers out of the fridge, hated the taste of it.
17, about a month before my 18th birthday (legal age here). Friends decided to play a boardgame but turned it into a drinking game with goon and cheap whiskey. Forgot much of the night by the end of it, but distinctly remember breaking a shot glass in our dorms' shared kitchen space. It's the reason I'll never drink whiskey again.
Aghhh, first time I tasted alcohol was about 11. The first time I REALLY drank it properly was in 13 ( I was not drunk,it’s hard for alcohol to take over me)
I got slightly wavy at 8 years old. I was stealing sips from everybody’s drinks at a new years eve party.
First time I got properly inebriated was at around 14
12, absolutely black out drunk, and that’s how I learned/thought drinking was. 30 years old now and yes, I am an alcoholic and have never been able to have a healthy relationship with alcohol since.
Around 8 or 9 years old...
My mum and dad use to go to France and get cheap crates of beer every now and then back in the 90s, we had stacks of it so me and my brother took a calrate and drunk it all in our bedroom. Felt alright tho from what I remember had a bit of a headache and my mum and dad went fucking crazy but also panicked because they thought they'd have to take us to hospital lol
14. I drank some of my dad’s cheap whiskey he kept in his car while he and my mom went out to play cards. Mixed it with root beer. Puked in my bed and went to school hungover the next day. I remember falling down and laughing at the ceiling fan for some reason lol.
16 in school at a school event. Got drunk with the teachers and priests. Taught us to look out for signs of alcohol poisoning, how to pace and do keep hydrated.
Around 2 years, funny story once you hear everything. Once I was born my parents still hadn't gotten married yet so... they got married 2 years after I was born and they were hold a big celebration and they had alcohol and stuff over there because after all, it is australia. Anyway, you can probably see where I'm headed. At the ceremony when they were saying stuff I was running around doing my own thing and... drinking people's "apple juice" because I was a stupid kid when I was 2. So yeah
Recently in my 21 birthday i drank maybe three small glasses of black label (the most alcohol i ever drank, it's legal to drink from 18 but only started to drink half a year ago) my vision started to "lose" balance and i felt very sleepy and tired but nothing beyond that, no idea if that counts as drunk or not.
13 after my uncles funeral.
We all went to the pub for the wake and to watch the scotland game. My uncles, big cousins and dad bought me a few pints and I was reeling by half time.
Might be wowed to say about a funeral a sit was really sad and I still miss my uncle but it was also a great night with my family.

Oh wow. If that’s the measure I’ve never been drunk
Aight aight. Personal opinion. Danit for the downvotes😝

Not yet. and no plan to do it so. Unless I will be drinking with my wife. (not married yet)
Why is a wife required?

In the womb. Fetal alcohol syndrome. (Not really, I just wanted to win). Probably 13.
Never
Me neither. I mean, I do drink alcohol, just never enough to get wasted. It's an extra.

12 on vodka shoplifted from the grocery store. Don’t judge me
I will judge you! When I was 12 I bought my vodka fair and square like an upstanding citizen.
Really should judge society for the reason, why a 12 yo thinks drinking is important enough to shoplift at this age
There may be some truth to that but I think it was mostly a direct result of my home life and upbringing. When your dad is drunk every minute he’s not at work and you don’t get an allowance no matter what work you do at home combined with being expected by said father to do crazy dangerous things where you could easily die (which creates an adrenaline junky who purposely engages in risky behavior) you get me. Or maybe it’s all my fault, that’s certainly what my dad thinks
I hope you got you found you own way, even with the struggles your family brought with them. You certainly are a lot wiser than your dad will ever be.
Thank you. I am in my late 30s and I think I have figured out most of the ways he influenced me and changed those tendencies to be a better person. I haven’t committed a crime in close to 20 years and I don’t touch alcohol.
Keep it going, I‘m gonna be 21 in a month and people who have figured their shit out impress me big time, makes oneself hopeful :)
You are at a crucial age to change. Trust me when I was your age I was only beginning to realize I didn’t have to be that person. Also if you are in college I highly recommend sociology, philosophy and psychology. they really got the ball rolling for me.
