How old were you when you first got drunk?

Really drunk? I don't think ever. I got pretty damn tipsy and acted really drunk the first time I had alcohol (at age 25), but there was no hangover from it, so I assume it was mostly a placebo effect.
 
I first got drunk at 17. I was only a couple months off being of legal drinking age.

I don't think I have had an alcoholic drink for more than 10 years. I haven't been drunk for about 20 years. My sons have only ever seen me tipsy once but my eldest has turned that one incident into a "Mum is a raging alcoholic and that is the reason why I am" excuse. My other two sons tell him that he is fucking stupid to say that.

Not necessarily. Some people just don't get as hungover as others. Some people never get hungover no matter how drunk they get.

As one of 3 sons, I can safely say raising that many boys must be a bitch. :D
 
About 10, my parents let me have some schnapps in Austria, and I got really dizzy and liked it. So when we got back, my parents had a dinner party, and I sneaked into the room after everyone had gone and polished off all the left over wine and got really smashed.

Never looked back, I LOVE wine :D
 
The first time I drank enough to be tipsy, I think I was 17. The first (and only) time I would say I was drunk was when I was maybe 20 or 21. I don't really remember. It was down in Hartford at the Protean, and my friend made some unusually strong screwdrivers. :rommie:

It was, especially as my ex left me when the youngest was only 16 months old (the eldest was 6 years old). They have not seen their father since.

Two of the three have turned out OK.
 
A few weeks before I turned 21. I had never had a drink and wanted the "thrill" of drinking under-aged while I still could. I was probably more buzzed than drunk. The first time I got drunk enough as to not remember certain things clearly was when I was a few months shy of 22. I'm proud to say I've never gotten drunk to the point of being sick.
 
^
I have been drunk to the point of being sick & blacking out...that is the worse...never wanna black out again.

Within the last few years the most I can get is buzzed.
 
Wow. I've gotten sick from drinking a few times, but never blacked out or even lost bits of memory. In fact, the times I was uber drunk are the ones I tend to remember very clearly. Probably because I had most fun then.
 
13 at a Bar Mitzvah.

During the times when I am really smashed; I can sort of piece together a night the day after. When I was in Vegas last month, I was quite surprised when my friends told me where we were the night before as I had remembered being at the place, but not having any idea of where I was.
 
Let's see... First drink would have been around 12 or 13. First time drunk, really really drunk would have been 19. Then from year 21 to 22, I don't really have any memories because I was drunk more than sober. :(
 
^ Same here. Fifteen was a magical year for me. I got tanked for the first time at a high school theater party, started smoking full time and made the honor roll for three out of four semesters.
 
27 and counting. I'd go so far as to say that if you put the total quantity and proof of all the alcohol that I've ever consumed in front of me and I chugged it, I'd probably still not be drunk.
 
I never touched any drugs outside of caffeine until I was in my mid-20s. 25 I think? I actually smoked pot before I ever had a drink. Drinking came shortly thereafter. I was in a garage band at the time and it just seemed like a part of the lifestyle. Now I'm back to just the caffeine again, except for cigarettes, which I'm trying to quit.

I'll still drink socially given the right opportunity but my alcohol as a lifestyle days are over with.
 
Another stupid, random question by me. :lol:

So how old were you when you first got drunk? If you haven't gotten drunk say your age anyways. Also if you have stopped drinking, brag about it because getting drunk really isn't worth it.

I was 24, it was 3 weeks ago and the headache lasted a week.

haha lightweight:lol:

For me: probably around 17-18.
 
I can't remember clearly, but likely around 20. I drank before then, but never to excess.

I've only been really drunk twice, both were during periods of intense pressure and relationshipo problems. The last time I blacked out and can't remember some parts of that night. A terrible feeling.

Mostly, I play very safe with booze, and am just buzzed....if that.
