First Beer Buzz

[sudbuster]

OK, what was the first beer you got buzzed on.

Mine was Little Kings Cream Ale.

It was in 1957 when i lifted 1/2 case of Lucky Lager from my uncle's stash. Went over to "park" with my steady. We proceded to get snokered. HMMM come to think of it, that was when virginity became a thing of the past.......

 

[magno]

Miller Light I believe. My buddy Richard's dad kept it in the garage fridge. We took them to the woods where we hung out. By the time they got opened they were warm. We were 12 or 13.

I used to race sailboats with Richard and his dad. Richard's dad never let us drink ... until Richard stopped racing with us. Sam Adams sponsored some of the regattas and the beer was free at the award ceremonies. That old man got me trashed. That still chaps Richards ass.

the first time I ever went out drinking with the guys I was 17 and finished off 2 40s of St. Ides. needless to say I passed the hell out

 

[WOP31]

First time I drank was on some of my Aunts Scotch,and yes it was cheap scotch, the first beer I drank was Michelob light. Ah.. Way to hash up some old memories Pastor, I haven't thought about that in a long time, Good Times, Good Times.

Cheers

 

[Philip1993]

Michelob for me. About 13...

First beer I drank was Genny Light. That was all the old man drank before he quit.

First time I was buzzed, it was some brand of malt liquor whose name escapes me. Thing is, we were "crusing" Main Street, had the bottle between my legs, and within five minutes had gotten pulled over by the cops - but I managed to get the bottle stashed and he never noticed.

For my first REAL drunks, I am ashamed to admit that I stole a sh*tload of wine from my (unfortunately, alcoholic) grandfather. There are certain types of wine, certain wines that are more buttery, that still make me a bit weezy when I drink them. I distinctly remember sitting on the ground with my buddy, taking a big swig from the bottle, saying "damn, this is disgusting," then taking another swig. Oh, that and cheap whiskey.

 

[TheJadedDog]

Molson Ice, it was totally a fad when I was in high school and we drank a s**t ton of it.

 

[King of the Swill]

Old Style when I was about 12. We would drink whatever we could "find" in those days. My friend's Grandpa used to drink Old Milwaukee and we would take a couple each and ride our bikes to under a bridge and drink warm beer. What a cool feeling that was riding your bike home with a real good buzzzzz.

 

[Hell Brew]

Shiner Bock, I refused to drink BMC. I think I was like 15, I smoked more pot than drank. Weed never made me throwup.:fro: Now it is just beer.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

Bud Ice right after it came out. I thought it was nasty back then but had nothing to compare it to. Turns out I couldn't have been more correct.

That is what everyone always wanted to get kegs of because it had "more alcohol". We could have just gotten a double IPA.

barking at the ants.

LMAO. Classic...never heard that one before.

 

[Jim Karr]

Went to the drive-in movies with some guys in high school, '71 I think. We had 16 ounce Budweiser in cans. I hammered down two of them in very short order.

In very short order I was the one hammered. I got out of the car, began to puke my brains out, and the security guards for the theatre spotted me.

He made us dump all our beer on the ground and leave the theatre. Needless to say, I was not the most popular guy in the group that night.

I woke up with my very first (and very worst) hangover. I don't think my parents noticed, even though I wasn't much help that next day.

What fun!

My Dad and his partner would always forget about the extra Miller High Life in the back of his truck, we would hide them under his boat for about three hot summer days and then drink them. Finally figured to put them in outside freezer and then enjoy them He would drink Canadian Club in winter.

 

[Evets]

Two Black Labels along with at least one good belt outa everything my old man had in the cupboard. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I was very wrong about that.

 

[Cheesefood]

MGD a few times in HS. Didn't really drink till sophomore year of college, and my first night getting drunk was on Miller Lite. Got into craft brew pretty quickly, when I could afford it.

 

[Chris_Dog]

Back when I was a kid living in Atlanta. You could not sell Coors beer east of the Mississippi River (al la Smokey and the Bandit). Dad on a business trip brought several cases home. A Friend and I stole enough to get buzzed, I was about 10. (mmm warm Coors!) However this was not the first time I ever had beer. I used to get "sippies" of dads Bud.
I have never bought Coors or Coors light. I recall that I didn't like the taste even then. (But I did like Bud) silly isn't it!
Thank you for this thread I haven't thought about this for years!

 

[Steiner]

Natural Ice- cheapest you can find in the neighborhood. Still 30 pk for about 14.

 

[chainsawbrewing]

i was about 8 years old. my cousin was about 11 years old. we were at my other cousins house (his older brother) and there was some budwieser cans in the fridge. i remember having to hold my nose, and take quick, small gulps, followed by huge gasps of air just to get it down. i also remember thinking to myself, "man, how can people actually drink this stuff," thinking that beer truly was an acquired taste, later on i realised that it was just because it was budwieser.

 

[denimglen]

The first beer buzz I ever got was from my own homebrew at 17 haha.

I used to just drink spirits or cider, got my homebrew set up to make cider, made the beer kit that came with it first and that got my started on my love for beer.

For a cheap 'lager' kit and kilo it wasn't too bad but my beer experience was nil so I wouldn't have known at the time.

 

[pjj2ba]

I can't remember the brand. All I remember was it was a 40 oz bottle, maybe Bud. One of our gang of friends had a much older sister. It got to be a little bit of a habit. We'd pile into my car, drive to the neighboring town, pick up the beers, slam them and then go to the movies.

 

[rflem550]

Natural Light + Early Times

 

[RichBrewer]

Coors of course!
I think I was about 15.

 

[rdwj]

Mine was from a keg at a party in HS - I assume it was Miller Lite since that's pretty much the beer of choice in my part of the world. Honestly, I wasn't much of a beer drinker until my 30s.

 

[Lost Pirate]

Coors, I think I was about 10 or 11.

 

[krispy d]

Ah, my 9th birthday, my parents bought my friend and I a twelve of MGD. We proceeded to kill it while hanging out in our travel trailer. The next day we had to clean out all the puke... to this day we don't know which one of us did the puking but we shared the clean up duties.

 

[Ol' Grog]

I guess Miller was popular a while, I mean, a WHILE ago. But, that's what it was too. Miller Pony Bottles, remember those? And like others, I still kind of like that beer. It was a cool experience though. My dad was a drinker and I had mentioned that my buds wanted to drink some beer. So, he called up the parents and got their permission. We had a trailer in the back yard so he let us set up camp there. He took everybodies car keys and got us a cooler full of Miller ponies. Of course, dear ol' Dad helped us drink it, but it was kind of cool. That's when I understood the meaning of drinking responsibly. We all got pretty smashed that night and I remember the hangover. Not as bad as now, 25 years later. That was around 1979.

Ahh what a great thread this is. My first buzz was from Lord Calvert that someone left at one of the huge Halloween parties my parents used to have at their house. I doubt I was older than 10. Those parties must have been huge, but I don't know because they always made me stay with my grandmother that night, but the house was always messed up like crazy when I went back home and it wasn't uncommon for many bottle of liquor to be accidentally left there. They quit having these parties after they owned a bar in our small town because it would have been stupid to have it at the house rather than the bar and take away your own business.

First beer buzz was probably Budweiser when I was about 14. Never liked it, but liked the buzz. Eventually I developed a taste for it though, I remember my later years in high school thinking that a Budweiser in a bottle was the greatest thing ever. Now I think it sucks after discovering real beer.

 

[Glibbidy]

Moosehead, I was around 13.

 

[sullifan]

It was either Burgie (GREAT mascot- The Old Pro!) or my Dad's homebrew. Early to mid 50's, so the homebrewery was a bathtub in the basement, w/Blue Ribbon extract, and Red Star yeast. I was too little to remember, but everyone else does! My brother knew how to open the bottles so we had some. Lotsa barf and sleep! Gotta love drinking parents! I do remember, from a little later, that that HB was very good. But so were ALL the sips I used to get.
