Oh man, good question. I don't think I remember?!? I do remember me, my cousin and these three brothers hanging out. Funny thing was the three guys were triplets, so I saw six of them. :D I do remember that it was some cheap beer lol.
 
I was in junior high and my buddy's dad used to drink Pig's Eye.

Ugh, I get nauseous thinking about it. :drunk:
 
I'm pretty sure it would have been Busch light. It's the drink of choice in NE IA. Sure am glad I've grown up :D
 
I can't remember my first beer buzz.

I drank a ton of Mickey's Malt Liquor my first time in college. We would beer bong it with a shot of Southern Comfort. If I tried that now, I would probably die.
 
New Years Eve 1985. 16 Years old at a party the guy had Lowenbraugh (sp) in a pony keg. First real drunk was Kesslers. Puked in the front law on the nice cool grass. Never mix Kesslers and french onion chip dip :cross:
 
My first beer buzz was from corona during a new years party when I was 17. Someone stole them all from the back of a grocery store, and I think we had 12 cases that got thrown in the bathtub of a hotel room with ice. I must have drank about a dozen, and never got sick, but felt terrible the next day. I guess it was a pretty good first drunk night.
 
Just that. No light, ice or whatever in the 70's (Ummm, 77 I think). A new chick moved into the neighborhood from the city (NY) and these country boys were trying to impress her. Somehow we got a case and everyone got a 6'r. Drank em all and before I knew it she was gone somewhere. We stumbled around and fell in the lake, John lost his shoes somewhere. John had a paper route and the chick's mom drove us around in the back of her pickup delivering papers. Burping foam and puking a little the whole way while dropping papers onto people's driveways. Had to wash out the back of her truck the next day.
 
You're kidding, right??? I can't remember yesterday, much less 30 some-odd years ago. I'll take a wild stab and say Augsburger, warm. That's what my dad drank in his later years and he never refridgerated it.
 
My mom still tells a story about when I was 5... My babysitter walked into the kitchen to find me slurping the last of a 16oz bottle (stroh's I think) with a straw. The babysitter exclaimed "what are you doing?!" and I replied candidly "I felt like having a beer". When my mom got home she said I was ripping drunk :drunk:

As for the first buzz I remember, that would be old milwaukee. We used to save our lunch money to buy a case of old mud on the weekend. A special thanks goes out to those 21 y/o folks who bought it for us. :mug:
 
Bud @ 14 yrs and it was nasty; thank God homebrewing didn't occur to me. I would have never left the house.

Mine was Miller High Life, I was in the 5th grade and on an overnight camping trip with the boy scouts.
Glad someone else had that experience.... My first drink was vodka out of a water bottle on a boy scout camping trip :D with about 10 of us sharing maybe 2 shots worth, it didn't do much. My first buzz wasn't until college when I polished off 1/2 a bottle of 151 my first night in town. I have learned to keep the volumes down since then....
 
I didn't get buzzed off of beer until I was well past the drinking age. I tried it a few times in high school and college but couldn't stand it to drink more than half a can and at 200+ lbs thats not going to do much. The little bit I did drink was usually some kind of liquor or mixed drink.
I'm not sure exactly when it was but I'm fairly sure it was at a brewpub in Massachusetts when I was living up there, where I just had to try several different beers. 16oz craft beers add up real quick. :drunk:

My first was Olympia. But, this thread reminded me of all the crazy cheap beer I used to drink in high school including, Rhinelander, Tuborg, Hamms (or even better Hamms Dry), Raineer, Lucky Lager. Gotta say that I had a real affinity for the Hamms in the short grenade bottles.
 
I got buzzed off of good old Rainier Beer when I was 10. We were at our cabin on the Wenatchee river. Man I thought it tasted good! Must have been those Artesians!! :)
 
Someone told me once if you can remember the first time you got drunk and on what you probably have a drinking problem.

food for thought.



how is that for being high and mighty.










btw......coors light........i was 16
