When you were 18 what was your choice of drink?

And would you still drink it now? What's your drink of choice today? I liked Taboo, Malibu and Smirnoff ice. None of them I'd go near now!

Now I like an occasional Disaronno other than that it's a cup of tea, I'm only 40!

Cider and black. Then onto lime Bacardi Breeder. Was devastated when they discontinued it.

AgentProvocateur · 16/09/2018 19:14

I’m showing my age - bezique and lemonade!

TeaByTheSeaside · 16/09/2018 19:14

Malibu and pineapple 😁

OldSchoolPhotograph · 16/09/2018 19:14

Newcastle Brown Ale or Guinness.

I don't drink at all now.

BumDisease · 16/09/2018 19:21

Archers and lemonade. Far too sweet for me now!

I LOVED bacardi breezers. And the different varieties of Red Square... I remember the pink one being nice?

I used to get into the students union witj my fake student ID card and drink midouri 😣😣

AuntieStella · 16/09/2018 19:24

Fairly rough (ie cheap) cider

And when I was feeling flush, red witch (Pernod, black and cider)

Just typing that has brought the taste back to me. Perhaps I need to try it again. I haven't drunk it for years!!

BumDisease · 16/09/2018 19:24

I had a very brief midori phase. Then I realised it was rotten.

Bluebell93 · 16/09/2018 19:28

When I was 16-17 it was any alcohol available, white wine & lemonade, cheap vodka & coke, wkd blue, rum & coke...

Once 18 it was vodka & coke/lemon & lime/cranberry. Or Malibu & coke at times.

I really fancy a vodka & coke now.

PavlovaFaith · 16/09/2018 19:50

Probably something disgusting in a bottle that was strawpeedo'd 😖

MawkishTwaddle · 16/09/2018 19:53

K cider.

Straight whisky.

WKD Blue.

Peach schnapps.

Newcy Brown.

Murphy's Stout.

Yup. Total pisshead.

MyNameIsNotSteven · 16/09/2018 19:53

Malibu or Archers and Coke.

CheeseTheDay · 16/09/2018 19:53

Archers and orange juice - I can't even stomach the smell of Archers now though.

autumnboys · 16/09/2018 19:55

Cider & black at the pub, drunk by the pint, to the almost anthropological interest of my now-in laws when I met them for the first time aged 19.

Thunderbird for house parties.
Copious amounts of very dry white wine at home.

I still like dry white, haven’t even considered the other two for many a long year.

goose1964 · 16/09/2018 19:56

Brain's dark and yes I would

INeedNewShoes · 16/09/2018 19:57

White Martini and lemonade

I wouldn't drink it now - far too sweet!

AbbieLexie · 16/09/2018 19:58

Cointreau & Babycham; Cider; Snakebite; Guiness. I feel squeamish just writing this down but it was a long, long time ago.

Cleanermaidcook · 16/09/2018 19:59

Pint of snakebite
Coirvoisier if I was being posh

Now red wine or Jim beam

NobodyToVoteForNow · 16/09/2018 20:01

Southern Comfort and lemonade (from Wetherspoons) because it tasted like Jelly Babies. I could probably manage one nowadays but no more. Way too sweet.

chickhonhoneybabe · 16/09/2018 20:04

Woodpecker cider (1/2 pint not a pint), archers and lemonade (still like that now), wkd (couldn’t drink too many as too sickly after a bit) same with Smirnoff ice, and hooch. Had a bad experience with southern comfort and lemonade and haven’t touched that since passing out in the pub toilet and having to be carried home...

Drinks nowadays are prosecco, rose cava, gin and tonic, rose wine and if I go out I end up on the archers and lemonade towards the end of the night

IWouldLikeToKnow · 16/09/2018 20:06

Bottle of Budweiser. 25 hrs ago. Wouldn't turn my nose up at it now, although haven't had one in many years.

MadhousMom59 · 16/09/2018 20:07

A snowball.

Daffodils78 · 16/09/2018 20:08

Reefs, WKD and TVR's (tequila vodka red bulls) or pitchers of woo woo.
I would drink pre mixed woo woos or WKD but never an open drink or pitcher after being spiked when I was younger. Would rather a Kopparberg or blush wine now tbh, but I don't think I knew they existed back then

IndigoApple · 16/09/2018 20:09

DD(18) discovered Bacardi Breezers in Magaluf this year. Apparently you can't get them here any more.

MadhousMom59 · 16/09/2018 20:10

And a leg over., haha a drink. Cherry b and cider.
