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!

Cheap lager. I don’t drink it now as it gives me a wicked hangover. Still like a vodka & coke though from time to time (how was it 50p for a double?!)

Peach Concorde, blu bols mixed with orange so it went fluorescent green, k cider, black tower wine, cider and black.

Used to love Cointreau and lemonade until one particularly heavy sesh where I woke up the next day with my head down the toilet. Never again!

bluebump · 16/09/2018 20:19

Cider, which I don’t tough these days. Plus bottles of Smirnoff Moscow Mule which I don’t know if they still make but I probably would drink.

bluebump · 16/09/2018 20:21

*touch I should have said.

ChipsAndKetchup · 16/09/2018 20:21

Cointreau and lemonade by the bucket load.
Jack Daniels on the rocks.
Bacardi and coke.
Mmmmmmmm Grin

Yogafailure · 16/09/2018 20:32

Peach schnapps and lemonade barf

Cinzano and lemonade.

Taboo remember that and lemonade.

I couldn't stomach any of these now but they were easy to drink/didn't taste like drink/were cheap 🙌🏼

JiltedJohnsJulie · 16/09/2018 20:36

Rose Martini and Lemonade or an occasional half a Guinness and black.

anniehm · 16/09/2018 20:37

Malibu and Coke, still like it but can't drink caffeine so only occasionally at home if I have caffeine free coke. My daughters are pretty keen on it. Now days I tend to drink beer (ruby/amber ideally), dry white wine or vodka and slimline - assuming I'm not driving (but I usually am)

Pixie2015 · 16/09/2018 20:40

This is a taboo subject for me 😜 think I may vomit if I smelt it now

Benjaminbuttonschild · 16/09/2018 20:42

Malibu and coke at 18.

Prefer G&T these days

MrsTommyBanks · 16/09/2018 20:46

Malibu and pineapple. Archers and lemonade.
And many, many tequila shots.
Couldn't touch any of them now.

Benjaminbuttonschild · 16/09/2018 20:46

I also used to like double Vodka and Red Bull. Wouldn't touch that shit nowadays

Iloveacurry · 16/09/2018 20:48

Diamond White 😂

Longdistance · 16/09/2018 20:49

Bacardi and coke
Smirnoff Moscow mules
Malibu and pineapple juice

NorthernRunner · 16/09/2018 20:53

Lambrini 🤢🤢🤢

I now drink lime and soda water haha 🤣 I’m 30

itssquidstella · 16/09/2018 20:55

I think I was mainly still on alcopops at 18. Switched to JD (and coke or neat) at uni because I thought it made me look cool 😎

Now I like a nice glass of wine or three

FuckNuggets · 16/09/2018 20:55

Smirnoff Mule, Diamond White or a Bacardi Breezer. 🤢

Now I like a Bacardi occasionally but prefer it with Diet Coke. My drink of choice these days is white wine 🍷.

Belindabauer · 16/09/2018 20:56

Pernod and black, no way would i touch it now, makes me feel ill thinking about it.

itbemay · 16/09/2018 20:57

Southern comfort and lemonade, still drink it now Smile

Nogodsnomasters · 16/09/2018 20:57

Smirnoff ice and fat frog. Don't drink either anymore, I stick to cocktails or light beer but I'm not much of a drinker at all, only a few times a year on special occasions.

DesertCactus · 16/09/2018 20:59

Bicardi and coke
Southern comfort and lemonade
Only drink wine now.

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 16/09/2018 21:06

Alcopops hadn't been invented so...
Vodka and lime
Vodka and orange
Cinzano and lemonade (classy!)
Babycham
Snowball
Woodpecker cider
Snakebite
Lager top

These days it's gin and tonic, white wine spritzer or prosecco.

QueenOfIce · 16/09/2018 21:59

Black Russian with a Guinness top was the last drink of the night and would ensure I was arseholed. No way could I drink like that now!

Pony - advertised as the little drink with the big kick, a sort of sherru
Barley wine - strong beer
Pils lager - it had a green foil top and was strong
Port and lemon - sounded good but it wasn't
