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!

I remember drinking these alchopops they'd be too sweet now though

Taboo and lemonade
Malibu and pineapple

Passmethecrisps · 16/09/2018 22:25

Martini and lemonade. Cost £1.02

Then I moved onto pints of lager or cider and black at uni.

Archers Aqua!! I'd forgotten about them... the raspberry ones were the tits. I can still taste it now...

CarolDanvers · 16/09/2018 22:29

Loved Archers Aqua, Raspberry and Green Apple were the best ❤️

CarolDanvers · 16/09/2018 22:31

Peach and Cranberry only purchased when the other flavours weren't available.

Swizzlegiggle · 16/09/2018 22:38

I'm feeling a wave of nostalgia reading this thread although I'd never be able to drink these now.
Strongbow and lots of it.
Snakebite and black
Remember the first drink I ever bought under age was 20/20 and I sat in the park with my mates drinking it. Truly awful drink Envy

Swizzlegiggle · 16/09/2018 22:40

And Aftershock! For when it was nearly last orders and I wanted to get as much alcohol in as possible.

SendYouUpInFlames · 16/09/2018 23:46

Vodka with fresh orange.

Now, mainly wine. Vodka with O.J when having a proper drink. But that's very rare.

ZenNudist · 16/09/2018 23:51

Alcoholic lemonade
Bacardi breezers
Diamond zest and diamond white
Vodka and orange / coke

Urgh

ZenNudist · 16/09/2018 23:53

SwordToFlamethrower · 16/09/2018 23:58

Half a lager. Or special red 8.4%

LuckyLuckyLuckyMe · 17/09/2018 00:04

Archers and orange juice
Malibu and pineapple juice
Jack Daniels and coke
Southern Comfort and coke
Tenents (sp?) extra
Newcastle Brown ale
I think there's more but I can't remember.

Now it's gin, red wine and the odd cocktail (especially if there's elderflower involved).

LuckyLuckyLuckyMe · 17/09/2018 00:05

Ooh just remembered hooch and Bacardi breezers.

TheFluffyHippo · 17/09/2018 01:58

Anything I could get my hands on! My favourites were vodka & lemonade and lots of sambuca

I don’t drink at all these days

LostPlatypus · 17/09/2018 02:34

Bacardi Breezers for me too (pref the lemon one).

Today, I don't really drink tbh. I'd like to try some of the interesting looking ciders you get in the summer though (not pear ones though - they're grim).

LinoleumBlownapart · 17/09/2018 03:17

Moscow Mule sometimes. I used to get cat's piss on a gooseberry bush wine and Jacobs Creek. I didn't like sweet drinks.

Now I drink either dry red wine or cachaça, water and a squeeze of lemon. Sweet drinks make me feel ill.

StarfishSandwich · 17/09/2018 03:56

Jaegerbombs, vodka and Diet Coke, an assortment of vile and unusual shots, Smirnoff ice... Envy

I’m only 26 but more than a glass of wine feels excessive now!

StarfishSandwich · 17/09/2018 03:58

Oh god yeah rum and coke! That’s a thing!

For house parties - Weston’s Cider. Probably the only thing on my list I’d still drink now!
