Mine was a (very much under age) visit to the King James Wetherspoons in Cheshunt. I ordered a massive hug of woo woo. It was grim. Grin

I don't remember it, but I think it was probably half a lager. I would have been 16, in the days when you'd get served as long as you behaved.

Vodka and lime. I was 14.

Doggiedementia · 11/09/2021 08:12

Vodka and white.

Pint of Guinness. I was 17 and a half.

Barley Wine as that's what my Grandmother drunk 🤢

MrsPumpkinSeed · 11/09/2021 08:20

Half a lager but I remember having babycham Grin my parents bought me one.

backtoschoolagainagain · 11/09/2021 08:20

Southern Comfort and Coke (boak!) or Cointreau and orange.

I was 14 and this was in the days before alcopops! Unless you count Thunderbirds (blue or red label!) or MD2020 (double boak!)

Thankfully I moved on to lager, cider and snake bite and black fairly quickly!

KatyaZamolodchikova · 11/09/2021 08:21

A watermelon Bacardi Breezer. I was 16.

furbabymama87 · 11/09/2021 08:22

Who remembers white lightning?

There was a pub near that had white lightening on tap, I kid you not! Classy! Shock

Closed and replaced with flats these days.

Watermelon Bacardi Breezers nearly killed me on New Year's Eve 1998. I can still smell them now

Runrigdan · 11/09/2021 08:23

Vodka and lime cordial! No idea how we decided on that one.

KittenKong · 11/09/2021 08:23

Probably vodka. I was in a quiet pub in Glasgow and 2 police officers came in...(you can imagine!) They went to the bar to speak to the barman, turned around, looked at me and a transvestite who was also sitting there (he had been asking me where I got my earrings - red evening gown on a weekday afternoon...). They just smiled and left.

Toastytoads · 11/09/2021 08:23

Anyone remember Reef?

TheLovelinessOfDemons · 11/09/2021 08:24

Bacardi and Coke from the bar of the theatre where I was on YTS. The staff knew I was underage. Actually, fizzy orange in Ireland, because it was legal for kids to order from the bar there. I was 9. I felt very grown up.

StandardLampski · 11/09/2021 08:24

Vodka and coke
Although it was little bottles of coke, so we shared a couple between a few mates. But too strong 🥴

CMOTDibbler · 11/09/2021 08:25

Half of shandy, or a bitter top I think - underage and at the sports club someone would buy you that.

Noshowwithoutpunch · 11/09/2021 08:25

Diamond white aged 13.
