What was the first drink you ever ordered in the pub?

[Facilitatingdarkness]

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.

Half a carling and lime!

Bacardi and Coke, I was 12

Vodka and orange juice.

Half a lager and lime.

I was 14 and lived 3 doors down from the pub, so the landlord knew my age and gave no shits (1974)

Long vodka or half a pint of cider was the pub drink of most teen girls when I looked old enough to be served.

I think my first drink was a snowball though 😄

Probably a long vodka and thinking I was the height of sophistication

I also drank snakebite and black 😂

I also ordered MadDog 20/20..... 🤢

Plain Cinzano. I was fourteen and thought myself very sophisticated!

Me too! Although I didn't realise how strong it was and got very, very drunk

Probably a Bacardi Breezer of some kind. Used to like the pineapple one and ?blackcurrant, that tasted like old school cough mixture. I don't think I've drunk an alcopop for over 15 years now!

Archers and lemonade aged 15.

Archers and lemonade on my 18th birthday. The barman misheard and gave me an orange juice and lemonade. I was too embarrassed to say anything. (Lots of people bought me drinks later though.)

Cinzano & lemonade, aged 13 in Lords Wine Bar in Southport. I thought that it was the absolute height of sophistication, we sat in the window looking down at everyone going past. It’s Waterstones now, when I go past with my 2 teenagers who are usually complaining about me being old & past it, I sneak a little glance & think if only they knew about my misspent youth.

Sweet martini and lemonade. I was 16 and someone had ordered it a book I was reading so I just said that. I actually still quite like it - it reminds me of Christmas and feeling grown up!

Malibu and coke. It was 2005 I think.

Half a pint of Double Diamond.

Vodka lime when I was around 14. No idea why - it was just what we ordered back then.

Think it was a pint of cider at my local along with drinks for my parents. So a glass of wine and a pint. Don't know if I paid dad might have given me the cash but I certainly ordered.

Sweet cider.

I am from Texas and when I was 16, I traveled to London.
I was the youngest in my group of friends, they were 18 and 19-year-olds, and the first thing they wanted to do was go to the pub because the drinking age is 21 in the US.
I ordered a half-pint of bitter which was vile but drank it anyways. I just remember that there was a list of every drink they served with prices. I may have had pretty much the entire list. The "creme de menthe" was particularly memorable. Ugh.
I didn't drink again until I was 23!

Red witch, I was 15 and very drunk that night..

Half a lager and lime, after the occasional Christmas snowball or babycham at home! I also quite liked cinzano/ martini (marking myself out as a child of the 70s/80s!!) I remember when I started uni me and my best friend practised really hard to learn to like lager on its own so we didn't have to pay the 10p for a dash of lime

Cider and black

Toblerone flavour vodka shot on the day I got my gcse results

It was a bizarre pub in egham that is now a McDonald's that had around 30 different flavours of vodka

Aged 15- vodka and coke Night out with older cousins that my mum had no idea about as I was being looked after by their parents. Had quite a few in several pubs and a club and not once was I asked for ID (and I didn't look or dress that old).

Sixth form- regular order was a pint of bitter. I had moved to the SE from the midlandsNorth and rather proud of my 'Northern heritage'. I was also keen to distance myself from anything too 'girlie'. I though this drink choice demonstrated my image perfectly which of course it did, as a pretentious twat
