Over 40, been a beer lover for 20 years. Haven’t been drunk yet, no plans to. I love beer, but I hate the idea of a hangover. 1 cup of water for every drink, and it hasn’t failed me yet.

2. Little me waddled around the house when there was a party. Parents didn’t look for like a minute and I found empty beer bottles and tried the last drops in them. Turns out it doesn’t take a lot of beer to get a 2 year old drunk. Slept very well afterwards.

I think 21. Had zero idea what the fuck I was doing. Pretty dangerous, in retrospect.

Never. Am 38 currently.

14 as well. I used to play in a marching band as a kid and we traveled abroad for a couple concerts over a long weekend: picture an unsupervized child surrounded by enabling adults in Southern Germany with access to free beer for one night.
I drank almost 3 liters of beer (yeah German beer is better than any other, sorry), got escorted to my hotel room by our town mayor, where I proceeded to expel my soul via esophagus and… March and play on the morning of the next day.
I was right in front of the bass drum.
20 years later I can steel feel every hit like a clear pain deep in my skull bones.

Did you have a hangover for hours the next day which made it difficult to watch the Superbowl?

First drink? 19

First time actually drunk? 21

Last time drunk? 29

Number of times actually drunk: 3 I find it really an unpleasant feeling and not just the hangover. Being drunk and not having complete control of my body, the weird fog in my brain. Yuck… Couple that with the hangover the next day, it’s just not worth it for me. I never saw the point of going out with a group of friends to just get “wasted”.

Current Age: 54 and I enjoy 1 to 2 glasses of wine at dinner with my wife around 3 or 4 times a month. Once in a great while I’ll get a 6 pack of beer. Usually when a local brewery has their Dark Doppleboch out.

18 almost 19. Keystone light or miller genuine draft, soccer team house party in college

Probably 16

18 I think. We were much more interested in weed and LSD.

As per the local law, 21, though it was just me sampling drinks for my birthday. I ended up being one of the few who hated the feeling.

I’m in my mid 30s and have never been drunk before. I don’t like how alcohol tastes and drinking it doesn’t really add much value for me. The only alcoholic beverages I do like are Baileys, Pisang Ambon (mixed with 7up/Sprite), white chocolate liquor and Tokkelroom. Recently discovered Salmari and I like that as well. I very rarely drink any of that, though, and when I do it’s like one glass at most. Tokkelroom though…I like it so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point I ended up eating all of that in one go.

On my 21st every guy at the bar got me a different shot.

I don’t remember much but I made it home and turned myself inside out.

I didn’t want to get too drunk ever again

I’ll let you know when/if it happens.

I was too uncool to ever be in a binge drinking peer pressure situation and have yet to find an alcoholic drink I actually like the taste of, so I’ve never managed to drink enough in one sitting to feel any significant effects.

Don’t get me wrong: I want to like cocktails, as all the flavor combinations seem pretty interesting. It’s just that whenever I actually try one, I’m disappointed by how the bitter taste of the alcohol ruins whatever else is going on in the drink.
