Beer. Or rather whatever the fuck Old English is.

Mine was scrumpy jack cider too! I got a glass "keg" for my mates house party, and then basically drank the whole thing myself nervously as I had no idea how to talk to people that I didn't know

I'll let you know if I ever break.

Probably Strongbow at a house party when I was 14.

With friends? some Belgian beers I swiped from my parents and shared with my friends. I think it was Westmalle Dubbel.

And yes, I already knew not to drink the sediment 😂

50cl of vodka when I was 13

Goldschlager, with gold-flecked cinnamon vomit afterwards.

Not sure if this counts as it was "friend" not "friends".

I was in college and a friend of mine who I grew up with had her mom's house to herself for 4th of July weekend so she threw a party. No alcohol at the party, but I was invited to stay after the party ended with just her.

She brought out the alcohol she had purchased from a friend who knew someone old enough to buy liquor. There were a few different bottles, but I mostly remember a large plastic bottle of Joaquin's white rum that we mixed with orange juice. It was terrible.

We had sex that night for the first time. Been together well over a decade and married for close to a decade.

US Army, winter 1996. Just got onto base, pretty fresh from BASIC. I open my barracks door and McBride (RIP brother) says "Here, drink this!" with his devlish grin, blocking my entry and holding a shot glass of some clear liquid. 18-year-old private me swigged it down and nearly choked on the shot.

"WTF is this?", I asked, gasping and choking.

"Everclear!" he said joyfully, moving away from the door while I gagged, challenge completed.

I passed his...test?... and I was in the friend group.
