What should my first alcoholic drink be?

I recently turned 18, and that's the drinking age here in Australia. I've put off drinking any kind of alcohol up until this point, and now I want to go all out.

I'm thinking of trying the white russian first, it sounds like it tastes nice.

The tonic makes the arsenic safe to drink.

You'll probably dislike a lot of hard liquors at first, they're pretty much an acquired taste. I didn't like beer the first time I tried it either.

Mixed drinks are a good way to go. Long Island iced tea is good cuz it'll fuck you up decently and still be tasty. A good white wine or a cider
is an enjoyable start to drink as well.

I personally don't like White Russians, not much of a fan of dairy and alcohol together, although it is a pretty looking drink. But tell us OP, what are your tastes? Do you like sweet, bitter, sour?

Thanks. I'm told by my friends that beer tastes like yeast. At least, Heineken does, and I'm guessing so does Corona since they say Corona tastes like Heineken. I'm not sure what yeast is supposed to taste like in liquid form.

I like both sweet and sour, definitely don't like bitter tastes.

If I was you, seeing as though you never have been drunk before you need a large amount of liquid and a alcohol content

I would reccomend getting some cider that's 4% you can get flavours like berry etc. make sure it's really could if it taste bad adds some juice

Remember alcohol is a psychoactive drug and yu are getting high on drugs

No alcohol tastes good, the idea is to make a drink which mask the flavour

Imagine OP, what you would do if you had to consume something you had not before.

Let us take sushi, for example. You would not indulge in an elaborate in an elaborate dish, no matter how high the quality. You would go for a safe thing. For that is how taste is developed.

The same for alcohol. Do not indulge in a high class spirit. Go for a more common one, mixed with a common beverage. Yes, by default it is common. That is why it is so. A common beverage is so because all can like it. Relish the new experience. Later you can go for more unique things.

Like everywhere else, costs vary widely. The bar where I met my first love gave whisky sours for 3 dollars. They still do years later. It works because a whiskey sour is a cheap drink yet is tolerable for many people.

I have only seen one place who charges more then 10 dollars per drink. They made very elaborate martinis. They were the very best martinis I ever had. But even so, it was a rare treat.

If you are paying 20 dollars for a drink, it better be top shelf everything. Grey goose, etc.

Word of advise, dont mix drinks.

If you are drinking hard alcohol, stick with that. Mixed drinks can be ok. White russians will make you puke eventually, but it will be great tasting punke.

If you drink beer, stick to that. A shot of straight whisky can be ok.

And for the love of everything holy, DO NOT! REPEAT DO NOT touch anything but wine if you were drinking wine.

I am not, actually. I used the sushi example because until last year I did not eat any at all. I was very much a manchild in that I did not eat fish. I am growing my diet to eat more and more fish. I started with salmon and have grown from there. If someone served me an exquisite sushi before I ate salmon I would have rejected it just because I had not developed the taste for it.

I shall just have to reiterate what I felt before.

If you want to indulge on the finest things, that spot seems like a cool spot. But I feel like you are wasting an experience. It is best to work your way up, rather then start with the bar so high.

It would be like... you ate a steak before a hamburger. The steak is superior, yes. But if you only ate steak, you would vomit if you had to eat a hamburger. But if you ate a hamburger first you could appreciate it. A steak would even be superior.

So for you, unless you have the means to enjoy 20 dollar spirits every time, I would recommend starting smaller.

I have no explanation for it, but wine mixes terrible with other alcohol.

There is a saying that drinking beer after wine is fine. The logic is that beer is weaker than wine, and that its ok to take large slurps. Whereas drinking wine after beer makes you take large gulps you cant handler.

Personally I just stay away from any other liquor altogether if I drink wine. Countless examples of having friends keel over from wine + beer combo.

drug alcohol counselor here: if you really like what etoh does to you, and dont feel normal wihout it, do not take another drink as long as you live. tobacco and alcohol are the worst drugs in the world, hands down. but with alcohol, small amounts, occasionally, can be fun, esp. if its with good people and its a good flavor, not something to get shit faced with. a full 5 course italian or french meal, over 2 hours, with 3 or 4 wines, is wonderful. 18-24 yr olds should not drink, but it should be legal, to avoid binge and hidden drinking.

Corona is light and kinda skunky to smell, but is very light and refreshing, you can jam a lime down the throat of the bottle if you want. Heineken is good solid lager that has a clean aftertaste.

Yeah, kinda weird I know. I've got a pretty religious family and if they found out that I drank any kind of alcohol at the parties I went to then they'd disown me.

So now that I'm an adult and legally allowed to purchase alcohol, I'm able to go do whatever I want and stay out long enough so that by the time I get home the effects have worn off.

Nope. As far as I know, once you're 18 you can purchase and smoke cigarettes, and purchase whatever kind of alcohol you want.

You'd be better to find a friend's house to stay at overnight if possible. Certainly don't start with anything stronger than beer or cider if you want to keep your drunkenness to manageable levels.

My best advice to you is not to go overboard - in one sitting at least.

You won't be disappointed. Just watch how much you drink. It's a bit deceptive since it really doesn't taste very boozy. You'll be 3 or 4 in before you start to feel the effects and by then you're beyond the "Oh shit I drank too much" stage.

Raging alcoholic here. This guy is correct. I still love booze in almost every way, even though it led me to crashing my life into the ground. I also smoke and I sincerely hope I don't make it to 40.
