Where was your first drink?

[Yaya_Tony]

Granby in town followed by the ritz. Before that it was only house parties and a trip to Victoria wine. Was 14. 17 years later and I get asked for id but back then always got served.

My Great Uncle Norman's pub, the Salutation in Nettleton, Lincolnshire. I was given a suitably small glass of bitter - given I was about eighteen months old.
After that IIRC, the old Grapes in Manchester when I was about 15. (Apart from the odd glass of sherry/port at Christmas, weddings etc. No one seemed to mind kids having the occasional drink back in the day.)

A can of Carlsberg Export I took from the garage aged 11. I met with one of my friends and we had them in a park-y place near a golf course. I only had about 2 sips before I chucked it away, I thought it was minging!

From a bar on the overnight ferry from Harwich to Hamburg when I was 14. There seemed to be no age limit as far as I could tell, once we were far enough off-shore!

In terms of pubs, it was at the Shady Oak in Hazel Grove when I was 16.
