S. Bristol Born & Red Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Can you remember the first pub you had a proper drink in and how old you were?...(going to the bar, not a sneaky one)....mine was the Chequers, Kingswood (just turned 16), and I ordered 3 x pints of Simonds Bitter for myself and 2 workmates. I just had the same as they were drinking....hardly touched bitter since... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Good thread. I seem to remember trying to sneak into a pub with some friends in Stratford-on-Avon during a school trip aged about 13. Unfortunately, we sent the shortest lad in our year up to order and we were promptly ordered out. It were mainly plastic containers filled with Hecks's cider, when I were a lad, but probably my first boozer on a regular basis was the Street Inn, which I used to go in with my girlfriend on a frequent lunchtime basis from the age of 16.

Tins Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 The Trooper, Hanham, 16. Went in with a group of mates, no I.D required, and an awful Elvis impersonator singing, but we didn't care about that too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 My first legal pint was whilst on a holiday in Spain aged 16. We popped over to Gibraltar for the day where the legal drinking age is 16. It was a pint of magners as it was the only cider they had, but a cold cider in 40 degree heat as your first pint in a pub is never a bad thing. I can't remember the name of the pub though.

JammyOne Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 My first real drink was a when I was 15; a Thatchers at The Black Horse (apparently Wurzels always hang around there). Funny thing is, I can't stand cider (I straight up lie when I sing along that I'm a drinker), but that pint was the most refreshing drink I've ever had. I remember it well because it was such a hot day. Now the thought of drinking that apple piss makes me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
