How old were you when you bought your first pint....

[Junior Birdman]

And do you remember where you were?

I was 15 years old, about 3 months shy of my 16th birthday. Bought from Tebay services on the way to watch us play Liverpool in 1991.

None of your 'Challenge 25' nonsense back then

First pint bought for me: My Dad, I was 13, in a pub he ran in Shields. It was New Years Eve and it was a pint of McEwans Best Scotch, horrible stuff.
First pint I bought: fucknars

 

[Monkton mackem]

15 years old. The Burn. Pint of Labbats.

 

[girojim]

not sure, probably 16, Mcewans lager in The Railway Tavern £1.20

 

[SAFCOldie]

15 years 9 months, the Arts centre in Darlington. I remember the younger looking lads would get asked for ID and then try and remember their fake birthdate. How stupid not to just have your actual birth date but a different year

[Kevj]

15 year old in Jollies circa 1994. Four pints of Stones then barfed all over where Aldi is now.

 

[Rob]

15 years old. Ox & Plough, Washington. "A pint of Hofmeister please mate" said in a very unconvincing deep voice

 

[Mango killa]

Just turned 16, me and pals from downhill went down to a disco at the hylton castle arms and sat like rabbits caught in headlights.

 

[MackneyHackem]

I was 14 or 15 and it was either in Sloane's in the town or at the pub in Silky that is now called The Golden Fleece.

 

[Charmless Man]

16 and some number of months I’m not sure of. Market Tav in Durham having snuck away from a University visit.

I was about to order one at The Stables in Herrington when I was 15 but lost my bottle at the last minute

 

[x ALiEN 8]

15 in the Times Inn, Dalton-Le-Dale 1986

 

[Junior Birdman]

15 seems a canny popular age so far.

 

[stephen cartwright]

27. I snecked dregs all neet

 

[monkeytassle]

Think it was the golden lion in South hylton. Had far too much and puked all over the gents.
