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

[Baby Give It Up]

15, The Three Tuns Hetton

 

[Latka Gravas]

15, LCL snakebite in The Westwood.

 

[Caer_Urfa]

Was better when Jo and Dave had it.

That cockney lass let it go to shit. It looked scruffy. Do you still get in there like?

Not too often, usually go in there as a meeting point before getting a taxi to shields etc.

I was just wondering if any of my old Bronx Posse still got in there. They'd all fucked off to the Green Baize last I was up there, can't blame them, it was a reet shithole.

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

Just turned 15. Went to Luna and Oslo in the town for a pint in each and then got the bus home. Couldn't believe I got in tbh

It's one of life's great feelings when you get served for the first time

Me and me best mate were down the dene drinking in the summer holidays and we just came up with the idea of lets give it a go. Got the bus through and voila. Really awkward trying to look older at all times like

 

[Lukas73]

16, somewhere in Birmingham

 

[Sgt Pepper]

15 but can’t remember whether it was The Ox and Plough in Washington or William IV in Birtley. Both of those became our regular haunts at that age because we knew we could get served.

Wifey in the William once asked if she’d seen our IDs before, cue us all nervously stuttering and looking at each other until she interrupted and said “ahh well if anybody asks, I’ve seen it”.

 

[Daffy]

17
I looked about 14

 

[Paninaro]

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

Haha me too in the same place but managed to get outside before I puked

 

[Onlyfoolsrushin]

15 at the marsden inn. . Borrowed the driving license of @Onlyfoolsrushin as my ID and had a pint of McEwans best scotch whilst taking an afternoon off school..and playing space invaders. ...wearing a Levi jacket over my white school shirt quietly shitting myself in case we were rumbled

I can't remember loaning you my driving licence.

 

[Quench]

I can't remember loaning you my driving licence.

I used to “borrow” my Dad’s club cards in case I got asked for ID. The fact it would have put me in my 40’s when I was 15 hadn’t struck me as any sort of issue. The arrogance of youth eh

 

[tarantula]

I can't remember loaning you my driving licence.

Just one of those insignificant times in your life you simply don't recall. !!!

 

[The soap powder]

14 year old..... Marlowes except it was actually a can of Red stripe for £1 on a Wednesday night .....them were the days

 

[Roger Mellie]

In England*, 15. Blue Bell, High Usworth, Washington.

We'd ditch our school jumpers at my mams on the way from school (usworth) and go buy a pint in the bell and attack the free lunch buffet on the pool table dressed in black shoes/trousers and a white shirt and whatever coat/jacket we had.

They went mental 3 years later when I went in on my 18th birthday.

*first ever about a year earlier in france. Although I don't think it was a pint... probably a bottle or similar sized beer.

*edit* the blue bell thing was on a lunch time. We tried on an evening with different staff and got slung out
