birthday help: First drink on my 21st birthday! - Help.com

First drink on my 21st birthday!

I haven’t had anything alcoholic to drink my whole life. I am about to turn 21 in a couple of months and am wondering what a first good drink would be? and what to stay away from?

Whisky all the way!!! :) Haha…go for some jungle juice at first…it can mess you up quick though…long islands are good….stay away from Absinthe though (if you’re not in the states)…jack and coke is a classic…you can try jim bean but jack is the best…caramel vodka shots are awesome too…it depends on what you like…jager will mess you up..well, just don’t drink half a bottle by yourself…you should decide whether you like dark or light beers…Lagers or not…just experiment…find out if you like the taste of alcohol and you can go from there :)

ok in all honesty- if it’s your FIRST alcoholic drink ever (I’m shocked btw ) you should either go hard core or start off soft. Sooo either take a shot… jager bomb (or some type of bomb)… sake… OR go w. a more mellowed out fruity drink- after all you probably want to remember your 1st drink. Or do you?? hmm lol.

Oh… major party foul. DON’T waste the liquor! Drink it or happily pass it on to someone who will.

You have a lot of time to explore. Don’t become an alchy. I can’t believe you really waited till your 21st birthday! astonishing. lol. congrats :]

honestly if you’ve managed not to drink a drop of alcohol for 21 years then don’t bother starting. it’ll just make you a fat *** lard.

hey hey! I am no fat lard. FAR from it actually. lol. Alcohol does have a lot of calories though. Choose liquor over beer :]

lemon and sugar tastes far superior to the sour mix in my opinion to be honest.
do one jager bomb… ONE.

Man, start slow with something that has a very low alcohol content. Otherwise you are going to have a really miserable birthday. You won’t have like any tolerence to the stuff so unless you want to be sleeping in the bathroom with your head in the toilet, stick with beer or a coolers with low alcohol content (5% or less). Drink slowly so you don’t get drunk too fast.

I’d say start with a fruity drink. Like a strawberry daquiri if you’re going to start slow. Has a more pleasant taste than beer.. and yea drink slow… unless you actually wanna get hammered… you may regret it the next day when the hangover kicks in though.. make sure you’re with ppl you trust & know will take care of you if you drink too much.

Thanks!

I Never really planned on waiting until I was 21 but for some reason I never even thought of trying it until I was like 16 then at that point I told myself I wanted to do something different that most people don’t…And yes I would like to to remember my 21st! haha

I guess when I was like 5 I had a sip of my dads beer…Shame on me
