First legal drink

[NottinghamWhite]

What was your first legal drink. Mine was a pint of Cameron’s bitter. Cost 1/9p , about 8p in today’s money. What was yours.

I grew up in a non-drinking environment. Neither of my parents drank, so I didn't. I had my first drink when I was doing my National Service in Singapore, aged 19. It was a cold bottle of Anchor beer and I used to have one (or two) after every game of football. 90 minutes in temperatures of 35C with 100% humidity was a big help! Used to love that Anchor beer. There was also Tiger beer, but I preferred Anchor. Never got drunk though and never have been.

Not really sure what mine was.

It would have been a pint of either Thwaites bitter or Trophy bitter.

I know that the first alcoholic drink I would have been given would have been from a Watneys party 4 or party 7

Not 100% what my first one was but my first local was a Whitbread pub so drank trophy there.

1/9d,

I remember when I used to play Table Tennis, I was about 16. All the other members of the team were men and after away games they would always go into a convenient pub. I never drank but can remember the price of a pint was 10d. Change from a shilling!

Mine was a light and bitter, stooped been popular once the weights and measures act came into play. No idea how much it cost.

18th Birthday so would have been some crappy lager at one of the pubs before going home to have a party with Tooheys New (An Aussie beer which you could get in the UK back in the late 80's) and Guinness.

The crappy lager or Tooheys i would not touch nowadays even if it was free, don't mind the odd Guinness sadly its one of those beers that does not travel well once it leaves Ireland.

Price = no idea i wasn't buying that day
