I didn't enjoy beer until my 20's at some point. When I was a teenager I would shotgun my beers or use a beer bong.

This was my first 6-pack scoop. I was once a nerd and as a kid read Consumer Reports magazines and a study had the High Life at the top of the beer list on ABV at 6.0% (legal max at the time apparently) and I wanted the biggest bang for my buck with my allowance.

Oops now I see where you wrote that at the bottom!!!! Me and my friend were just talking about drinking those not long ago. I think we were 16 or 17. I remember drinking lots of them at the Peter Adonis strip shows in the early 80’s. We could get away with so much more back then. We weren’t old enough to drink beer OR go see strippers but we got in anyway.

left leg was in traction in Walter Reed. VA official brought pizza & beer for the entire ward & his teenage daughter asked him if she could drink a beer with me. At the age of 22, I had never wanted a sip of what I thought was the worst smelly thing in the world. But couldn’t look like a wimp in front of the girl after her dad said she could drink one.

First beer was probably a Natty Boh. Freshman year of HS. I had Saturday JUG and had to report to school for campus clean up at 8 AM. The Brother in charge asked if I was hungry and brought me some cold beans (no microwaves back then). Offered me some milk, but came back with something else. It was a glass of beer. So here I am 14, eating cold beans and drinking (bad) beer while in JUG.
When I was 16, my father, who was from Austria, gave me 2 cases of imported Lowenbraeu for Christmas and told me it had to last all year.

First beer was also a Schlitz circa 1976! My 2nd Beer I tried was Miller High Life. Miller Lite had not been invented yet. Used to Love Beer Commercials in the late 1960’s thru the 1970’s!

We were too young to legally drink, but there was a house off Poinsett Hwy/Hwy 25going into Greenville. Just past the Rainbow Drive In. They had a green light bulb in the porch light. $2 a 6 pack (‘70s, when it was $1.25 legally).
We’d then drive back to TR and the Green Valley Country Club - where my buddy’s dad worked - park and get drunk. And ‘walk’ the water hazards, feeling for, finding golf balls which we would sell back to the golf course driving range for 25 cents/dozen. So we could buy more beer…..
Ah, the good ol’ days!

Name says it all.
My dad was Vietnam vet and biker. Use to be a few bars between Lyman and Sparkle City where I could go into and typically lady bartenders knew him and recognized me. So I road my bike out to a "hot dog"/mechanic shop at 12 or 13 and got a bucket of PBR and shot pool...also smoked a few camels that day.

tallneck Bud, which remains my choice, although I'm not much of a beer drinker.
My Dad rarely drank anything alcoholic, but if he had a beer, I always saw him salt the top. So, I copied, which to me cut that first, bitter taste. Still salt the tops to this day.
While in the Army in Germany, I sampled the German brews, most of which were local types, but were about twice the alcoholic content. Hence, when in an Army club, my preference was for what we jokingly called Buttwipers...The King of Beer. Never have liked the Lite versions either.

hartins®I recall all we got in the clubs was 3.2% (‘near beer’). The German beer definitely was a lot more potent. I also remember that in Denmark in the 80’s, there were only two brands - one we called ‘Elephant beer’ - but don’t recall the actual names/brand…. But at almost $8 a bottle,I darn sure didn’t drink many! They had a heckuva kick, though!
I’d also seen people put salt on their beer. Didn’t know the actual reasoning. Interesting.

I think I was a freshman in high school in Columbia. Two older friends of mine (maybe seniors) skipped school and rode up to Camden to a dive called Cross Keys. Had a cold PBR, we all drank PBRs until someone started on Bud a couple of years later. Loved those days!

A sip of my Dads as a 12 year old boy. Budweiser was the only beer he would drink. He kept 4-5 cases stacked in his garage. I told on him in church as a 5 year old. Daddy buried and I said very loudly “need another beer, Daddy?” He could have crawled away and died. He quit soon after and hasn’t drank much at all over the last 40 plus years.

Dad had a ‘beer fridge’ in the garage. I think it was 1989 when I first snuck a Silver Bullet.
I was 14. To this day, I still don’t like Coors Light.

It was cold and tasted awful; but I probably drank 4 oz. of it.

I have no idea what brand it was - it was in a red cup that was thrust upon me during my first few days in college.

My first beer was a Miller High Life

pony that my friend and I found on the floorboard of his brother’s 1970 Ford Mustang. We were only 12 years old at the time. So, we got 2 glasses of ice and split that beer “on the rocks.” It was so bad I didn’t try beer again for 4 years.

Was underage and with one of my older sisters and her newly minted husband. Basically the brother in law gave me his beer (common mid 80s draft) and that was that….was probably a Budweiser or Busch. Just remember the frosted mug.

I can't remember.
The best I have had was Oberdorfer Weissbier with a flip-top lid. I had a few while on vacation in Germany back in 1993.

I was playing tennis with some older dudes around 1977 when I was 14 I think. Afterwards they bought me a Miller Lite in a can. I drank about half of it. Couldn't finish it. I never had that problem after that.
