the drinking age is 18 here in australia, so naturally everyone has their first drink at 16. the standard for underage drinkers are vodka cruisers (i think they're called alcopops in the u.s??) or goon/goon sack, which is four litres of cheap boxed wine + the best way to drink it is using a hills hoist: you hang the sack on a clothes line and drink straight from the nozzle, very classy stuff lmao.
my first drink was at my brothers 16th birthday, i was 16 (a couple weeks off 17) at the time + had never had a drink so a couple of his girlfriends convinced me to try a cruiser. it was this windex-looking blueberry one that i had to drink over the kitchen sink b/c i couldn't keep it down (i gagged after every sip, it was so embarrassing) i'm 20 now + still no better at drinking, i just don't enjoy it.
