Kopparberg really is a good place to start if you aren't into the taste of alcohol, its almost like juice and goes down really easily. Cocktails are good too, but they cost a lot and can really mess you up if you mix a lot of them. I'm a beer and dark rum & coke man myself these days. Nothing beats either of them in my opinion.

Way to lump weed in with crack too guys haha.
Y'all wanna grab a beer and smoke a joint or freebase some black tar heroin?

Haha. It is pretty bad how it gets lumped in with potentially lethal drugs. I'd even go as far to say that Alcohol is way more dangerous when abused.

If you want some real advise.... learn how to properly make a drink first. Sounds like.your buddies poured entirely to much rum in and not enough mixer. Drinks can taste fantastic if properly made. Also until you "acquire " a taste I would stead clear of whiskey or Bourbon. That stuff is for experienced drinkers.... not a first timer.

True, but once you've grown to appreciate it, there's no turning back :P I almost exclusively drink scotch.

To answer the OP question. I'd recommend starting out with drinks such as screwdriver or red bull + vodka. Also, there seems to be a misconception in this thread that drinking = partying. I usually drink when I'm playing video games with friends, if I'm at a concert or if I'm just playing video games by myself on a Friday / Saturday.

Shots aren't supposed to taste good they are just supposed to get you drunk/buzzed faster.
Slippery Nipple, Buttery Nipple, Brain Hemorrhage (Bloody Brain Stem), Johnny Vegas, Sex on the Beach, Red Headed Slut, Blowjob, Washington Apple, Slow Fuck, and more taste fantastic. :)

EDIT: Some people don't like ordering a few of those lol.
I stand corrected but I meant straight shots of liquor like Tequila, Vodka, Rum don't taste that great. The Buttery Nipple etc are mixed shots so they taste pretty good.

I see, yeah, not a lot of people I know can actually do straight shots. Very few actually... I think maybe my Irish side makes my taste buds different lol.

I just had my first full "regular-sized" glass of bud lite the other day. It still tasted really weird but I was able to handle it. I didn't have any weird sensations afterwards but I was able to loosen up though and feel more relaxed. I had lots of "interesting" conversations with my peers. Im anxious to try other drinks now.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm surprised a lot of people responded. It shows that this forum is far from dead. We just need more interesting topics :D

I used to be a drinker for about 4-5 years (3 months sober and going good)

my 5 fav shots

5. water moccasin(whiskey and peach schnapps)
4. fire and ice(cinnamon and peppermint schnapps)
3. Jagerberry (Jagermeister and blackberry brandy)
2 ???? (Rootbeer schnapps and peppermint schnapps)
1. Jager bomb (jagermeister and redbull)

schnapps is a good shot because of all the different flavors and watch out for jagermeister.
HIT ME UP ON XBOX LIVE.
AWWWW SHIT!!!

I hate hard alcohol. I use to drink it when I went out and social occasions, but now it is very rare. The more you drink the more you get use to it. It is really simple as that. These days a shot will make me want to throw up because of how disgusting it is. There was a time when I could down multiple shots no problem.

I stick to beer now, even when everyone is taking shots. I love beer :); brewing is an art and I love trying new beers.

Mixed drinks and cookers were my "gateway" drinks when I was younger. Drinks that don't taste like alcohol are usually the preferred beverages of newcomers, but you need to try different kinds and settle on what you like. I used to hate beer, but I've developed a fondness for it over the years.

Like others have said, drinking just to please others or live up to some idea of what you *should* be doing is not a good reason to start. You make the decision on what is best for you, and if alcohol genuinely doesn't agree with you, don't force it. Trust me, as someone older, I see the absurdity of drinking culture. Drinking socially is fun, but it's also expensive, detrimental to your health if you overdo it and it can lead to doing stupid things. I've done my fair share, trust me.
