Can you remember the first pub you went I and how old was you

Yeah.
It was the Kings Arms, my mum managed the bars, so my first pub experience was around the age of 6-7.
The landlady would take us upstairs for toffee and ice cream while we waited for mum to balance the tills. |

It was a theatre bar. I had wagged school and was feeling brave so I got on the bus to the nearest city, got off and headed to the first place the sold alcohol.
Had a glass of wine and wasn't even questioned. I was 15. |

I think it was called Loxley Hall in Nottingham, we weren’t quite 16 and we had applied for our provisional driving licenses so we could drive 50ccbikes at 16. It did the trick back then looked just like a normal driving license. |

It didn’t put me off, nor did it start my drinking.
That was done at my mates house. Raiding the liquor cabinet. I was borderline alcoholic at 14. Bad times. |

Friday lunchtimes when I was in the 6th form at school.
The pub was The 6 Bells. It was about 20 meters from home, and a 5 min walk from the school.
Pupils/students were in the public bar and teachers in the saloon bar.
Back to school for Friday afternoon - which was always general studies. |

My dad used to send me down to the village pub which had one of those little sliding doors in the hallway when you walked in.
This was basically an off licence.
Knock on the door and the barman or woman would slide the door open,I'd have an empty glass bottle and ask them to fill it with "Sherry" which was straight from a barrel, I'd hand over a few pounds and walk back home and my dad would sit and drink it over the following week or two.
dad sherry, really!!

Yes! Our local had an offie on the side, like a little cubicle, when I was growing up. It's their smoking area now. |

16 and went to the local with three mates. We got served and sat down, at which point the barman came over and said “Are you 18?” My mate thought he said “Are you eating?” so he said no, and were asked to leave 
Fair doos, he let us finish our pints first so he wasn’t that fussed. |

The pub at the end of our road called the Perseverance. Spent a fair bit my childhood in there. My school friends and I would go to the Robinson crusoe in our early teens. Both pubs still are standing but have been gentrified and are now the Huntress and the clisold Arms. Loads of pubs in my neighbourhood has since closed. |

Ashton lacrosse club
I was 14 (it was a looooong time ago)
Got totally wasted, spent the weekend throwing up and feeling utterly dreadful
After then, probably a couple of 'locals' with Dad
I was clubbing at 16 though, trying to get into over 25's clubs at 18
By the time I was of legal drinking age, it was all about the challenge
Kinda scary when you think |

I was regularly in the pub as a kid. Local had Irish bands playing live on a Sunday afternoon. The kids got pop and crisps while the parents got pissed. I loved a britvic orange. Good 90s memories. Shame most of the pubs have shut these days. |

The Builders Arms in Leamington. I was 18. Can remember on a Friday night, seriously difficult to get served. As it was 4 deep getting to the bar. Let alone getting served.
(Seriously wonderful barmaid was the attraction for us ) |
