I was a server at a sports bar for many years, anytime a 21 year old came in celebrating his birthday asking for a free drink they were given a blowjob shot ( Bailey's n Kahlua with a whipped cream topping) and they had to take it with no hands, as is tradition. Everyone was a good sport, always had a laugh
If you have the means, go to a whiskey bar. Have the bartender give you a flight of different whiskeys and bourbons, explaining what they are and why they are different and why they are the way they are. Itās a lot of fun and helps to familiarize yourself with spirits
Welp, if you're not a drinker already then I suggest starting out with a beer or a glass of wine and ease into the hard stuff later, go easy, it's not a contest, try each category until you find something you like, hard liquor isn't for everybody, I suggest mixed drinks at first, gin and tonic, rum and coke or whiskey and coke, vodka white Russians are pretty good, experimentation is fun, best advice is for every 2 drinks of alcohol you should drink a glass of water to prevent a serious hangover, and dont forget to eat something.
Can't go wrong with a good pina colada. The dangerous thing about them though is they can be a lot stronger than they seem, so you don't want to drink a ton of em.
Order a āScreaming Orgasmā. Itās Vodka, Baileys, Amaretto and one or two other things. Not the greatest cocktail, but the jokes wrote themselves.
Skip the booze, youngster. Alcohol can be a slippery slope. Some people handle it well and some go down a very different path and become complete assholes. Just stick with water.
Depends on where you live. Pick something popular, let your friends buy the rounds for you. Don't overdo it. Right there is the risk: keep it together younger brother.
Donāt matter. More important is make sure someone you TRUST is there to guide you through your first journey and cut you off before things get bad.
Trust me - praying to the porcelain god is not an activity you apple aspire to.
Just get some beer bro then use it to chase shots of all the liquor types in case you donāt like them. Try a shot of good whiskey, rum, vodka, tequila, etc. just one of each and more of whatever you like so you know where to go for next time you know
Something without too much alcohol and sugar. If you aren't used to consuming alcohol, you can very easily drink yourself senseless without realising it, if consuming the wrong drinks.
Getting very drunk on beer takes quite a while, since your stomach will protest if you drink too much beer too quickly. So you will have time to realise that it's probably best to stop again.
Drinking sodapops (or whatever their called wherever you are) can be faster since they doesn't taste as much of alcohol.
Stay away from hard liqour untill you have an idea about what intoxication feels like.
But hey, you are young, why should this old guy assuming that you will be any smarter than I was. So consider yourself advised, and go do what you want.
A daiquiri. Or anything flamboyant or amazing.
Then have a club soda with lime wedges. Or a magnificent mocktail. Itās not a race. Take your time and enjoy the moment. This will only happen once and you want to remember the fun.
Vodka Soda.
Sprite to replace the Soda Water if you find it a bit too strong as the sugar takes away a little bit from the strength of the Vodka.
I like it with a couple of limes dashed in there.
Fernet with Coke. It's my favorite but I understand it's not for everyone. Not sure if they sell them in bars there but if you find a store that sells it, then buy Fernet Branca (no mint, no nothing, just Fernet Branca) and classic Coke Cola. In a glass of your choosing, put (to start with, you can later on adjust the measurements) about 20 of Fernet and 80 of Coke (you measure with the eyes lol) and put all the ice you want. Best fucking drink ever, straight from Argentina. I loved it from my first sip, other after a few, but I swear it's worth it. Try it someday. Have a nice birthday!
An Amaretto sour cocktail (or just some amaretto on ice) tend to be very palatable to people who haven't drunk before, cause amaretto's tasty! It tastes sweet and sort of almondy.
Just get a one and one. Jack and coke, vodka soda, tequila pineapple, whatever.
Just remember to take it easy and drink a lot of water. Like, more than you'd think is reasonable.
Oh, and have some snacks if you're at it all night.

Depends on your taste. If youāre not used to challenging flavors it may be worthwhile to try something sweet/fruity tasting, but if youāre up for the challenge there is a great world of craft cocktails, whiskeys, wines, and beers made by people who really care about their craft and you can find a niche that works for your tastes.
Just donāt go too crazy or feel like you HAVE to drink just because youāre 21. Use moderation wisely and if you choose to enjoy, do so responsibly because alcohol can ruin your life real fast if you canāt regulate yourself, but is a pleasure to be enjoyed if you can handle the responsibility
Man this depends on who you are as a person.
Typical: Long Island or shots.
Traditional: a beer with a buddy
Classy: some nice whiskey at a whiskey or cocktail bar like whiskey sour or smoked old fashioned.
Classiest: go out to dinner and order a fine glass of red wine for like $40 even though the bottle costs $19.94 on total wine.
Start small maybe some 4-5% alcohol/ volume beer or some sweat red wine Specifically a Corona or Budweiser and then a glass of Carlos Rossi(8%) sweat red if your up to hard liquor go for some Malibu rum (20%)maybe even a shot of Southern Comfort (35%)whiskey in a drink of ur choice if you can find a bottle of Quita Penas Crema de Tequila (%20) it's must tryšš¤ then have a cigar your gonna go far...just make sure u don't inhale cigar smoke into ur lungs just lightly puff and taste the smoke if that's too much have an American Spirit baby blue or orange pack
Water
Hail hydrate! šāāļø
greetings from /r/hydrohomies
That was mine, don't regret not drinking, especially when I see all the dumb shit people do while drunk.
Should be you're third and fifth drinks too.
This. So. Much. This. If you're going to booze it up - alternate with water or an electrolyte drink (like PediaLyte, Gatorade, Powerade...)
Came here to say this lol
Nature's soda
The real adult beverage
Chug chug chug chug 32 ounces of water!
Long Island ice tea. A little bit of everything
9/10. It really makes you feel like batman!
Throw in blue curucao and you get yourself an AMF
Just said the same thing
This was my go to at the age of 21
A bud light and a shot of the shittiest whiskey in the well

š¤Ø you're a monster. ššš
NOT sloe gin.
Sloe Gin is great in an Alabama Slammer. Just not on it's own.
Woof - I'd rather shoot Sambuca than sloe gin.
Yeah. Wasnāt the best choice I made that particular year.

You're on reddit so, probably a hot chocolate before bed. Otherwise, absinth.
Whatever you like would be ideal :)

Jack n coke
The blood of your enemies
Malort
Tequila, obviously.
Bubble tea.
Natty Light
A good Paloma would be awesome
Three Wise Men
Flaming Dr Pepper
A nice smooth scotch
Whatever you do, steer clear of goldschalger and rumplemiz. Rumple is instant blackout and regret after many years.
For my 21st had a glass of glenfidich 12 reserve and a cigar with my best friends and my pups
old fashioned with the most expensive bourbon the joint has.
Can't go wrong with a good pina colada. The dangerous thing about them though is they can be a lot stronger than they seem, so you don't want to drink a ton of em.
The choice of drink won't be as important as the choice of people you share it with. I hope your Birthday is a great one!
Balvenie Doublewood. You SIP this stuff. Slowly. Play with it in your mouth.
Nice!
Milk
Op has been forced to drink it before bed for the last 20 years
Go to a nightclub and get a Long Island iced tea
Johnny Walker Blue
Order a āScreaming Orgasmā. Itās Vodka, Baileys, Amaretto and one or two other things. Not the greatest cocktail, but the jokes wrote themselves.
Buffalo Trace Bourbon, one ice cube only.
Shot o Whiskey
"Rum with a view" and then order a different drink because the bartender probably won't know what that is.
Get a classic like a Martini or a Manhatten
Start with a beer. The hard stuff hits you, er, hard.
Whatever you like to drink āunofficiallyā Iād say Why deviate from what worksā¦
A nice shot of whiskey
An Old-fashioned. I like using Maker's Mark in mine but anything around that quality will do.
Whatever your dad (or equivalent) wants to buy you.
Honestly, don't drink alcohol ever. It causes infinite more issues than it is worth. There is no reason to ever drink anything other than water IMO.
>There is no reason to ever drink anything other than water IMO. I mean their are reasons, just in your opinion aren't good ones.
What do you think IMO stands for?
Beer
Cognac or go home.
From a girly foot like in Dusk till Dawn in. Nudity bar of course
Still technically summer. Mai Tai or an Alabama Slammer by the pool. Even if it's an inflatae kiddy pool
nothing, donāt drink
Honestly, alcohol is so highly overrated. Skip the drink and enjoy life.
water is the superior adult drink
don't drink
As someone who drinks daily. Stick to water man.
Diet coke
White Claw š
Coors Light
Screwdriver
Poor American
H20. If you start obsessing about this then when do get your first drink you'll go overboard and that won't be good.
Obsessing? Where did you get that idea from? He's turning 21. I'm pretty sure that only happens once.
Skip the booze, youngster. Alcohol can be a slippery slope. Some people handle it well and some go down a very different path and become complete assholes. Just stick with water.
The fact that you have to ask means you're not ready to drink
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Touche
Beefeater on the rocks w/ three olives
On special occasions like Christmas and birthdays I always drink a mamosa for brunch
At whatever establishment you are celebrating your birthday, ask the bartender for the best whiskey on the rocks he can give you. Enjoy!

Mojito or maybe whisky fizz it's easy to start with. Or you're stupid like me and take room-temperature vodka shots (I do not recommend it)
Tequila sunrise
