I am at work...bored, thought I should ask.
I am turning 21 years old tomorrow, and I plan to go to my first bar with a couple friends and, well.....drink legally for the first time.  So, what should I drink? I was thinking about getting a shot and a beer, or maybe even a gin and cranberry for my first drink....any recommendations? _____________________

Captain Morgan and Coke all the way. Don't go crazy and try to order one of everything. Pick something and stick with it, and pace yourself. Don't want to have the first time you got drunk in a bar turn out to also be the first time you threw up on a barmaid
 Happy birthday and have a blast!_____________________

Long Island Iced Tea--it is vile if done incorrectly, but it really packs a punch for your cocktail dollar.
Happy, happy birthday!!! Slainte!! _____________________

Long Island Iced Tea--it is vile if done incorrectly I took a bartending class a month or so ago so I can try that out when I turn 21. Seems like an easy way to make some nice cash. Anyway, yea....making those made me say Damn! Bottle after bottle...I was taught to use Vodka, Gin, Triple Sec, and Light Rum....and I hear some people even throw in some Tequila for good measure. _____________________

Alcohol is icky! Smoke a bong of chronic instead!
But if you really must drink, drink something expensive. Plus, Happy Birth Day! -Ghoti _____________________

Captain Morgan and Coke all the way. I agree!!! Although if your going the get drunk quick route, I'd take on some Long Island Ice Teas... I remember when I was 18, hugging the bowl, getting caught by my parents red handed for the first time, it was LI Ice Teas that did the trick. Then again, those were back in the days when I didn't know what a hangover was. Drink much... cause hangovers get worse with age! _____________________

A multiple screaming orgasm or a brown bear, both really alcoholic. Plus I like the irony that your first legal drink is indistinguishable from a chocolate milkshake.
Happy Birthday! |

Clear spirits, gin or vodka. Cranberry is a good choice for a mixer. I like Tanqueray and tonic myself but your buds may not care for the taste of tonic if that chocolate milkshake stuff sounds good to you. Whatever you choose, alternate your drink with water; dehydration is a major contributing factor for a hangover.

Clear spirits, gin or vodka. I am with you on that. I believe Brandy/Cognac is the worst when it comes to toxins left over the next and causing hangovers. I also heard somewhere that a nice greasy meal (to coat your stomach) can help. But, like hiccups, it seems hangover remedies aren't exactly hard to find. _____________________

. I also heard somewhere that a nice greasy meal (to coat your stomach) can help. Carbs. Fill it up with pasta and bread before a night of carousing. And don't forget the water! Trust me. I hope you've made transportation arrangements. That said, party hearty! _____________________

I am always a fan of Gin & Tonic or Cappy & Coke. Never overlook a mild mannered Beer.
If you're lookin' for a hangover why not start out with a Champagne toast! _____________________

"Other".... I didn't see a "Pee" option, so I'll just let you decide what "Other" should be on your own.
Honestly, that was the first thing that came to mind...I'm an asshole... sorry!  _____________________

Absinthe! In fact, now you mention it .... *goes in search of the green fairy* See? If I had only waited, perhaps, I would say something like this. They are making Absinthe again in Switzerland. Yay! Wormwood rotted the guts of visionaries like Hemingway, Wilde, and VanGogh. I'll take mine with a laudanum chaser!!! _____________________
