^^^ Colt 45 and college for me. There was also a Margarita “incident” as an adult, but I got over that one.
For me, you can lump in PBR, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz…I guess just about anything from Pabst. Not to be elitist, but I have an aversion to beers whose top selling sizes includes tall boys. 
Rum and coke in college. And frozen strawberry Margaritas as an adult.
^^^ And for me, peach schnapps. The thought of it turns my stomach!
I can now drink tequila after a spring break to Cancun trip. They’d pour pink tequila in your mouth as you walked in a bar. Blech
We were at a fundraiser Saturday and they had a “wine pull” so I bought 3 random bottles for $50. Turns out, one of the bottles was not wine, but Tito’s Vodka! (made from corn) So I will be having a few more than usual bloody Marys.
I discovered Nonino Amaro a few years ago & love the flavor. Sip! Enjoy! Yum!
Newly enamored, I bought a couple bottles at the liquor store for Xmas gifts for H’s partners.
The manager at the liquor store & I shared our mutual love for this Amaro, and I thought I’d hit a home run with the choice.
H, who was accustomed to his partners thanking him heartily for the usual bottle of red wine, was a little salty to get no comment that year.
…ummm…back to red wine then. Humph.
@Midwest67 that is a shame! Maybe they did not know how to drink it or what cocktails they could make with it? I just pulled up some cocktail suggestions and they sound yumm;)
Peasants! 
Dirty Martinis with extra Olives, Cosmos, Mai Tai’s, Paloma’s and Blanc de Noir Champagne.
My D didn’t drink tequila for nearly 20 years because of an unfortunate college evening ; )
I have an aversion to Blue Curacao and Vodka…aka Windex back in the day.
My unfortunate High School experience involved Captain Morgan Spiced Rum & Coke and unfortunate college evening involved Genesee Cream Ale (the only brand poor college kids could afford in the early 80s). And I have to say, as a young adult in LA in the late 80s, more than two frozen strawberry margaritas during Friday night happy hour could leave one feeling bad on Saturday morning…
My frozen strawberry margarita experience was at the end of a short work trip in, I think, Cleveland. I had a couple of hours to kill so the team took me to a bar near the airport called Loma Linda’s. I had a couple of drinks then boarded a small commuter type jet bound for O’Hare. I don’t even think it had bathrooms. I was pretty looped and eventually realized we were just flying in circles. No explanation for the extra few hours in the air until we landed. It was 40 years ago and AA191 had crashed earlier that day. I couldn’t touch a margarita for 20 years.
My stepfather’s father was a chemist way back in the day and he figured out the secret recipe for the Philadelphia Union League Club’s punch. It was a staple at big family events and involved Triple Sec, Ginger Ale and some other alcohol- oh, and orange juice. I made a big bash in a trash can freshman year of college and wiped out half the dorm.
@MomofWildChild we also had trash can punch freshman year. No to grain alcohol after that. Also no OJ and vodka or rum and coke. I tried to have a rum and coke, thinking it should be ok after 25 years, nope, still couldn’t do it.
Lol @MomofWildChild - I remember a similar experience freshman year when a boy from New Orleans on my floor made “trash can Hurricanes” on a Thursday night. No one got up for class the next morning…
Yeah. College. Bourbon and Coke.
Peppermint schnapps was what made me a non-drinker.
I remember dorm parties with either green or red wapatui. Wasn’t sure that was the right word but here I googled it:
"What does Wapatui mean?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term “Wapatui” (aka Wap), it is defined by Urban Dictionary as “a Midwest college party drink. The idea is each person brings a bottle of clear booze to the party and it all gets mixed in a large container, for example a garbage can works great (new).”
Back in the dinosaur days, mymale classmates used to knock themselves out with a drink called the Northern Lights. Not the colorful cocktail you are all picturing… 
It was a 1:1 mix of vodka and cheap sparkling wine. Deadly! Drink at your own risk. ? The reason for the name? Drink a glass, and you will instantly see the Northern Lights!
[I am a chemist, and therefore I don’t drink solvents. So no vodka or pretty much any hard liquor for me - even blended with something 
]
