Worst Alcohol for Your First Drink

Every culture has its own rites of passage, like baptism or scarification, to mark a person's transition into adulthood. In the western world, celebrating with your first drink is a big part of this tradition. Legally, you're supposed to wait until you're 21, so if you're not there yet, you might be counting down the hours until your 21st birthday to try that first sip of alcohol. If you're reading this and getting ready for your first drink, consider yourself lucky - there are some alcohols you should avoid. This list collects the worst ones to try for your first time. For beginners, here are a few tips: skip the shots, as they'll leave you with a nasty hangover. Choose your drink wisely, and steer clear of bad alcohol like Steel Reserve or anything in a plastic bottle - if it tastes like battery acid and old balloons, it's not worth it. If your 21st birthday is coming up, congratulations - be safe and keep this list handy. For experienced drinkers, vote up the worst alcohols that newcomers should avoid, and add the drink that you think is the worst for a 21st birthday celebration.
