READERS have been sharing their memories of enjoying their first pint with us.
Many people from across Denbighshire, Conwy, Gwynedd and Anglesey have been getting in touch to reminisce about their tales from their first night down the pub.
Earlier this week, we asked our readers 'Where did you have your first pint?'.
As always, the answers didn't disappoint. Here are some of the best ones we received.
From traditional pubs and bars to homes and even a field, it seems everyone has a unique story to share about their first experience with alcohol.
One reader, Scott Gilmour, reminisced about his first pint at Offa's Tavern in Prestatyn.
Steve McCabe fondly recalled his first pint at The Brit in Denbigh, which cost him 1s 10d, a sum that now seems like a relic from a bygone era.
Tony O'Reilly and Paul Baker both cited The Lodge near Talacre as the location of their first pints.
Paul Frost recalled his underage experience at the downstairs bar of the Morville, aged 14.
Meanwhile, Paul Alexander Evans admitted to sneaking drinks at his friend's house during school lunch breaks, resulting in a stern punishment.
Chris Triggs said: "Probably the Marine in Old Colwyn. We were all regulars at 17, me mum worked behind the bar it was all cool."
Other readers, like Maly Jones and Richard Merlin Madin, gave tongue-in-cheek answers, stating their first pint was in a glass or simply "a pub," respectively.
Meanwhile, Darren Eustace mentioned a variety of bars and pubs in and around Rhyl, including The George and Bodfor.
A few readers, such as John Simpson and John Smith, reminisced about their childhood experiences at pubs like The Grange Hotel in Rhyl, where they would enjoy pints and hearty meals.
Keith Pell fondly remembered when Rhyl was a thriving holiday destination and his first pint was at the Palace on the seafront.
Others, like Sharon Ross and Kevin Knox, mentioned The Dixieland Showbar and The Star Inn, respectively.
As the list continued, readers shared their first pint experiences at bars and pubs such as The Schooner, The Sun Inn, The Royal Hotel, and The Imperial.
Some readers, like Mary Smith and Martin Magee, humorously claimed their first pint was at home or "in a field."
Regardless of the location, the sentiment of nostalgia was clear among all the readers.
Memories of wild nights, youthful mischief, and the joys of discovering alcohol filled the comments section.
Eddie Gardner said: "In the Lake District on a school trip for a week. The two teachers turned a blind eye to it, I was 14 years old I will never forget that. Happy days."
From the anecdotes shared by our readers, it is evident that the location of one's first pint holds a special place in their heart.
Whether it was a local pub, a friend's house, or even a field, the experience of that first taste of alcohol remains an indelible part of their personal history.
As we all continue on our respective journeys through life, it's important to cherish these memories and the stories attached to them.
Because, in the end, it's the shared experiences and the connections we make that truly make life interesting and worth living.
