Ummm, don't?
Most alcohol is an acquired taste. Beer, wine, the various hard liquors - it all takes getting used to.
In my opinion the alco-pop stuff is just nasty.
If I were starting again, I guess I'd pick a fairly simple white wine - like a generic chardonnay - there are plenty out there that you can get for under U.S. $10 that are decent enough.
One small glass apiece and then put it away.
But, you're probably better off not drinking at all - think of the many advantages. Never worried about driving drunk, no chance of alcoholism (you can be genetically inclined to this - any alcoholics in either family?), avoid potential religious criticism. No issues about obtaining alcohol if you're not of age. (It is illegal, at least in the U.S., if you're underage and you can get fined or worse, depending on the cop.)
Responsible drinking is possible. But why bother to start if you haven't so far?

Make sure you eat some food either before, during, or after, or all three. Drink water. Don't drink too much too fast - alcohol can sneak up on you. You think it's not having any effect and four drinks later, you're passing out.
A couple of glasses of wine will be fine.
If you want hard liquor, make sure you mix it with something. Beer, ick.

From new drinker, well two years, here is some things I note.
You should eat a good meal before you drink, since it will stop the alcohol from just passing right through.
You want to find what you like, so trying little of everything isn't bad. I am not going to say have one or two drinks because on my first day drinking I had 9 drinks and I wasn't tipsy at all. And I am a fairly small male, 6ft, 132lbs.
I suggest mixed drinks, because they are easy to make, and you control how much you drink. One of my fav, and the one I always have is vodka and juice. Take 1 shot of vodka, put it in a glass and add any juice you want. Or pop works as well. I use to do half a mug of vodka and pop (two classes with one can of pop) as my pre-drinking before I went to a bar. This is good because it mixes in everything, and if you don't like the taste, you just add more juice.
Beer is a taste you will like or hate. I didn't mind it, and I still don't. I don't drink it much anymore because it cost to much for me (university student) and I just have so much else. But if you are going to try beer, look at things like Corona, a mexican beer which is not as bad tasting. Also look for mixers or coolers such as smirinoff ice, which add flavours to your drink.
I would suggest if you are going with hard liqor, to stick to either Vodka, Rye, Gin or Rum. Vodka and Rye I would say is your best bet. Just buy a small bottle of it and try it out. Just mix it well and it will make life easy. And if you really want something good, get a drink called a Mudslide. It taste like chochlate milk.
The only caution I will say is no your limit. If you feel like your stomach is turning, stop for half hour and see if its still turning. If so, no more. Also, if you feel like throwing up, just go do it. Its not bad as people will make it out, and if fact will clear some of the alcohol out and you will feel better. No your limit and you will be fine, and keep track as well. After about 10 times drinking you will know what your limit is. Mine is something like 10-15 drinks, depending what I have, of course I have absinth which is very high content and expensive so stay away from that.
Have fun, but just be safe. Drinking is not a right even though you become of age.

I would say for the first timer, to take it easy. Don't start off with the attitude that you have to out drink someone, or that drinking is what makes you an adult. You sound fairly young, so if you are not of age wherever you are I would not drink at all!
Assuming that you are of age however, I would get some champagne, and some orange juice, and have mimosas. I love them! They are traditionaly for brunch, but I drink them day or night! Dont spend a fortune on the champagne, but since you both probably have a pretty low tolerance one bottle should be enough. I would recomend Korbel if you are in the states. It is a sparkling wine from Cali. People serve it at weddings and at New Years. It is nothing special, but since you proabably wont notice all the intricate little nuances of a really good champagne anyway, and that it will be mixed with orange juice, it will be fine. One caveat, when opening, point the bottle away from you, your girlfriend, any pets, or valuable crystal, twist and POP! The cork should come out no problem!

Listen to the Irish guy on this one...
1) General rule of thumb: If you drink liquor before beer you’ll be in the clear, but if you drink beer before liquor you’ll never be sicker. Pick either beer or the hard stuff and stick with it. Mixing will getcha sick.
2) If you’re not accustomed to drinking stick with bottles of beer or wine coolers. Do you have any idea how to make a vodka tonic? Of course not, you’ll probably make it too strong. Stick with prepackaged serving sizes.
3) Wine and champaign seems classy and romantic, but fuck it. That stuffy with make you sick or give you a headache if you’re not used to it. A couple Miller Lites may seem trashy but you’ll catch a good buzz and you don’t have to worry about crashing your car or puking all over yourself.
I’m Irish, I live on the south side of Chicago, and I’m already in AA at the ripe old age of 24. I might know what I’m talking about here..

my first post here thought this might be a good warm-up
A good drink to try is some Vodka mixed drinks, they taste just like softdrink.
if your going to drink beer, dont drink corona - they're a terrible beer, try something from europe like Heinekan, theyre alot better
if you do drink too much, take a jumper off or something, it helps me when i feel like throwing up to just cool down, and sit down. sitting outside helps me too, i get a headspin inside for some reason
i am a new drinker (only a 18mnths) so i can still remember my newbie days
thought this might be a good warm-upthats crap - i have had liquor before beer about 3 times, all 3 times it screwed me over hardcore!

I think it's good that you are serious about this but why is it that you are planning on drinking for the first time? If you have the right age to drink you should want to do so because it is a drink that appeals to you or you've tasted a sip of before. If you are only planning to drink alcohol for the sake of being able to say you have had alcohol, I think it's for the wrong reasons.
Plus, as others have stated already... it also depends on what else you are planning. Alcohol in combination with a wide variety of activities (driving, having sex etc) is not always a good combination!

OK - I'll add my piece. After about 8 years' cohabitation with alcohol, I have this to say:

Do not drink!!!
Have a few by yourself or out with friends...fine!
But I would NOT drink for the first time ever while meeting another who has never had a drink!Especially if the bedroom is where your headed!
You are looking at a disaster waiting to happen!
Please please do not have alcohol involved if its both your first time!!!!!!
I love to drink myself...but no way would I think you two should have any alcohol involved ...
Just some thoughts from Max

Yeesh, what's with all the gloom and doom? They want to TRY it, they aren't planning a drunk fest! As long as they're legal and are in a safe location and don't have to drive afterwards, what's the big deal if they each have a drink or two? What's the big disaster?

The one thing that new drinkers don't know -- and many experienced drinkers often forget -- is that you will continue to get drunker for about 15-30 minutes after you have your last drink. If you wait until you feel "drunk" to stop drinking, you're going to wind up very sick and miserable.
Set a limit on how much you're going to drink before you start -- two or three drinks -- and stick to your limit. Drink slowly and pace your two or three drinks over the entire evening instead of just guzzling them down in the first hour.
Alcohol should be an adjunct to activities, not an activity itself. Wine with dinner, a cocktail before dinner, or a snifter of brandy after dinner are all ways that alcohol fit smoothly into an evening's activities for a couple.
Alcohol is properly used as a social lubricant; If you and your LDGF don't need alcohol to feel comfortable with each other, there is no reason to bring alcohol into the equation.

Yes, that is it, good good, plenty of water before, and inbetween drinks. I would start off with easy nice good tasting smirn off(like cranberry), or if you want mix some Captains with soda(this is a quicker way to get buzzed//drunk)(if you havnet decided what you want to drink yet) . Good luck and have funLadyJeanne said:

Put the condom on before you go out, then at least you have one less thing to remember if you go over the top..
As for first drink???? Line up the tequila slammers and make the most of it as the hangovers get worse as you get older!
On a serious note, just find something that you enjoy the taste of and enjoy a casual drink. Don't be stupid, or too fast, Just stick to something you like and let it relax you. There is no big deal to drinking as long as you are sensible and not some stupid college punk who thinks drink is only there for you to get drunk and pass out. Depending on where you are going, maybe perhaps go out with ur partner to a cocktail bar and get something fruity that isnt so strong (a good bar will have a good barman who can recomend something), just make sure you only have ONE each. That will be a nice way forward and nothing to crazy.

Wow. You guys are paranoid!
Just have fun! I'm 18. I don't drink very often. I sometimes go a liiiittle overboard. My advice: if you do get carried away, there should be someone responsible and in control to take care of you if you get sick.
Ok, ok. I know this isn't the most responsible advice, but I say have fun while you're young!!!
