* In ''Film/{{Jack|1996}}'', while the titular character is in a state of depression, he takes advantage of the fact that [[YoungerThanTheyLook he is a 10-year old with the physical body of a 40-year old]] to go to a bar and have his first alcoholic beverage. He orders a Shirley Temple, and he starts to drink, to which he first reacts by doing a SpitTake. After a few more sips of it, however, he grows accustomed to it.

* ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977'': In the pilot movie, ''[[Recap/TheIncredibleHulkDeathInTheFamily Death in the Family]]'', the Hulk encounters a hobo at a campfire, eating discarded fried chicken. When the hobo sits still, too flummoxed to do anything, Hulk concludes the hobo is no threat and sits opposite him at the campfire. The hobo offers the Hulk a piece of chicken, which he sniffs warily, then eats it "bones 'n' all." Then the hobo offers Hulk some of his whiskey, which the Hulk also sniffs, then begins to drink. Stunned by the alcohol, he spits the stuff into the campfire, which makes it flare up. This sends the Hulk roaring away from the site.

* ''Film/TheParentTrap1998'': Discussed, but justifiably subverted. 11-year-old Hallie, [[TwinSwitch disguised as her twin sister Annie]], asks to taste the wine while dining with her mother and grandfather. Her mother says she's not sure "Annie" will like it, presumably because she never let the real Annie try alcohol before. But since Hallie was raised on a vineyard with her wine connoisseur father, she handles it fine and [[SommelierSpeak even gives her opinion on the taste]]. She claims she [[BlatantLies picked up the knowledge at camp]], which convinces her mother [[spoiler: but not her grandfather]].

* Early on in ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' [[CoolOldGuy Dot Pixis]] gives Eren Jaeger (a teenager who presumably hasn't had a drink before), a swig from his flask, which results in a SpitTake.

* One ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'' event saw all the teen superheroes being turned into adults while the adult superheroes were all reverted to childhood. During this time, Tim Drake (who was ComicBook/{{Robin}} at the time) became an adult and took advantage of the situation to visit a bar and hang out with his dad, who is unaware that it's Tim. He decides to try having a beer, but immediately spits it out all over his dad.

* ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'': While at Alex's treehouse, Spencer and Martha eagerly try the margaritas Alex makes since they're technically old enough to drink alcohol while trapped in Jumanji, but after one sip they decide not to finish them.
* ''Film/Shazam2019'': One thing Billy Batson does while in his Shazam form is buy beer. He and Freddy take one swig of their beers, and then spit them out soon after.

* [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in ''Series/ThirtyRock.'' The main cast gets involved in a drinking contest, and eventually need to rely on [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Kenneth]] to help. Since he's extremely sheltered (to the point of thinking coffee is evil), the group thinks they're doomed--but then Kenneth takes a sniff and remarks "This smells like hill-people milk! I've been drinking this since I was a baby!" He promptly starts throwing back shots with ease.

** Played straighter in a Season One episode when the family heads to Hawaii for a vacation. Haley has what's implied to be her first drink--wine coolers--and hates it, ending up completely drunk and miserable.
* Invoked on ''Series/TheWalkingDead''. After Daryl and Beth are separated from the rest of their group in Season 4, a despondent Beth decides its time to try alcohol and tries to drink from bottle of Peach Schnapps. Daryl decides this is a terrible first drink, angrily smashes the bottle, and takes Beth to a moonshine still that he had previously discovered. Beth is, of course, disgusted by the taste of the backwater hooch.

* ''Webcomic/TalesOfTheQuestor'': After choosing their careers Qunetyn's dad takes him and his friends to a tavern to celebrate. Quentyn takes one taste of a beer and immediately goes outside to throw it up.

* ''WebVideo/CriticalRoleCampaignTwo'': Caduceus Clay is a tea-loving cleric who has been sheltered at his family's temple his entire life before he decides to travel with the Mighty Nein. As such, since this is a TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons world, he struggles to find something to drink at the first tavern they stop in. When Nott gets him to try whiskey for the first time, he ends up coughing, and tries to take the edge off with milk, which doesn't help. Six drinks in, he still thinks alcohol tastes terrible, to which Beau replies, "You don't drink it 'cause it tastes good." [[note]] Because he is a 7-foot-tall [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent firbolg]], the fact that it takes more drinks than average to give him a buzz is referenced as a factor as well. [[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In "Bart's New Friend", Homer is hypnotized into believing he's 10-years-old again and does not remember anything he's done past that age. When Dr. Hibbert gives him a sample of beer to test the strength of the hypnotism, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Homer instantly spits it out and complains about the flavor]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBros'': In "A Very Venture Halloween", Dean learns that he and Hank are clones from Ben, who also gives Dean his first beer to help cope with the revelation. Later, Dean tells Hank he learned something important, but he decides against telling Hank about the cloning and instead says that "beer taste like pee-pee".

Can overlap with GargleBlaster, though not necessarily as this trope is meant to say more about the drinker's lack of experience than the drink itself. Also doesn't necessary overlap with CantHoldHisLiquor, since this has to do with reacting poorly to the taste of alcohol rather than becoming intoxicated. Compare ATankardOfMooseUrine, which is about bad tasting alcohol in general. May happen to KidsRaidingTheWineCabinet. Contrast {{Beergasm}}.

* ''Literature/TheIndianInTheCupboard'': When Omri is caught stealing liquor from his father's liquor cabinet for Boone, his father forces him to drink it. He doesn't like it and finds it hard to swallow.

* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'': This happens nearly every time Sheldon is knowingly introduced to alcohol. In one episode, he visits Penny at the bar of The Cheesecake Factory, takes a sip, and spits it back into the glass. Interestingly enough, if he isn't informed about the presence of alcohol, the taste doesn't seem to bother him, such as an early episode where Penny offered him a "virgin Cuba Libre"(coke and rum without the rum) that turned out to be "a little slutty".

* ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'': While at Alex's treehouse, Spencer and Martha eagerly try the margaritas Alex makes since they?re technically old enough to drink alcohol while trapped in Jumanji, but after one sip they decide not to finish them.
