first drink
Initial sip taken
First drink refers to the initial alcoholic beverage that begins a social drinking occasion or marks the start of someone's drinking for the day.
It often carries ceremonial weight—the moment of transition from sobriety to drinking: Let's grab a first drink before dinner.
The phrase also appears in recovery contexts, where taking a first drink means breaking sobriety: One first drink led to a three-day binge.
