alcohol recs for first time drinker?

My friend wants to try drinking for the first time ever and I'd love recs as to what is suitable. I lowk don't even remember what my own first drink was ,probably whisky or it was maybe vodka but idk if those are good for someone's absolute first time because I remember not liking the taste of either of those though I did enjoy being buzzed.

I also don't want anything too strong , just something to drink while we chill at home , while watching a movie or something . In our culture women aren't really allowed to drink and up until recently I lived at home so the only times I drank were in abandoned spaces or empty housed and drank whatever we could get lol so I'm a bit of a novice as well.

Do not start, as an Avid alcoholic I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

It sucks, it's painful and you lose a lot because of it.

Don't drink.

Yeah, it’s great until it’s not, then it suuuuucks. I jokingly thought as a responce was to skip it and put $20 weekly in a mutual fund, retire one year earlier is just that easy.
