First time drinking...

...and probably my last for a while. Parents are out of town, and one of my friends has easy access to some cheap stuff... so we just got messed up last night. Of course, I learned AFTER I was trashed that my friends were barely buzzed, and had been mixing my drinks much more strongly than they were telling me.

-Some things I learned last night:

-Hard liquor isn't very noticeable when mixed with juice.

-I know my own limit, but my friends push me over it anyway.

-The equivalent to 3-4 shots gets me nicely toasted, 5-6 gets me pretty far gone, and any more than that makes me puke like mad.

-I can drink myself to puking the night before and come out of it the next day not hung over at all and still remembering everything that was said and done the night before.

Overall, I see this as something I may do socially and occasionally, but this is definitely NOT something I could do by myself.

P.S. It's the following morning, and my stomach still feels a little uneasy. Does anyone know the best way to get rid of that?
 
The queasy stomach is a hangover. If you feel at ALL out-of-sorts, you are indeed hung over. Plus, just because you remember everything doesn't mean you weren't drunk. It just means you weren't drunk ENOUGH. Next time drink more and I garuntee that at some point you'll forget what's happening.

Heh, it is definitely no fun when you wake up the next day, and don't remember half of the previous night, then your friends tell you everything you did and you really wish you could remember that stuff.
 
Hangover have to be dealt with preventively. Its too late now. Next time, before you go to bed, drink lots of water, some tynelol, and eat something with lots of sugar.
 
OK, I was wondering if the stomach was part of a hangover or not. Guess I'll just chalk this one up to experience, and go get me something to eat.

As for my friends, I'm never trusting them with alcohol again.

didn't you just say it was your first time drinking? and you already know your limit????

You say you won't drink again, but you will. Most first time drinkers say that, I did, but at my peak drinking I could drink a liter of whiskey without a problem and still not be puking. I was about 2 drinks away from alcoholism in high school.
 
For the uneasy stomach, this is going to sound odd, but try a couple of soft tacos from Taco Bell, just eat them slow. I have tried everything before; water, crackers, anything light to help my stomach out, but wouldn't keep it down. Then one day I tried Taco Bell and within 20 minutes after eating I felt good as new. Give it a shot!

Wow that's screwed up man.

lol ya...instead of blowing chunks out of your mouth, you'll be blowing them from your back end. The point of this exercise is to take your mind off the constant vomiting from your throat and center the focus on your goose.

You've never tried Bacardi 151. That stuff tastes like gasoline, and I guarantee, 5 shots will have you on your @$$ crawling to the toilet.

I am serious about the Taco Bell thing, it was great in college until they closed the Taco Bell in town that had been there for 3 years I was there and then in my final 4th year they opened up instead this place called Franks Burgers and Dogs, that lasted all of two weeks. Franks Burgers and Dogs in the Taco Bell building without the logos but same shape and appearance.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that Franks Burgers and Dogs was a fifties theme.
 
You say you won't drink again, but you will.

I drank a few times when I was 18, succeeded in getting drunk, then never drank again. I realized exactly how absurd it was, and I had never felt so immature for actually doing it. There's absolutely no social grace in getting drunk, and it can only lead to bad things.
 
I knew a kid who's experience was 1/2 bottle of Jack....

Sadly his last.... died from alcohol posioning. ( I guess he didn't puke, who knows)

I don't think I said I'd never drink again, but I'm not going to for a while, and I'll probably only do it when others are doing the same.

The aftermath just sucks. Ugh.

I meant to say that I knew when I had had enough to drink. I could just tell I shouldnt've gone any further.
 
Double cheeseburger and a milkshake. Hangover cure of champions.

Hasn't failed me yet.

Your "3-4 shots" had to have been a lot more than 3 or 4 shots...either that or you're a real lightweight with a low tolerance to alcohol. Anything over 6 made you puke? then you must've drank too fast...you gotta pace yourself. Pace yourself and you'll enjoy the night and wake up fine.

Well, yeah, I'm totally approximating on the shots measurement, but I do only weigh 140 pounds, I was drinking on an empty stomach, I drank everything in a period of 2-3 hours, and it WAS my first time ever. So basically, I was set up for getting trashed on very little.

And you're absolutely right about pacing.
 
Yeah, I went to college this year never having touched alcohol during high school, and I'm definately a few steps away from alcoholism.

My first time drinking was 3 shots.
My second time drinking was 5 beers and 17 shots of SoCo (18th birthday)... my friends say they got me a stripper, and if not for the pictures I wouldn't believe them. I don't remember it.

A month later during a power-drinking session I drank four and a half 40s of Olde English 800. Later that semester I was routinely polishing off kegs in one night with my suitemates...

But now my tolerance is in the toilet... I'm not that big of a guy. I seriously think that the only reason I had so much tolerance my first semester drinking was because of the sheer amount of will power I devoted to "being cool" and matching my friends who had been drinking since middle school drink for drink.

I've become a cheap date... oh well, a summer off from heavy drinking, then I'll start again full-force.
