my first drunk experience was at 14. found some alcohol in the fridge/on the counter (don’t remember which), the places my dad usually leaves his alc. poured myself some when he was in the other room and drank it in front of my friend on facetime.

didn’t quite vomit but nearly did. he told me i was entertaining but also really weird (kept talking about communism and communist china?)

i also remember saying “i love you” to him but he fortunately hung up right before i said that.

    I’ll let you know when/if it happens.

    I was too uncool to ever be in a binge drinking peer pressure situation and have yet to find an alcoholic drink I actually like the taste of, so I’ve never managed to drink enough in one sitting to feel any significant effects.

    Don’t get me wrong: I want to like cocktails, as all the flavor combinations seem pretty interesting. It’s just that whenever I actually try one, I’m disappointed by how the bitter taste of the alcohol ruins whatever else is going on in the drink.

      Ican only drink something if it’s somewhat diluted. If it’s too noticeable Iepxerience it like how hand desinfectant smells. Especially high volume stuff. Just not enjoyable. :/

      What I actually enjoy is a citrus heavy gin tonic that is basically diluted to <10%.
      But I probably could drink it without gin anyway.

      Now something like Sake (for example mixed with yuzu) actually tastes good without being heavy in alcohol taste.

      Yeah, same here. I’m middle aged and I’ve never been drunk. I don’t see the appeal, and most alcohol is nasty.

      Amaretto and Coke is tasty. Doesn’t taste like alcohol at all to me; i dont particularly like alcohol either, but do like the flavors it introduces for cooking.

    I was 21 years old.

    CW: Descriptions of Being Sick

    Decided the best way to begin drinking was to do shots of Southern Comfort with my roommate. I got like blackout drunk, woke up hours later needing to vomit… I ran to the bathroom where I found my roommate passed out in the bathtub in the fetal position in his own sick. I turned to the toilet as the SoCo and bile made its way to the top of my throat, it was go time, now or never… to my horror both the seat and the lid were down. My mouth filled as I tried to get the lid open and then… disaster struck. The puke hit the diagonal plain of the half raised lid and sprayed all over the walls and toilet tank. I then slipped and face planted into the tank giving myself a black eye.

    I didn’t drink for two years after that night.

    On my 21st every guy at the bar got me a different shot.

    I don’t remember much but I made it home and turned myself inside out.

    I didn’t want to get too drunk ever again

    Did you have a hangover for hours the next day which made it difficult to watch the Superbowl?

    I was eight years old at the drive. My older cousin had taken me. He gave me a Sonic cup that had Dr pepper and peach schnapps. I got drunk as shit. My mom found out and was absolutely pissed at him. I’ll tell you what he did when there’s a “How old were you when you did drugs for the first time?”

        I’ve only tried edibles and they had no impact at all. Whatever’s going on with my liver may also put me in this category:

        https://kolas.com/blog/why-dont-edibles-get-me-high

        50mg in gummies did nothing, 16mg in coconut oil did nothing. I need to try upping the oil dosage.

        Also strangely resistant to anasthesia. Had to be put under for open heart surgery and kept talking to the doctors:

        “So should I feel something yet?”

        “Hang on, it’s coming.”

        “Feels like I should be counting backwards or something…”

        “Let’s up the dosage…”

    Probably about 14. My parents had a well stocked liquor cabinet. Enough stuff to where I could try small amounts of various things and not be noticed.

    1. Little me waddled around the house when there was a party. Parents didn’t look for like a minute and I found empty beer bottles and tried the last drops in them. Turns out it doesn’t take a lot of beer to get a 2 year old drunk. Slept very well afterwards.
