I got drunk for the first time on... Saturday I think it was...
no throwing up no hangover, yay.
Some advice on drinking:
Mixing drinks
-Expensive booze is for tasting, cheap booze is for mixing. Don't make a gin and tonic with Gordon's, and don't make trashcan punch with Bombay Sapphire.
-The key to most mixed drinks is to keep them cold and use less mixer, adding more to taste. Often drinks that taste bad are made too weak, not too strong.
Hangovers
-A hangover is a combination of dehydration and lack of B-12. It can be avoided by drinking water in between drinks (1:1) and/or drinking a bunch of water before you go to bed.
-Sweet drinks and cheep wine give the worst hangovers. This is epitomized by Boons Farm.
-They can be cured best by not getting them. Failing that, several glasses of water, two multi-vitamins, and a couple pain killers are the best I've come up with.
Vomiting
-If you get puking drunk,
you're doing it wrong. Booze is expensive enough, you don't need to go wasting it just to embarrass yourself.
-Find someplace appropriate.
-Drinking water will draw out the process, but prevents hangovers and liver damage.
Sex
-Just don't. Beer and penises don't get along. If they're that hot and that in to you it'll still be a good idea in the morning.
You might want to reconsider your drinking habits if:
-If you use "hair of the dog" to cure a hangover.
-If you don't remember what you did the next day. Blackouts mean you're wavering back and forth on the line of serious alcohol poisoning (not epic partying).
There is no such thing as "alcohol abuse". If you don't want the beer, don't finish it. If the drink tastes bad, don't finish it. If someone pours you a shot you aren't ready for, give it to someone else.
