So this will be my first time getting drunk drunk, and my friend is a year older than me and has done it several times before. I could have him watch me, but there may be a chance that he’d be high/drunk too, so what are some things to watch out for and consider during my first time getting drunk if I’m able to go to his house?
Don’t take MDMA or cocaine while drinking, it’s toxic and you will likely blackout, especially on the molly. Never take benzos while drinking, it’s a waste of benzos and you will definitely black out and potentially even die.
Hallucinogens generally don’t mix with alcohol, although some people claim LSD and a couple drinks go well together.
Cannabis will intensify your tipsiness when drinking. It is or used to be called being “cross-faded”. If you are going to smoke cannabis and drink, smoke first as it will regulate how much alcohol you consume.
Lastly it’s important to remember how alcohol works. The fun chemicals in your brain get produced as your BAC increases. To have the most fun, less negative side effects you stretch your alcohol out over your drinking period. So let’s say you plan to have six drinks over 4 hours. You will enjoy the experience much more if you have two drinks for the first 3 hours, rather than taking 4 shots in the first hour and then two drinks after it. Once the BAC stops rising the fun stops and you are left with mostly negatives of dizziness, fogginess and possibly nausea.
Pacing yourself is key. As you get tipsy and feel good, the tendency will be to feel “yeah, let’s have another and feel this even more!” and to drink more before what you’ve already drank has taken effect.
Drinks on an empty stomach will hit you faster. And be more likely to upset your stomach. Drinking with food is generally a better experience, but because this slows your absorbtion, you need to pace yourself even more.
But if the drinking does get away from you and you start to feel sick, let yourself throw up. You will feel better for it.
Some drugs you should absolutely not be getting drunk with. Do your research to ensure it’s safe. Other drugs I kinda just wouldn’t bother. I’d say either get high or get drunk, both seems like overkill. I’d pick getting high so you don’t feel like shit the next day but you do you.
Take it slow, keep hydrated, have food and snacks available. Don’t do shots, don’t try and rush it
- Esteja perto de pessoas que você confia quando for usar, em especial alguém que vai estar sóbrio.
- Busque sobre as drogas que você pretende consumir, quando mais você souber, melhor
- Evite misturar
Do it only in a safe environment. Eat a lot of pickles. Eat constantly. Don’t try to push alcohol until you hit the limit. Just push it a bit further than usual. There’s no need to blindly go for it all. Drink at least half a litre of water before allowing you to go to sleep.
If you need to vomit, just do it. It’s better than trying to keep it in.
Drink water regularly and remember alcohol has a latency, you only feel the full effects about 30mns after ingesting. So keep it slow. Drinking is best done at a slow pace
Do one or the other, not both.
solid advice. it’s pretty easy to get the spins if you are not used to this combination or either of the drugs. if you absolutely must, go very slow.
stay hydrated
Yeah — on the rare occasion that I have a night out, when I get home I drink more water than I need to not feel thirsty (about two glasses). Alcohol makes you dehydrated and when you wake up in the morning that makes a hangover massively worse.
Personally I find hangovers worse than the enjoyment of getting drunk, so typically won’t have more than 2/3 drinks anyway \o/
And don’t drink spirits. Keep your drinks to lower alcohol percentages (e.g. beer) so you can control your intake and moderate how quickly you get drunk and how drunk you get.
And if you start to notice you’re struggling with basic motor skills (using your hands, walking, standing, etc) it’s time to stop and switch to water. And maybe eat some carbohydrates and fats.
Exactly. Spirits can kill you and you have to try reeeaally hard with beer
thx!!
Don’t do it.
If you’ve never been drunk and/or high before AND you’re asking the internet for what to watch out for, you’re not being safe no matter what.
I am a happy and fun drunk. I am lucky. You could be any kind of drunk. From mean and belligerent to downright fucking stupid to sad and weepy. You need a friend who loves you enough to put up with a large amount of shit from you depending on who you turn into. There is a huge spectrum of drunk and you don’t even know where you fall.
NOW, we’ll turn to the fact you’ve got a “friend” that you don’t trust enough to ask them to stay sober. WHO you are around when drinking is just as important as any other safety measure. It’s literally just as important as not driving while drunk.
You want to get drunk, fine. I don’t care how old you are (from your question I assume under legal age) don’t skip basic safety to do it. Arrange a time and place with people you trust. Worst case scenario you have one less night drinking.
Remember it takes 30+ minutes for the alcohol to hit your system. Especially if you have a stomach full of food.
What that means for drinking is stop early!! Stop way before you start to feel woozy, or you’re in for a bad time. Especially if it’s anything harder than beer.
Also, mixing alcohol and weed makes the effects a lot stronger. If you mix both heavily, don’t be shocked if you feel like zonking out. Also don’t do both heavily.
Good advice here.
The faster you drink, the drunker you get and the longer it takes to sober up. Your liver doesn’t hurry things along just because you were dumb. It’s a linear processing speed. And don’t take any meds that dunk on your liver either. No acetaminophen/paracetamol.
And when your liver is busy with alcohol, it isn’t doing glucose (fat metabolism things) management. You’re likely to have low blood sugar if you don’t eat after drinking.
For weed: maybe you’ll be unfortunate like me and have a vasovagal syncope response (fainting). Alcohol enhances the effect.
First of all if you’re a girl, make sure you trust your male friend. (Unless genders are not an issue here). Secondly, like others in the comments said, pace yourself, keep hydrated, stick to low alcohol drinks like beer, don’t turn it into a challenge or a show-off of how much you can drink or smoke. Thirdly avoid driving. And last but not least, have fun and hope you don’t puke a lot. Cheers!
It’s really easy to feel like so far, everything has been feeling great and you’re not even really that drunk yet so why not have another drink? It’s also easy, each time you have a drink to be less good at deciding if having another one is a good idea until you’re quite suddenly really quite drunk and now you can’t do anything about it and also the effect continues so my best advice is, if it’s feeling ‘pretty great, I could take more’, that’s the perfect time to stop because you’ve probably got away with the buzz you wanted but not all the consequences of getting way drunker than you meant to.
It’s probably too late to meaningfully contribute to this thread, but I think this is the best advice I’ve read so far.
Thanks mate haha glad my veteran underage drinking shenanigans were good for something other than misspent youth. Hope OP saw it before they decided that another drink will probably be fine. 🥳🥴🤢🤮😪
Drink water, eat food, pace yourself
Be sure to take a little walk after a few drinks. It’s easy to be feeling good while sitting down and drinking, and then feel way to drunk once you stand up and move around.
Pace your drinks and don’t have to many too quickly. I like to keep to two or three drinks an hour if I wana cut loose and have fun without feeling like death later. This will vary from person to person so maybe keep it to two drinks since your not used to being drunk drunk.
Have lots of water.
Getting high after getting drunk is a fast way to get the spins. Don’t do this. It’s not fun.
Eat before you drink.
Your first one or two drinks are to get you drunk. After those wait half an hour for your system to absorb all the alcohol, then take a moment and reassess. Is this comfortable? Do I feel sick? Can I get up and walk around? Am I aware of my surroundings?
If you feel good but noticeably drunk then slow way down, this is when you need to switch from getting drunk to staying drunk. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water to stay hydrated.
