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?

      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
