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?
stay hydrated
thx!!
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/
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!
the name blackwitch makes me think it’s a girl, but who knows- i’d definitely like to reiterate what you’re saying there about trust- a significant number of men have absolutely no problem getting women too drunk to deny consent in the moment
Yup, it’s a common thing that happens everywhere, even between friends, especially when they’re young/immature and have not been taught how to behave and treat others with respect and civility.
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.
First you should know that both weight and gender matters for how much alcohol you can tolerate. Males can take more alcohol than women - perhaps 20% more. The heavier you are the more you can take as well - twice the weight takes roughly twice the alcohol. Don’t just drink the same amount as the experienced people you are with, but consider those factors so it doesn’t get out of hand.
Second, know that you will keep getting more drunk for a while (maybe 30-45 minutes) after you stop drinking. If the room starts spinning, take a break even if you feel like you can take more. And don’t be afraid to say no if people try to push you. It would be a shame if the evening ends early for you because you get sick.
As far as the weed goes there isn’t much to worry about. It is impossible to overdose. It will slow your mind for a day or two though, so don’t do it up to an exam or things like that.
Finally, have fun! 😊
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Eat a lot of pickles.
I have never seen or heard of that before, and I’m an almost 40 year old Dane. We have a pretty widespread drinking culture.
Snacks are nice while drinking, but most here go for crisps, nuts or similar.
If you have friends from the Slavic countries like poland, ask them. They will confirm ;) The belief is that the electrolytes help and the salt makes you drink more (hopefully water). However, studies don’t really support this (though there aren’t many).
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
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.
- 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
Your circumstances are different, but consider the lyrics to the song “Almost Summer” by Jason Collett for a typical experience… https://youtu.be/xVnF0GsiwoY
