Get Drunk?


Question Posted Friday July 27 2007, 2:18 am

My bff parties sometimes. She is a very good student, so are the people she parties with. Sometimes she has these "parties" at her house with just maybe no more than 15 people, all good friends. She is eighteen.

I am sixteen, and although I've never been to any of her parties, I want to try it. I've never been drunk in my life. If I do go to a party, it will be a very safe environment. I am planning on getting a little drunk, but I am not going to drive (I will sleep over at her house), I will not try drugs (and no drugs will be present, none of her friends do them).

Should I do it? I am a very uptight person, so I think it will be nice for me to just let loose and have fun. I am not planning it to become a habit (partying), but I definitely want to try it.

What do you think? I will be one hundred percent safe there.

How do people act when they're drunk? How many beers does it take to get drunk? I am not planning to get drunk drunk, but just a little bit drunk.

i would go for it... i mean your only a teenager once.. and you're not gonna be an idiot about it. wait at least 20 minutes between drinks so you know how its gonna effect you and don't have over 6 beers/shots total. when people are drunk, they act like their normal selves only a little bit more relaxed and they might say things that they normally wouldn't... like something on their mind that they just normally would think twice about. they also might be a little stumbly when they walk, and a lot of times they'll just kinda go to sleep/pass out because alcohol makes you tiredd. yeah so just be careful and have fun!

"How many beers does it take to get drunk?" That depends. There are several factors that determine your level of alchol tolerance. One factor is body weight. I have always been little and I have always had a very low alchol tolerance.

"How do people act when they're drunk?" In short: stupid. Think about it... It inhibits your judgement, causes you to slur, stumble, and even vomit or lose conciousness. Contrary to popular belief, no one is attractive when they drink.

I understand that you're discovering who you are, you're curious, and you want to experiment. And I commend you for trying to be safe. But I advise you NOT to attend this party. It's a bad idea. I could give you a list of reasons why... But you've all ready heard them. So... Instead I would like to point out that you've logged onto the internet and asked perfect strangers for their approval... Which means that you're either uncomfortable with the idea or know that it's wrong... or both. If not, why did you ask? If so... if you're gut tells you not to do it... DON'T!

I can understand where you're coming from, I'm pretty much like you, except I don't have any interest to party and get even the tinyest bit drunk. Almost all of my friends drink and party. I like to party, but I don't drink. I've seen what it does to people, my dad died from drinking. And I couldn't bare putting myself, or anyone else through that. So I don't recommend it, unless you just go there and have fun. The drinking is what I'm most, strongly against. Please, consider my opinion.

It was very brave of you to seek advice on this matter. You are obviously being tempted to step into something you shouldn't. I want to "high five" LaUgh OuT LoUd xOx. (Laura) She is right on the money with her advice. However, I will add this...I hope you choose not to go to the party at all. You are not only putting yourself in a place of doing something illegal, going to the party will most likely make the temptation to drink even greater. Peer pressure is tough, but fight through it and do the right thing...you will be glad you did.

ok first of all im not suggesting it because not is it only illegal for you to drink, but depending on where you live, its also illegal for your friend to, and once you get alittle drunk, you probably will get alot drunk, and then end up having drugs anyway, and maybe even have sex, believe me its like a snowball you just keep catching more crap as you go on, now dont get me wrong i really want to get wasted to really bad, but i know its bad for me and it wont be worth it, and you cant be "100% safe" anywhere where theres alchahol, or drugs, and also maybe you want to get drunk because your bored and you got nothing better to think about then to get drunk, maybe get some summer actiivty and it'll get your mind off the temptation

Well, I think it is your chose. But, if you want to loosen up, then go for it.

Getting drunk depends on your body weight. If you are a small person around 100 pounds you are going to get drunk a lot faster than if you were around 120 pounds. Unless your body has become accustumed to it, not in your case though, this is mostly for guys.

But, for most girls it usually takes 1 beer to make them become a little tipsy, but 1.5 or 2 beers to become a little drunk. If you want to become tipsy/ alittle drunk but don't want beer, take 1 or 2 shots of hard alcohol. If they have that there. Ex. Vodka, Whisky, Rum, ect. (Vodka is the best tasting. )

If you don't want to get drunk, stay away from the Hard Alcohol! It gets you done A LOT faster than beer.

I'm going to take a guess and say that you will probably not like beer. Most girls don't, this again you have to be accustumed to. For some people the taste just grows on them.

So have fun and be safe about it!

This doesen't sound right to me. At all.
I don't think you should do it.
I mean, you can go to the party, but don't get drunk. It won't really help solve anything.
I've seen this happen to people many times. My entire school minus about 15 percent (including myself) has drinking problems. You drink once, and then people always nag you to drink again. Eventually, you're going to give in. Then, you end up drinking on a regular basis, and you're hooked. You're ruining your body, and getting hooked on a really bad and hard to break habit.
What would the point be anyways? I know you said you're uptight and all, but you don't have to let loose by drinking. You can find a better way, a SAFER way. Also, has it ever occured to you that drinking when you're 16 is ILLEGAL? I don't mean to lecture you or sound mean in any way, I am just trying to help you. I don't want what's happened to so many people to happen to you, when you sound like a good kid already. Trust me, drinking isn't the answer.
Good Luck. Make the right choice =]

-Laura. (15-f)

EDIT.
You sound very responsible! And I'm glad to know that you're planning for a positive future, and not letting any of this get in the way. It's good to see that you're a good person with a good head on your shoulders. Have a nice day =]
