There is NO way to become "un-drunk." Alcohol takes time to go through your system, and nothing can speed up that process. The myths you may have heard about there being a remedy to make alcohol go through your system faster are untrue.
Plus, even if you just drink a beer or two, you're still going to have your breath smell like it.
You don't HAVE to drink. You're about to enter high school; don't start out thinking you have to do something just because everyone else is doing it. Learning to say "no" is a skill you need to learn now. I know you've heard that a million times, but it's true.
Really, don't drink. The chances of your parents and cousins finding out are way, way too high.

Here's the thing. You don't just GET drunk. It doesn't just HAPPEN. You have to drink to get drunk. So guess how you can keep from getting drunk... that's right, don't drink.
If you drink, people WILL find out. I can't stress this to you enough. I can smell smoke/alcohol on people just as well as the next person, and I will tell you that it's not just your breath that smells- it's your entire body. Because if you so much as break a sweat, you smell like alcohol. That's your body trying to get rid of the toxins.
"any advice about going or what i can do if i get drunk."
Here's my advice. Don't get drunk. How can you avoid that? Don't drink. If you know you'll drink if you go to the party...
DON'T GO.
If you don't have self-control (which I'm kind of doubting that you do at this point) then just stay away from it. How does an MIP (minor in possession) sound? Not very good?
Siren_Cytherea answered Tuesday June 3 2008, 8:37 am: You can control the situation, that's what you can do. There's no excuse for "ending up drunk" unless you have absolutely no self-control, or the punch was spiked and you didn't know. There is no reason you can't say "No, I'd rather not drink," or "No thanks, I'm just gonna have fun at the carnival," or even "Hey, I'm only 13 (14?). It's illegal, I don't wanna risk getting in trouble."
There's no way to fix drunkenness except time. Bread does not "work." The only thing it does is act as a buffer to prevent the alcohol from irritating your stomach and making you sick. Alcohol IS a form of poison. When you drink, the poison that makes you all goofy goes into your bloodstream, it doesn't sit in your stomach to be soaked up by a loaf of bread or anything similar. Hence "blood alcohol level."
If you do "wind up drunk," if your parents ask you, you tell them the truth. Lying to your parents may seem like a good idea at the time, but if you have the guts to tell them the truth they'll respect you for doing it. Trust me. I've tried both ends of the spectrum. Your parents will be angrier about the fact that you lied to them than the fact that you drank. If you show them you have the presence of mind to know that you did something wrong, but that you did it in moderation, they'll believe you have self control and they'll be able to trust you. Speaking from experience here. My parents didn't like me going to parties at fourteen at first, but when nothing bad happened, I was never hungover the next day, and my parents didn't have to deal with any of the problems that can come with drinking, they realized I had a brain, and good judgment.
So, show your parents that they didn't raise an idiot. Have one or two drinks if you really must, and stop at that.
Keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.

Also ,just make sure you don't drink alot anyways , like maybe a cooler or a beer , but know your limits.Make sure you have a close , non drinking friend watch your alcohal intake and make sure she can stop you.
One last thing , please , PLEASE don't drive with anyone who's had ANYTHING to drink...and if you see someone trying to drink and drive, make sure you tell someone like older , so they can stop them..
Brandi_S answered Tuesday June 3 2008, 6:05 am: Best advice you'll hear all day- DON'T DRINK.
See how simple of a solution that is?
No, there is nothing to make being drunk go away, nor is there a way to reduce the effects of being drunk. You may hear of things, but I promise it is all myth.
