I can't handle alcohol!
How do I learn to handle alcohol better? I hate the taste, it makes me gag and I can get drunk after to Mike's Hards. Its ridiculous, I hate being the girl at the party that can't shoot whiskey or play beer pong because the tastes make me hurl immediately. Or the one that throws up and passes out after a couple of drinks! I want to at least be able to handle a party well. Anyone else have this problem? Is it because of my weight being smaller than some?
Female: 118lbs/ 22yrs old.

Some people enjoy the taste of alcohol, whereas others don't. Personally, beer is disgusting and I prefer to drink spirits with mixers. Straight spirits mostly make me feel sick and they just taste bad and burn.. so I put lemonade/coke or fruit juice with them.
Maybe you just haven't found a drink you like, but there's so many out there, and a lot don't even taste like alcohol, just fruit juice.
Can you drink vodka? If you don't like fizzy drinks, mix it with orange/apple/pineapple juice - it's really nice! There's also really good tasting spirits out there, like cherry/blackcurrant etc.. and when mixed with lemonade taste great.
Your alcohol tolerance is most probably to do with the build of your body and the fact maybe you're not used to drinking. Also, factors like what you've eaten that day (if you don't eat much, you will get drunk - fast) and the fact you are female will play a part.. To be honest, alcohol just isn't cut out for some people and no matter how much they try.. just do not enjoy it and can't handle it well. There could even be an underlying medical problem which causes this.
Time will tell I suppose. For now, just find drinks you like and stick to them. If it turns out your body just doesn't like alcohol and you don't want to feel left out at a party, stick to something with a low alcohol content and schedule your drinks so you don't go over board.

Try a light (in color, not necessarily calories) beer, mix in orange juice until the ratio is tolerable (assuming you enjoy orange juice).
Each beer has a different flavor, some you'll like more than others (some will work with orange juice better than others). Remember, most bars will allow you to sample things off of their taps (especially micro-brews). Eventually you'll find a drink that's right for you.

Honestly, I think alcohol just isn't meant for some people. I've never been able to stand the taste either. I just don't drink, even when I'm at parties. Yeah, people sometimes look at you funny when everyone else is drinking, but hey. There's no reason to do something you don't really like just to fit in. And you can have a perfectly good time without alcohol.

I have only had alcohol a few times but I am the same way. I never have to worry about being a drunk, because I cannot stand the way it tastes. You can't force yourself to like it. No one does. Consider it a good thing. You just deal with it, I guess.
Your weight can have a lot to do with why you can't handle alcohol well. The lower your weight, the lower your tolerance for alcohol. Eat while you drink. That will help you tolerate it better. Pace yourself as well. Have a drink, once the tipsy feeling wears off, have another. You will be able to better assess how drunk you are getting to keep you from getting wasted. You know your limit. Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated. That will keep you from getting a hangover.
Drink responsibly :)
