🥴 once you were legally able to drink alcohol, did you go crazy with it 🥃?

[4ngelic]

pers i did. for the first few months of me being 18 i was basically an alcoholic. i'd get drunk almost everyday in public usually, i'd even show up to classes drunk kinda often (would even drink on purpose to make them less boring, cos to me everything was funner drunk)

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Where I live you can't drink until you're 21. My first drink was this watermelon flavored Barefoot drink and my sisters thought I'd like it. It wasn't that good (disappointment). But then for the next few days I drank the Seagrem's Escapes we had, and I absolutely loved them! Until my dad had to give me the talk on it and my mom told me the next day that I could get really sick even if I was only drinking 1 bottle a day. So yeah, at least I know the lesson is to not drink alcoholic drinks every day. Because if you do, then your body will depend on it just like if you drink coffee. And on another note, coffee can help you sober up a little bit when drinking.

like cigarettes my story is crazy.

when i was age 13 i went to a religious celebration and apparently because i was nerdy, they pressured me to get drunk at age 13!

a huge big gulp size cup like 2 pints. (around 1.5 liters?)

so the peer pressure started and i refused and argued but eventualy i caved and sipped some then argued but they kept pressuring me, and tried to drink it, and i stopped so they pressure again. over 20 minutes i forced it in.

kinda like donald duck gave his nephews cigarets so they get sick of it! i felt so dizzy!

so when i was old enough i knew to only drink small amounts so it was backwards, when not allowed to drink and smoke i got pressured to do both with stuff others bought, but when i was finally 18, no high scool peer pressure, so could stop drinking and smoking. crazy!

No. Drinking age here starts at 16 (14 with parents) for beer and wine and I tasted what my parents ordered in restaurants. I didn't like pretty much anything. The first beer that I really wanted to drink a whole bottle of I discovered in my mid-late twenties. Wine I have only when we are with dinner guests. Alcohol never was or will be important for me.

[Anonymous]

Nah my parents were alcoholics so I tended to stay away from it. Plus I don't like to lose control of myself.
Once tho when I was 20 I drank a bit more then half a 1.5L Bacardi rum bottle in only half an hour and blacked out at one of my dads Christmas parties. I was crawling around on the ground outside in the snow so my sister brought me home and basically I just laid on the kitchen floor and vomited all night my mom and sister had to watch I didn't die from choking on my vomit. Too bad I didn't lol.

[Simslover92]

Yep though I was drinking before I was legally able to once I got to college. I would drink bottles of different alcohol. I did gin only once though. Gin definitely makes you sin and in the worse way possible. I was dancing on light poles like a stripper and stripping off my clothes lol. Oh college days! I stuck to vodka mostly after that. Until I met Everclear. And then I started drinking that a lot. I wasn't a drunk but when I did drink, it was a lot. Now I rarely drink in my 30s. I think I drunk enough in my late teens and early 20s lol.

[Dinklex3]

No, I didn’t have my first drink until I was like 22 or 23, lol.

My sister realized I haven’t tried an alcoholic beverage yet and bought me some nasty ass soda beer thing that supposedly “didn’t taste like alcohol”.

Not a fan of alcohol. Just makes me sleepy and cry.

[IslaTheWitch]

no... but I did it after defending my thesis... both of them :D

lesson learned :D

[LonerInLife]

Nope. I had parents who got drunk, it was enough to turn me off ever wanting to ever drink any alcohol drinks.

[HighValue]

No. I don't drink alcohol at all. I have seen how people are that drink, the bad decisions they make, and the bad health effects it has on them. No thanks.

[strateguy632]

but those noticeable, are the ones that overdid it, most know when to stop.

[HighValue]

Around 70% of people I have known in life that drink alcohol had bad results. Usually poor decisions, but the older ones had health problems and/or died early because of it.

[Phoenix98]

Yup and that very same night I almost died due to alcohol poisoning which was so high the doctor said it was a literal miracle I was still breathing.

[bowenw]

A little at college parties, but it wasn't a daily thing.

[Account]

Actually no. I have never drunk much. It is just not my thing. Even when I started smoking I began quite old compared to other smokers.

[DrPepper12]

Yes. 21 in the states and we (LARGE group of guys) drank so much on that promotional low price beer that night we got the bartender fired. I still feel bad about that tbh.

[exitseven]

Not any crazier than any of my friends. It was a different time and if you went out on Saturday night you just assumed that all the other drivers on the road were also drunk.

[NamerOfStars]

No- but then, both sides of my family have strong histories of alcoholism, so my parents were both pretty conservative with it, and so was I.

[BCRanger10]

No. In fact, it took a few months for me to even find a drink that I liked.

[The_Sexpert]

I used to carry a hip flask which was filled with Jack and Coke during the first year of college

[jamesgoldman]

Nah, I'd done enough illegally to cover the craziness

Nowadays if I'm socialising I'll get out the bottle of black label and drink half with cola but I'll function happily on that

[Apple1996]

Nah I mostly only drank illegally so by 21 I didn't care for alcohol at all

[CheeseMonster]

No, I still haven't drank alcohol. I just don't have any reason to.

[PrinceWalnut]

Nope. It tastes like shit. I don't see a reason to pay more money for an awful drink

[strateguy632]

it is sour or bitter!

[lilBigPotato]

Not more than before 🥴

[BLP11520]

Yes I enjoyed vomiting 🤮

[Nikki1989]

I have never been a big drinker.

[mandyfire98]

Yeah it was college so it was happening already.

[jahaims]

I drank way before I was legal

[NathanDavis]

nope

[CubaPirate]

I went crazy on it before then

[abc3643]

No, not at all.

[Anonymous]

not crazy, but I did over-indulge.

[LavLavLuv]

Nope

[MrDaveAPSI]

Nope

[shortster]

Nope

[ballweevil]
