Drinking and bad/good friends?

[bunnyboo364]

ok so i turn 18 next week and i know the legal age to drink is 21. so i made a friend about two weeks ago and we’ve been super close. and it was refreshing to have a friendship where you don’t talk shit about each other or about other people. anyway she went into her room/her roommate came in too and they drunk alcohol. now i was offered some and i only drink 4 TINY sips just because i was curious of the taste. normally i’m not the person to do drinking or smoking. but i felt a bit empowered that i was doing something that I wanted to do. but then my friend group called me and i answered, i wasn’t drunk but i sounded drowsy because i was tired and i told them that. so i go up to the room, chill, and excited to talk to my friends. They all give me weirded out/judgy looks and don’t say anything for a second. And they’re like “girl what are you doing” and they were saying i wasn’t being safe around the people i took drinks with. and that bc i’m always making sure my friends are safe that i can’t do stuff like that? i can tell they care a bit but it still made me feel like a horrible person for even taking 3 sips. it was funny too because one of my friends who said that, was the same one who asked to come drink with me. And now they’re claiming i’m being fake, and not talking to them anymore but the reason for that because i don’t feel 100% comfortable and safe being friends. it’s always someone in the group talking about each other, treating someone else horribly, messing things up for someone, so me making another friend makes sense. but yeah i feel guilty and bad for even taking 4 sips, how do i get rid of that guilt.

First of all i'm german so we can drink beer and wine at 16 and hard alcohol at 18. You should just drink if, when and with who you feel like it and you should only test your limit with people you can trust. About the situation with your friend i only can say talk to them about it. If they don't know what you think they did wrong they can't explain why they did that. After talking about it everything will get back to normal soon. Sorry for the long answere

I just woke up and I'm drinking... I drank myself to sleep... now I drink to wake up. I'm smoking like crazy. I'm probably going to tell the kids to go fuck off because I need to use the bathroom to drink and smoke while I rub one out to midget clown porn. I think I might have a few dead bodies hidden in my house.

... but you feel guilty about 4 sips of alcohol? You're interesting.

You should not feel guilty. You only had a little bit. You probably did not even feel any different. Just drink in moderation and only when you want to.

[bunnyboo364]

Yeah I didn’t feel any difference besides me being different. I honestly wasn’t feeling the drink either, but i feel like if i go drink it would be at the legal age then and alone in my apartment

There is nothing wrong with just not drinking at all.

Cut yourelf some slack, jack!

Wanna know how you get older and wiser? You have lots of experiences, make lots of mistakes, but you also look at what you've done so you don't make the same mistake again.

EVERYBODY makes mistakes! As long as you learn from your experiences, you are on the right path!

Don't let it bring you down and just pick up where you left off and things will change and get better for you.

[bunnyboo364]

Will do (: Tysm

@bunnyboo364 Best wishes and you're welcome :)

Everyone does things they aren't supposed to do when they are a teenager. You only had a couple sips. Don't let it bother you. You just have to ask yourself, do I want to hang out with people who are a bad influence or my old friends who gossip a lot?

[Jamie05rhs]

You're in a tough spot. On the one hand, you have a group of gossipers. On the other hand, you have a group of alcoholics.

Unfortunately, this is the advice that I'm going to give you: stick with your original friend group. At least that way you are less likely to get into serious trouble.

I know it was only 4 sips; but it always starts somewhere...

Don’t sweat it, the drinking age in most of the world is 18, it’s perfectly normal to drink at that age, I had my first drink in a pub at 15

[bunnyboo364]

I honestly thought i was late in trying drinking

[jjj101010]

No it’s absolutely fine, I messaged u by the way

Tell your friends they are making a mountain out of a molehill.

You don't need to get rid of any guilt. What you did was not big deal just don't do it again with people you hardly know ok

[Anonymous]

you have no need to feel guilty you educated yourself to what alcohol tastes like and broke out of your comfort zone even if it was slightly. just don't make a habit of drinking

[innerman]

Keep drinking,
It’s when your sober that you feel guilty

[Hanrej]

It wears off. 😊

It’s four sips and I think by limiting yourself to that, you were being responsible
