start with some beer
i woudent go for anything hard yet if its your first time
i went to a party yesterday and got bear mace in the face
[QUOTE=PiPBoyV3;17644377]I have never gotten drunk and never tasted more than a sip of beer or vodka in my life. I'm guessing they're going to have a wide variety of alcohol there to choose from, and I want to know what kind tastes the best.[/quote]
Fuck, I've never been to a party that actually supplied free booze. I've always had to bring my own. You're a lucky bastard, drink everything to find what you like. (Just don't constantly alternate between beer and hard liquor or you [b]will[/b] get sick.)
[QUOTE=PiPBoyV3;17644377]I know this is going to be a mixed bag of opinions, but try to think of something that someone who has never consumed alcohol would like. Also, I'm not looking to get shitfaced, just enough to get tipsy, and I want to avoid puking if necessary. [/quote]
First-time drinkers never seem to like beer. Whiskey & Coke was the first drink I ever had, and I still like it. I recommend starting out with different mixes as you can make them as strong or as light as you want. Don't go nuts on your first one or you won't want to drink it.
That being said, if there is a variety of different beers you should try those too. Checking out different beers from different countries is truly a gentleman's sport.
[QUOTE=PiPBoyV3;17644377]Also, share your first partying experiences with me, I want to hear them. I know most people get a taste of it early in highschool, but I am a deprived child (I'm also the oldest).[/quote]
I started drinking at 13. Yeah, I know. Don't feel bad about not being a drunk at a young age, it really isn't something to brag about. I used to be extremely irresponsible with alcohol and have gotten in a lot of trouble because of it. Just find your limits and don't try to push them, although I DO hold the record for most Prairie Fire shots (Tequila & Hot Sauce) at a little local bar and got my photo is on the wall because of it. So if you ARE going to be an idiot about it, [i]aim high.[/i]
[QUOTE=PiPBoyV3;17644377]And contrary to what my educational history is, I'm a pretty laid back kinda guy, and I'm at the point where I believe science conquers over religion, despite what I've been taught.[/quote]
Good man.
[QUOTE=PiPBoyV3;17644377]Ah, I apologize for digressing, but I wanted you guys to get an idea for the kind of person I am. Well, fuck it, thread, begin.[/QUOTE]
Don't apologize. There's some good discussion to be had here.

You've heard [b]wrong[/b].
If you can't remember it, how terrible can it be? :v:
Huh, my most well-thought-out post is on the topic of booze. That says a lot.
Watch this very carefully, that's all you really need to know.

[QUOTE=TheAnarchist;17644591]Something with about 4,5% vol alcohol in it (plenty if you want to get tipsy), that's a definite. Taste varies a lot... Stay away from beer, really: the foam clogging your throat can be a pain in the ass, the taste it bad (both ways if you know what I mean) and it smells. I'd suggest a good cider with 4,5% (do you have Somersby or Rekorderlig?) or a pre-mix with the same. Some sweet wine is good too.[/QUOTE]
dont drink at parties because it tastes good
drink at parties to get drunk and have fun
don't leave your drink unattended!!!!!!!
Haha, so no more than two beers, and stay away from beer if possible because it tastes horrible. I really would've liked to "test the waters" before I had done this, I've had chances, but I was just not interested. And I really believe that the best way to learn most things in life is to just plunge in headfirst , so to speak.

Beer doesn't taste horrible. Take that back, heathen.
It's just not for a first-timer. Beer's an acquired taste.
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;17644509]No, no one would care.
Nobody cares if you drink or not. Well, unless you party with children.[/QUOTE]
True, nobody would care, you'll usually just be sitting in the corner.
Anyway, the OP stated his intent to drink, so I think we should stay at that.

it doesnt taste as bad as you seem to think it
Drink as much as possible, then whatever happens, whether you get lucky or not, you won't remember that shit.
[QUOTE=Grayron;17644674]it doesnt taste as bad as you seem to think it[/QUOTE]
does?
get money, fuck bitches

Did I say something contradicting that?

doesnt
[QUOTE=Grayron;17644725]doesnt[/QUOTE]
I am so confused now.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;17644734]I am so confused now.[/QUOTE]
oh i see what you mean
yes, does
Stay away from pretty much all hard liquors other than Rum. They burn like hell when you start out drinking.
ALSO RULE #1 IN DRINKING:
Clear beverages = Get hammered fast
If the liquid you consume is clear and you presume it to contain alcohol don't drink it. You are just starting out and pretty much all of the strongest beverages at your local party are going to be clear. They allow you to easily over drink.
Getting absolutely smashed is no fun if you don't remember shit and piss everyone off while you're at it so experiment and figure out how much you have to drink before that happens. If you don't know how much booze gets you that drunk you're gonna fuck up.
Also drinking for taste is where it's at, if you don't you will never be classy as fuck
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;17644711]That's bollocks.
Nobody would mind. Why would they?[/QUOTE]
You don't seem to understand. It's true that nobody cares if you're not drunk per say, but it's very hard to be social with drunk people if you're not drunk yourself. Drunk people find interest in ridiculous things (like dancing), sober people don't.

yup
[QUOTE=Victor Leferve;17644711]That's bollocks.

I'm sure nobody would mind, it would just be counter-intuitive. Why would I go to my first party and NOT drink? I've never done it before, and it's a big thing apparently; I want to see what it's all about. And when you think about it, having a full stomach would seem like a bad thing, really. "I'm going to drink a lot of high-Ph drinks, better make sure my stomach is full so I can throw it all up..." But whatever, I'll make sure I'm full before I go.
To get tipsy, stick to beer or cider. Cider is a really good party drink since it's not too strong and everyone likes it, it's the main drink at most parties I go to. So try that.
Take a swig of rum or vodka or whatever but don't drink loads. Just take it slow, get tipsy, talk to loads of people and don't get too hammered. Have fun of course. I don't think beer tastes horrible, it's a preference.
Also if you're offered a cigarrette or even some weed, do what you want. It's not going to kill you first time (unless you're reeeaaally unlucky) You can stay away if you want but there's no harm in trying things. Unless you get addicted that is.
Judging from your weight you'll be drunk after a couple of cans, if that. Don't get carried away is the point. And have fun!
Also I'll tell you about my first partay:
It was BYOB but I didn't have anything so I decided to have whatever was there. I got there, said hi to everyone, congratulated the host (it was his birthday or something) then someone set me up with a large bottle of Strongbow (cider) which was passed around in our little group, it didn't taste great, honestly Strongbow really is just a drink for sipping, but I was trying to get drunk since I was a bit late to the party, so I ignored the flavour. A few of my closer friends were in the back garden smoking. I'd never smoked before then, and I knew that all of them except one weren't smokers. Me, and most of my friends are the sort of people that smoke at parties but wouldn't really do it otherwise. So I joined them for a cigarette, as I said there's no harm in trying, and it wasn't like I could just go to a shop and buy some if was addicted, since I was underage. My smoker friend gave me one and taught me how, I coughed and spluttered first time and everyone laughed, but I got the hang of it, all cool. Carrying on I continued with the cider, and had some swigs of vodka. There was also a round of alcopops but I don't really remember that part. Then another person came and he had two 2litre bottles of fanta and coke, the fanta had vodka in and the coke was mixed with rum. He joined me for another cigarette and I drank quite a lot of his Rum and Coke (it was love at first sight. Captain Morgan's Rum + Coke = pure epic and win) then I don't remember much. We all went inside for a round of beers, and then we ended up in the front room spread out on the floor, someone had a bottle of Malibu coconut flavoured Rum, which we took a swing of and passed around until that was gone. I learnt that Dr Pepper and Coconut flavoured rum was an awesome combo. Then we called some friends with the stupid "HEY MAN, HOW ARE YOU I'M FUCKIN DRUNK WOOOO" thing. Then the host's parents cam home and we all left, and it was only 12:00 or something. I wasn't really drunk, but I'm like a super heavyweight drinker anyway.

I only drink mint juleps.
I say, Nigel, this mint julep is absolutely smashing.

[QUOTE=Grayron;17644772]yup[/QUOTE]
No, I did not say "drink because it tastes good, not to get drunk", I said "don't drink that, it tastes bad, this is just as good for getting drunk". Somersby and Rekorderlig has as much alcohol in them as beer. End of discussion.

My advice was in my first post.
I was just saying that, unless your friends are idiots, they won't mind if you do or do not drink.
