my first drunk experience was at 14. found some alcohol in the fridge/on the counter (don’t remember which), the places my dad usually leaves his alc. poured myself some when he was in the other room and drank it in front of my friend on facetime.
didn’t quite vomit but nearly did. he told me i was entertaining but also really weird (kept talking about communism and communist china?)
i also remember saying “i love you” to him but he fortunately hung up right before i said that.
13
Honestly? I was around 26. I “discovered” alcohol alone, not in a social environment. I’ve always been a loner so social drinking wasn’t a thing for me because I was never social.
Anyway, I was in grad school and had some temporary housing where there was a lot of food and crap people left over in the fridge and pantry. There were two things left over in the fridge that were opened that sparked my curiosity. No idea how old they were. But one was amaretto and I think the other was some wine. Got curious and tried a bit and enjoyed the effects. I had technically had alcohol many occasions prior, but not enough to get remotely near drunk or anything.
Spend the remainder of grad school occasionally binge drinking alone on the weekends to the point of vomiting. Carried on that habit for a little bit after but I hardly ever do that now.
I had actually never really drank socially until very recently. As someone with severe social anxiety, I was surprised at how helpful I found it in social situations. I only had a couple of drinks in these particular scenarios instead of getting piss drunk tho. And again, I am not social anyway so this doesn’t happen on the regular. But goddamn. I didn’t understand self medicating for anxiety until that.
This is the reason why I don’t drink. I don’t have problems with socialising, and once I drink to much I start to tell a shit ton of crap and then think about what shit I said while being drunk for the next two weeks.
Never. My liver doesn’t process it correctly. If I have one drink I’ll puke for 3 days.
Can you still enjoy other recreational mood/mind altering substances?
I’ve only tried edibles and they had no impact at all. Whatever’s going on with my liver may also put me in this category:

50mg in gummies did nothing, 16mg in coconut oil did nothing. I need to try upping the oil dosage.
Also strangely resistant to anasthesia. Had to be put under for open heart surgery and kept talking to the doctors:
“So should I feel something yet?”
“Hang on, it’s coming.”
“Feels like I should be counting backwards or something…”
“Let’s up the dosage…”
Are you a redhead by any chance?
Not a redhead proper, but I have the recessive gene. My grandmother was a redhead, and while my hair is black, my beard comes in black, red, brown and blonde. Well, now turning white. ;)
Welp the sober life chose you hahah
14 or 15 - I only got vomiting drunk once and it was the first time. I generally don’t drink and I never drink to excess.
Never been vomiting drunk, got pretty close on my first time.
Same.
I can’t recommend it. It’s such a fucking waste.
I wouldn’t like to waste my alc like that. would I even still be that drunk if I vomited?
(I get drunk very rarely)
Never. Am 38 currently.
Good for you! Sincerely!
18 almost 19. Keystone light or miller genuine draft, soccer team house party in college
17 I think. I had had a few drinks prior to that but actually drunk not unril then
- Back then they was the legal age limit for alcohol. Nowadays it’s been increased to 18, which is probably more sane. It won’t stop ppl from drinking earlier, but at least it’ll make it less easy and appealing.
15 - an alcoholic neighbour of a friend of mine saw me an my 2 friends hanging at a playground at night and invited us for a drink. He was quite drunk already and passed out pretty soon after so we stole the rest of his beer and wine and went to my friend’s place to continue drinking. Pretty fun experience all in all. R.I.P. Eki.
I’m in my mid 30s and have never been drunk before. I don’t like how alcohol tastes and drinking it doesn’t really add much value for me. The only alcoholic beverages I do like are Baileys, Pisang Ambon (mixed with 7up/Sprite), white chocolate liquor and Tokkelroom. Recently discovered Salmari and I like that as well. I very rarely drink any of that, though, and when I do it’s like one glass at most. Tokkelroom though…I like it so much that I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point I ended up eating all of that in one go.
16 or 17. Drank a whole bottle of jack Daniel’s and the only thing other than that, that I remember, is asking my friend as he carried me into my house if I was drunk.
23 - woman I was dating at the time introduced me to it. I miss her.
36 I believe, I planned it because I rarely of ever drink alcohol, but wanted to experience being really fucking drunk, got a few people I trusted and got really fucking drunk, they didn’t.
Was nothing really fun or entertaining, didn’t help any depression or anything. One of the most annoying and just no benefit for me drinking.
Have not drunk alcohol sense, don’t see any point
First time I was somewhat drunk was when I was 17 (it was on Eastern). Drank some beer and told quite a lot of stuff I shouldn’t have said.
First time I was really fucking drunk was on a friends birthday party in Oktober that year. Never have been drunk that much since then, but this is primarily because I don’t really like the effects of alcohol.
Even tho I was drunk as fuck that night I was absolutely fine. Didnt vomit and had no after effects the next day. I was still drunk when I woke up, but I was fine.
