First time drinking alcohol.
| Eat something before you drink (it slows down the alch processing). Don't drink more than you can handle. Don't force yourself to drink. Try not to have more than 2 drinks an hour, less if you're small framed. Don't order some fruity tootie girly drink because the sweetness maskes the alch, and 5 drinks later, you'll be the talk of the town (bad).
| Know what you want to order before you get there. Preferably drinks that aren't too strong (highballs, not martinis or long Island iced tea, etc). Also try to stick to one drink an hour. Sip, don't chug. Your tolerance isn't there yet and you don't know how you'll be when you drink so just go slow and easy.
Other than that: Eat. Drink water also. Have a designated driver. Make sure you aren't taking any medication that'll interact with it. Watch your drink.
| just order apple cidre they are usually not that strong
| I would avoid sweet drinks too. A lot of times they go down really easy and it's fast to get drunk. Best of luck I love you Anon.
| Don't bow to pressure from your friends and drink at your own pace. Once you feel a bit light headed (or heavy, depending on how you see it), proceed with more caution.
| Or, you know, don't order any drinks that contain alcohol if you don't want to.
| If you don't want to drink just drink water.

| Greetings G/u/rls.
I've been invited to a bar this saturday with some friends. I never drank alcoholic drinks though, and I'm worried of getting very wasted. Do you have any tips to drink alcohol for the first time?
