Can you teach me how to drink?

[Silverluna]

Chances are I will be drinking tonight, and as a child of an alcholoic father, I am just a little bit nervous. Scratch that ok I am very nervous! I mean I've never really had anything before...Church wine doesn't count. Oh and chances are my parents will be taking me out......wouldn't want to fall flat into my food now would I?

 

[KillerMuffin]

Drink one of whatever alcoholic beverage, eat plenty of food with it, and drink a lot of water.

A nice trick is that once your parents are sloshed, you can dump water into the glass and they think you're boozing with 'em.

Social drinking is cool.

Don't become an alkie.

Drink wine... and when you cant remember how many glasses you had, its too many.

Have a water, and if you can remember then, have another wine.

 

[Velius]

Drinking alcohol in general is a rather...bad idea. They don't call it an intoxicant because it strengthens your bones. Just my two cents.

 

[Silverluna]

thanks...i have school tommorrow...-.-; but its a night class...

 

[islandman]

Make sure to eat before you drink or while drinking.

And be sure to have a couple of glasses of water before bed, as well as a tylenol or two.

This way, you'll be fine tomorrow.

Next Question...

WTF DO I DRINK?!?!

 

[Gamelover221]

I prefer rum or schnapps for the taste. I have a very sensative tongue so I can't stand a lot of foods/drink. You could start simple with a rum and coke, or maybe some sort of mixed drink.

Re: Next Question...

If you're not used to drinking, I'd say go with something smooth...like Kahlua and milk, or Baileys on ice (you can sip at that and look like you know what you're doing)

I never drank until this summer...funny, isnt it? Oh well, i'm a rather big guy, so 12-15 bud lights will do it for me...that just totally f's me up, so i usually tend to stay in the 6-8 range.

Beer is the only thing i'll drink with my friends...with my parents i drink Ouzo, cause thats what they drink...not big into wine or anything like that. Best way to do it, in my opinion, just take your time...food helps, but its in your hands...in other words, when you think you've had enough, you really have.

From one Child of an alkie to another, whatever you decide to do or have done, do it in moderation... It is very easy to get into the habit of drinking and not so easy to stop... The fact that addictive behavior is hereditary is something to remember... I'm not saying don't drink... Just remember that you are at a higher risk than some of making a habit of it... Good luck

Go for a strawberry margarita or daiquiri. Not too much booze, and a nice pleasant strawberry taste. Just don't go overboard. Remember, there IS alcohol in there, no matter how good it tastes.

Don't drink and drive.

 

[Ms_Lilith]

Luna, darling.. come on over to my house. We'll have a few drinks, and hang out, and bitch about boys... I'll get you smashed, but I'll take care of you after...

Seriously, though... as the child of an alcoholic.. just be careful, and drink in moderation. I have alcoholism in my family, but I'm not an acoholic. I don't drink much. Don't much care to drink much. But you're not me and I'm not you... so just be careful.

 

[morninggirl5]

You've gotten some great advice. I'd go with the strawberry dacquiri or really any flavor dacquiri and get it frozen if you like icy things.


oh, and Happy Birthday!!!!!

 

[lickerish]

Tylenol or Ibuprofen before you go drinking.

I always order a banana daquiri, if I don't want a lot of alcohol, most places make them pretty weak. Rum 'n Coke is pretty mellow too, just tell them more Coke than Rum. Kahlua and cream is really good too... oy, I'll stop here.

Drink 1 water between each alcoholic drink.

And don't worry all night long, be happy.. have fun!

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Silver Luna, If You Would Like To Drink Something Really Tasty For Your First Legal Drink, Then You Should Ask For A Southern Comfort With 7-Up And Grenadine!

Just Have Two Drinks, DON"T Mix Different Alcohols, And Relax

Have A Grand Time!

 

[Silverluna]

When I was in Russia, where vodka is ordered by the litre, they taught me how to drink

1. Eat some chocolate first. The fat coats the stomach, and slows absorption.

2. NO carbonated drinks! That hurries the alcohol into the bloodstream.

3. And the kahlua and cream is a great start. It is a liqueur and yummy.

4. Don't mix alcohols. Stick with one.

5. Drink water to prevent the dehydration and slow a hangover.

 

[sexy-girl]

dont take advice from pp man unless you want to be *hic* by the end of the night


vodka and orange juice is a nice drink because you cant taste the alcohol to much also if you feel like you're getting to giddy you can just drink orange instead and nobody will notice

 

[brokenbrainwave]

whats the point in drinking if ya remember where you left your undies???

 

[fgarvb1]

Having said your an ACOA, i think someone should say that some of the time genes play a part in alcholism. Be very careful.

Like in all things if you like it to much don't go near it again until you learn more about yourself and addiction if ever.

I tried coke one time. I liked it so much i never touched it again.

I'm not talking to hear the wind blow, they are over twenty eight million of us ACOA people in the usa alone.
