Yeah start with something with a lower proof like 80 proof which is 40% alcohol. Don't try 151 or everclear for a while

LMFAO 151 is 75% alcohol. don't drink that shit unless you mixin caribou lou's. and i woul'd go for something like a mixer. don't go straight for spirits, that'll just fuck your night.

Vodka probably isn't the best place to start drinking, if you don't know your limits with alcohol and haven't really drunk before it's pretty easy to end up in a bad state quickly. If there's something with a lower alcohol percentage (beer, wine etc. There are websites with more info I'm sure), you could drink that instead.

If not, you could always try the vodka (half a shot with lots of mixer shouldn't mean you're on the floor throwing up)... but there'll be loads more opportunities to experiment with alcohol in the future so you need not rush.

Just drink the vodka straight. Trust me, you won't get drunk.

I just got drunk for the first time this last weekend, and I had like 3 shots of vodka and a couple of beers over the period of a couple of hours. That made me feel a little buzzed, but not drunk enough to get caught by my parents when I went home.

If you are spending the night then you could probably move at a little faster pace than I did, but don't overdo it.

yeah. i started withe beer and wine and "softer stuff". it gives you a better chance to work out your limits and to be in control.

I wouldn't start with Vodka.
I got drunk for the first time with Vodka, you don't know how you will react to it.

I was passed out within an hour barfing all my insides out. xD

Go for bourbon & coke! its mad.

There's nothing wrong with vodka. It has 40% alcohol, so that means it is strong. If you want to have fun (not puke in front of friends, and be rushed to ER) limit your drinks. Mix a little vodka with juice or coke and have a couple of those. The alcohol buzz is a fun thing, but it can easily turn into a nightmare.

Drinking is really no problem. Occasionally, everybody needs to unwind sometimes so go and treat yourself. Just don't overdo it.

if its your first time drinking you mite not want to do shots of vodka, but if you r drinking vodka then mix it. try like a vodka seven-up mix or something like that.

i went straight to vodka! and bourbon.

your gonna get drunk anyway? so drink whatever the hell you think taste good.
but its your first time so id stick to mixes.. not the straight stuff yet.

vodka was what got be bombed first! my advice is always to start at the top and work your way down!

I agree with what others have said...vodka probably isn't the best thing to start with but if there's a lot of your friends there and you're all drinking it'll go quick and you may not feel anything at all. Anyways I started with vodka and corona and woke up on a steel bench in a park one morning...so don't go overboard

I'm a real lightweight

I had 2 shots with a Monster mix, and I was loopy lol..

I started on Absinthe!

I can't fully remember the first time I was drunk but from what I re-call we were having drink after drink and I felt completely normal until a little bit later and it just hit me. It was at a house party and I was with good friends so I knew I was safe anyway.

Aslong as you're with trustworthy people then it's fine. For 'first timers' I would advise laying off the stronger spirits as you're pretty likely to throw up, also, you probably wont like the taste unless it's mixed in with something else.
Try to not get too crazy, you don't want to do something you'll regret when you're sobre.

Morning after the night before: Lots of water and neurofen's always handy.

before you drink it would be a good idea to have a good meal, take vitamin b and when you r drinking make sure to drink plenty of water or gatorade (because alcohol dehydrates you)

oooo vodka straight anyway probably not da best ting 2 start drinkin with, its all about what you think tastes ok, try mixers, dnt go for it straight just yet like vodka and coke or 7up, stuff like that!!!! but as the others hav said, if everyone is drinking then it mite go fairly quick, drinking in moderation is the key and eating before drinking, you wont get drunk as quickly!!!
