How come I can't drink alcohol and "enjoy" it like everyone else?!


Question:

How come I can't drink alcohol and "enjoy" it like everyone else?

I've seen my friends drinking one or two beers or a tequila and they dance and dance and have fun. I drink one beer and I am so buzzed and lightheaded that every time I throw up. Im 155lbs and Im 19yrs old. I don't want to be an alcoholic ...I just want to enjoy a good drink while having dinner or party without getting sick.

Go with something light. And wow, I just realized YOU are UNDERAGE GIRL!!!!! I should NOT be telling you what to drink. But when you reach 21, LOL, try something light, and go SLOW!!!! One drink may be all you need, and that means you can make a 6-pack last a long time, which is good for your wallet.

I dont like beer, and I like certain mixed drinks, but I generally stick to the kahlua premade mudslides or white russians. They are sweet, and remind me of chocolate milk. Definitely make sure (when you turn 21 of course!) to start to drink on a nice full stomach.

i cant either i dont know why

don't drink it so fast?1?

I like wine coolers but beer is nasty. Try wine coolers they go down smoother and dont upset your stomach and make you as light headed.

If you are really determined to drink, sip it, do not gulp it. If you spread it out, it should not make you sick.
Or try a mixed drink with just a bit of alcohol- screwdriver, coke and rum, or something like that. However, stick just to one, because you don't know how you will react.
If that doesn't work, just stick to juice, and be happy that you will never get arrested for underage drinking. You should wait until you are 21 anyway (assuming that you live in the US)

white wine is nice and I have never been sick off of it so far.

Try eating before you drink something.Also don't drink muchor fast sip it.I wouldn't suggest hard stuff unless its mixed.I can't drink hard stuff anymore. To tough on the stomach.Beer once in a while.

Its okay, you just dont have a tolerance built up for alcohol(that is perfectly fine by the way). People who drink often build up a tolerance to it, and therefore have to drink more to feel it. Like someone suggested, maybe a wine cooler would be better, or light beer.

Maybe beer isn't your thing.. Try a wine spritzer.. half wine half clea soda ( like 7-up). Or .. don't worry about drinking at all. Have fun with just a coke. It's ok not to drink especially if your body is screaming at you not to.

dunno... i usually drink rum and coke but then i drink way too much and after i hav fun i throw up too but then i'm still drunk as hell and i go back to havin fun widout feelin sick r anythin...

Make sure you eat something BEFORE you go out.. and i don't mean 2 cookies.. But just remember that it MIGHT come back up so think about your choice NO spaghetti or anything like that.. Try a light beer and drink it slowly. maybe your allergic to alcohol rare but it can happen.

Some people are simply less tolerant to alcohol. Instead of regular drinks such as beer, try softer cocktails that have little alcohol in them. If you still can't keep it down, don't drink.

Maybe your allergic. For real.
