Should I try alcohol just ONCE?!


Question:

Should I try alcohol just ONCE?

I'm 23 yrs. old & never tried it. I just want to sample it & see what it tastes like. What alcoholic beverages are sweet & good & take a long time to get you drunk? I don't want to get drunk nor tipsy. I just wanna try it. I haven't been on my medicine for a while so it shouldn't affect me. I don't get my medicine until Wednesday.

Would it do any hurt or is it a bad idea? I don't want to become drunk or addicted.


Answers:
apple martinis are really good and you would not get typsy fast. I would start witha sweet drink first to see if you even like alcholic beverages. do not try more than three though.

Don't bother, your not missing anything

A sweet, good alcoholic drink that I like is an Amaretto sour. It's made with ice usually, Amaretto (Di Saronno is the best kind, in my opinion), & sweet 'n' sour mix. If you get one at a restaurant or bar, they will probably not put in an abundance of the Amaretto, so it will probably not get you drunk even if you have a few. Also, I would recommend getting one at a restaurant or bar because then that way you can just try one, & you don't have to buy all the stuff to make it yourself.

I say try it, it couldn't hurt to try it once. I've also never tried it- I want to wait til i'm 21 but I already know my first drink will be an Appletini, it just sounds good.

good luck

It takes a lot of steady drinking to become addicted. Getting drunk is another matter, as all it takes is "a couple too many".
If you would like to try drinking socially, I would suggest starting with Daiquiri's and other frozen fruit drinks. You can ask the bartender to make them "Lite" which means they don't use as much alcohol. If you are at a bar with friends and just want to be sociable, order a wine cooler or Zima, neither one has enough alcohol to do more than loosen you up, unless you guzzle them of course.

A glass of wine ok but check wth the doctor about your meds

hi there , how could u think of even tasting it, smelling it? yaks! better go on with ur sprite!!! y r u giving invitation 4 a bad idea of being a drunkard?? first u start then u wont be able to stop it!! so better keep it out of reach of u........ bt if u r so particular u can do what u want.

any kind of fruit wine coolers are good.

<>Try a Bailey's Irish Cream. It tastes like Chocolate milk. You will love it. Work up from there.

I read your questions sweetie. You are going through a bad time now. It is not the time to try alcohol.

What is going on that you have a lapse in time before you get your medicine? I know you said you are on SSI. Is there a case worker or someone who you can talk to about this atrocity?. People who need medication should be able to get it WITHOUT FAIL.

I do not really see anything wrong with social drinking but I really think is a bad time for you to try to drink at all.

Just sit back, relax and play on the computer until the urge to try something passes.

Don't bother, you're not missing much

may as well, you'll try it sooner or later !

mikes hard lemonade, and you cant taste it,

Don't try Baileys, it is sooooo good and so full of calories you will regret it immediately.
Try a full bodied red wine, a cabernet, shiraz, or merlot. Don't get a cheap one.
Good alcohol is not sweet....yuck! Sweet drinks are like wine coolers....If you want sweet, try amaretto...
But sweetness is generally a sign of bad quality, like "Mad Dog" or Mogan David wine that tastes like cough syrup.

Good for you - so many people drink so young these days. Here in NZ you can at 18 and of course you can imagine friends buying for younger friends ... just sucks and leads to problems.

As for your question about you don't want to be drunk or addicted? Do you have alcoholics in your family? If you do, stay away totally. You may have that addictive gene. If not email or IM me and i'll give you a few ideas.

I am a recovering Alcoholic and can truthfully tell you it would be best not to start if you can keep from it. You will not only save your body but money also. Once you start, it is very hard to stop.

Of course, if you are wanting to try it do it! You are of drinking age and you aren't going to get into trouble with just one drink. Make sure for your first time you drink around your great GIRL friends, don't drink with guys the first time just to make sure you can handle it first. You also need to be safe about it always have your drink with you at ALL times at a bar, even take it to the bathroom with you! Have fun and be careful!

i would suggest you drink beer or lower alcohol drinks to learn what level of drunk you are comfortable with. if you drink socially, know and respect your limits, you should be OK. most hard liqueur is not sweet with a few exceptions (Southern Comfort). check with Dr. regarding meds.
