I had my 21st birthday about a month ago. I had never drank before, so it was an experience. I just did it at my girlfriend's house and she was there to keep an eye on me. It was a pretty crummy experience, but yeah, here is the log, unedited since when I typed everything.

+ Show Spoiler +

11:03 PM: 2 sips of Mikes hard rasberry lemonade. It doesn't taste very good. I also have pie, which tastes awesome.

11:27 PM: Just finished a screwdriver, 2 shots. I didn't finish that Mikes Rasberry lemonade. It tasted crummy and was too fizzy. And I like fizzy. I got maybe 2/3 of the way through it. I am keeping it for when I am buzzed or tipsy or something, maybe it will taste good then. Girlfriend is mocking me for constantly wondering if I am drunk yet. Feeling mildly flushed.

11:50 PM: Just finished 2 more shots (mixed with apple juice). Don't do that mix until you get used to the taste of alchohol. Ears are warm and I am mildly dizzy whenever I walk, but otherwise good.

12:26 AM: Finished another screwdriver, 2 shots again. My horizontal movement issues are not getting worse or better. Ears not as warm. Rose is horny. I feel bad because I am trying to get this really documented, so I am having to go against what I kinda want to do.

12:35 AM: Finished another screwdriver. Still 2 shots. Still about where I was last time. Getting mildly annoyed about this.

12:46 AM: Tried a double shot of straight vodka. Almost vomited in to the sink. It was so fucking icky. Rose did ~1shot and handled it far better than I. Time to stick to mixed drinks.

12:55 AM: Just pored myself myself another drink. Haven't drank it yet, but I am a little excited too. Get mildly giggly and having a slightly hard time walking.

1:12 AM: 2 more shots. Rum this time, slightly lower proof. Mixed with Dr Pepper. Tastes bad, not sure if it is because the Dr Pepper doesn't cover it as well or if the rum tastes stronger. Or both. Ether way, I am getting dizzy. Still feel in control of myself and such. Gigglyness seems to have been just coincidence, since it went away almost right after I mentioned it. I might be having trouble typing. I keep making typos. Will mention later if it stays or comes back.

1:20 AM: Was poring myself another drink and I realized I was wrong earlier. The run is hgher proof than the vodka. The rum is 100 proof and the vodka is 80. Just for referance.

1:34 AM: Ok, really dizzy now. Having a really hard time not tipping over. I am concerned if I can manage to go get another drink. I have to pee a bit. Still don't feel my judgement is really impared. I bet if I was with friends though, I would be so giddy. Rose is taking a brief nap, so I am just kind of dizzy. Best way to describe it.

1:50 AM: I am losing motor control. Pretty hard. Walking is difficult, in a straight line at least. I tried some sobriety tests. I can do the finger to nose thing. I can do that. Walking a straight line is really hard to do though. Typing is really hard. I pored another drink. Lets see. Just took a sip. Alchohol still tastes like shit.

2:13 AM: I am curious as to if this log will still seem accurate in the morning. I finished 2 more (orange juice and rum) and pored another mixed with coke and rum. Lips feel numb, but everything still tastes like shit. Tried sobriety tests again. Did better with not heel-toe than with heel toe, but still failed both horribly. Nose-finger test was still fine. Need to drink a lot of water tonight before sleep or will be so hung over. Can still type well if i don't look at the screen. Judegement doesnt feel impared, just any sort of bodily movement is having issues. Rose is totally asleep. I wish this wasn't so boring to her. I want to talk to her. I almost deleted this, but wanted her to read it. I love her so much. Time for more.

2:19 AM: Just to be clear. The first time I said I was drinking rum. As of now, only rum. Just to keep reference.


2:24 AM: I am maybe 1/2 way through my last 2 shot and Dr Pepper mixand am gonna have 1 more sip, drink at minimum, a bottle of water, then go to sleep. I love Rose. I accept that I am typing that so she will read it and think that is sweet, but it is so true. i love her to death and I can't dream of loving anybody but her. Even if I know she will read this, I want her to know it. I also have bad hiccups. I am gonna drink that water and sleep now. It is now 2:29. Goodnight.

2:52 AM: Ok, I feel really drunk. Motor contro very bad and I accidently woke up Kathy. I vomited, but i did have that last sip I mentioned. I am gonna facebook Kathy, like I mentioned earlier, or because of what I mentione earlier. I feel as if I still have good judgement, but feel that might be wrong due to the alchohol. Rose is reading over my shoulder. I am really tired. Goodnight.

2:56 AM: I tried to facebook Kathey to appolgize. Rose made me not, even though I said she could proof read. Probably right. I was gonna say "Sorry I woke you up last night. It was my 21st bday and I got a little more drunk than I meant to. Sorry."
Rose came back from bathroom and said I have to go to bed. Typing is hard. Goodnight.
I should probably drink more water. I fear I will be hung over in the morning.

24 shots in `3 hours



7:30 PM: Next day. I feel better now, still a bit headachey and I really want to sleep more. It wasn't 24 shots like I typed a couple lines up, it only 20 we think. Not really sure how accurate my log is after a certain point. There seem to be big gaps in there where I might have been drinking. Remind me to never do it again.


I still haven't drank more than a few sips of mixed drink since that night. The taste makes me associate bad things now .

lol that log was pretty cute albeit nerdy
mixing alcohol is a horrible idea especially if you're not a veteran
you probably won't feel like drinking whatever you got sick on for a few times but it gets better
(I blacked out 2 hours and did stupid shit on camera after drinking something like 20oz of vodka and rum in 3 hours. brilliant idea.)

IMO Rum should go with coke, not Dr. Pepper.

Sounds like a fun college night! Alcohol is definately an acquired taste.

For me it's the reverse of an acquired taste. I could chug vodka no problem until I threw up from it, then I could never easily drink it again. (I think this is common)

Who the fuck drinks 24 shots on their first time? Also 24 shots in 3 hours is a lot. Like alcohol poisoning lot.

Yeah, 24 shots really? Most people would probably get fucked up from like 10 shots, not to mention it's your first time... Think you had some calculation errors but I may be wrong! xD

Those are either not full shots or you didn't take 24 shots in 3 hours. That's a BAC of 0.52 if you are 170lbs which means you were probably dead. Levels higher than 0.4 are considered deadly. Even if you were 200lbs, that's 0.43.

Once you learn your limit, drinking becomes 10000000 times more enjoyable the following day.

Drinking binge on the 21st birthday is probably the most retarded tradition I've ever heard of when I first moved to US. Are you really that shallow and deprived to put your health at risk, because...why is this fun again, remind me?

I'm 270, and we are pretty sure it was only 20 shots. My '24 in 3 hours' count was done while I was drunk. Not to mention the getting sick, which probably drained one or two of them.

It isn't I promise. Honestly, my plan was to just drink until I got tipsy. I didn't realize how messed up I was at the time and Rose didn't realize I was putting double shots in the drinks, she thought they were singles. Getting that drunk was more stupid oversight than planned.

It's a right of passage, and it is not weird that you feel it is a retarded tradition as you are not a member of our "culture". There are PLENTY of things in the African culture that I consider retarded, but I respect their right to do these things.

Rights of passage don't have to be fun, they just have to make memories

24shots in 3hours and you've never drank before? You must be a pretty big dude because you were drinking extremely fast for someone who hasn't drank.

edit: fuck I read the rest of the thread. questions answered sorry

Also, yeah, you can't really know your limit the first time you drink. That takes awhile to get use to. It also takes time before you can tell yourself you've had enough when you're already heavily buzzed or drunk. That's a talent even still a lot of people do not possess.

Yeah. I'm 21 next year and all my coworkers and friends are like LOL WERE GONNA GET YOU SO F'ED UP. And they get all pissy when I'm like...."or not?"

I guess it's being lame or whatever but I guess going out and getting totally wasted doesn't appeal to me. Drinking with friends, sure. But not an insane amount of shots just because I can do it legally now.
