You gotta learn to pace yourself OP. Shots are great and all but 5 in 10 minutes is just stupid. You'll come to realize that if you want to have a fun night that you actually remember its better to go slow and steady.. Try pregaming at a friends over the course of an hour or two to space your drinks out a little more. Alcohol can make parties/clubs more fun to a point but it goes downhill really fast (like in your blackout case) where you get too sloppy and wasted to function.

Uhhh............. This is a good thing ? I'm 17 and when I hit 18 the only way im gonna actually have a possibility of drinking alcohol is at barcrafts (Going as soon as possible when I hit that age with a mate)
Not good to be drinking like that at that age, but whatever you think is right,
Poor brain cells. Don't knock it till you've tried it. I don't know... From the stories, including this one, I don't feel too positive about it.. lol im not saying that OP made great choices, and in all honesty the story just sounds retarded, but drinking(even drinking A LOT) can be a really fun and social thing. If alcohol is the basis of your relationships with people, you need to seriously re-evaluate your life. Drinking is a good way to help relax with friends or spice up a meal - it is not a social event in itself. Drinking can be enjoyable, but it is just one element of the culinary experience, and shouldn't be held to a higher standard than something like BBQ cookouts or baking cookies. Lol I like how nowhere in my post does it say anything close to "alcohol is the basis of my relationships with people" and you come up with that. Also drinking is a social event in itself, or at least a big part of a lot of social events.... ever been to a party? I also have no idea what you're talking about with the BBQ and cookies thing. Parties are fucking stupid. They're a crutch for people who have no meaningful basis for social interaction. sounds like someone was never invited to parties! lol but seriously, what a fucking ridiculous thing to say. Of course I've been to parties. How else would I know how bad they are?

what a bunch of bull shit. People do that stuff because they find it fun. Seriously, get off your high horse. The guy i know that throws the best parties ever, now has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in investments for his start up company. He certainly isn't managing a Denny's any time soon.
Partying and clubbing isn't for everyone and thats fine. Do what you like. But damn dude, you couldn't be more wrong.

don't really get why people are being so condescending. yeah, he made a lot of dumb choices, but i'm sure almost everyone has done dumb things when they had too much to drink, especially when they were younger.
at least the OP is ok and will hopefully learn from this experience so that next time he paces himself.

you're going to realize how lame this was in a couple years.
you'll wake up after an actual fun time and think: "holy shit i was a stupid kid back then!" then go back to sleep in a cold sweat.

I didn't drink when I was that age, or younger. Some of us are actually just mature and can learn from other peoples' dumb experiences.
I don't care what people do, honestly, but some things are just risky behavior that often ends up with someone inebriated and behind the wheel of a vehicle. I've had friends who've blacked out and done extraordinarily stupid shit. Hell, one almost raped a girl. I don't like seeing young people get sucked into a culture based around doing dumb shit and laughing about it the next day. Too many futures destroyed that way.

I always wanted the drinking age to be lowered to 18 when I was younger, and now that I'm older I look back and go. Oh, that's why it's 21.
Edit: Not saying I didn't drink prior to 21, but at least I was in college and only got trashed responsibly.

The fact that you think people make 'dumb experiences' when drunk shows how clueless you are concerning this topic. I've been drunk plenty of times and had fun conversations with people I else would never have met, and dare I say attractive females. Did I create everlasting friendships? Actually I did, granted not on the regular and you shouldn't go out expecting it, but people don't do that anyway. Did I have a great time most of the time? Yes, I did.
Alcohol makes people social, but maybe that's the exact problem for you (see, I can make generalizations based off nothing too! So fun!)
Getting shitfaced every week is something, which should be avoided, but when you drink the first time...how can you not get completely wasted as you have no comparison to where you can handle and can't handle more. The timeframe is so short, I have never seen someone drinking for the first time and not overdoing it. Which is the OP's case, if I understood him right. The better that he doesn't get a kick out of it and stays off too much alcohol as it seems. Even more reason not to talk down to him, it sounds like he learned his lesson.
Also I'm confused on how much you replied in this thread claiming that you 'don't care what people do' and go on about how much you care about what people do when drunk. I'm also questioning your taste in friends, who rape girls when drunk. I don't know you, but it sounds like you have some issues yourself. And as a side note, who can drunkenly rape a girl? I always thought it would happen the other way 'round.
If you really care about the youth, you should learn on how to approach them in a way they actually care and listen. The way you're chosen right now not only drives them away, but also makes you look like a condescending dick to everyone else.
To OP:
I'm happy for you that you had quite an experience, but even more because you can put it into perspective and while yes, it does indeed come of as a little brag blog I'm the last person giving you shit for it. After all everyone of us was a teenager and tried to prove something to someone in one way or another. In fact some people are actually still trying (i.e. by acting overly mature, to be finally accepted as an adult *hint)

Well, at least you know when you go to parties next time you won't have to deal with condescending tools like EthereaLLegacy there. Your generalizations of parties and alcohol as a means for social acceptance is futile and ignorant. They are a place where you can have fun, meet people and form meaningful relationships. Does alcohol have to define your relationships? Of course not. Are parties the only way to have fun or socialize? No. But it is a great method for many of us.

Everybody is going to criticize regardless of what it is. Some people are just born to be elitists in their own way. I edited the OP to describe more of the night that I forgot...The Blacked out part.
