so yeah im drunk atm, drank a bottle of wine, so let me share my experience that i have accumulated in my last 5 years of drinking.
the op said that its ok to go from lighter stuff to harder drink, i for one have revealed that this leads to bad things, many times have i started a party with 5-6 beers only to find myself drinking hard liquor in a circle with friends after that, that usually = me not remembering how i got home, its best by far to just stick to one kind of drink all night long.
also a very important thing, if you are drinking shots, try to get a glass of watter in between then, saved my ass when i was drinking absinthe, water is very important in keeping cool.
If you feel like its going bad, stop drinking for a while and just switch to juice/watter for a while, fuck all the haters making fun of you, better that than just randomly waking up at home thinking wtf have i done.
try not to smoke too much when drinking, i dont know how it works for most people but i just get wasted faster.
i find pickles to be very tasty when im drunk.
also, if you ever drink hard stuff, and find that you have drank quite a lot of it already, but you are still kinda sober, stop right there, you are probably gonna be piss drunk in about 15 minutes, no point in making it worse, WATER IS YOUR FRIEND.
dont drink if you haven;t eaten before or during, you will just get drunk a lot faster, but also try to avoid overeating, you will just puke all over the place.
the morning after:
i have woken up many times sick out of my skull, again drink plenty of watter, and try to get as much sleep in as possible, i find it best to sleep in small intervals of 40-60 mins about 5 times a day, every time i wake up i feel a little better, but it depends on the person, showering can sometimes help too. ( i also sometimes get mad cravings for fried food after im done being sick)
dont chug stuff, thats how i get most of my drinking done, fast, that can lead to you thinking you are still sober, while actually you are gonna be drunk in about 15-20 minutes, take it slow and easy or again risk waking up at home having no idea how you got there.
most important thing is knowing your own limits, if you are drinking for the first time, chances are 4 beers will be more than enough for you ( 0,5 beers with 5% alcohol, thats the norm here)
So dont try to show off by drinking more than you can take, it also depends on how you are built, obv if you are bigger = you can take more alcohol.
ive been told ( never tried it myself ) that if you are pretty messed up, forcing yourself to puke can help speed up the sobering process, now i wont vouch for this since i never tried it.
i cant remember any more now, im sure it will come to me when i sober up.
Now let me tell you some stuff that happened to me whilst drunk so you know i can back this shit up !
1) drank 1l of whiskey, jumped on a friends car, woke up the day after at noon still drunk as a moron.
2) drank a lot of wine with a friend at a party, randomly woke up at home with a womens coat on me
3) drank too much hard stuff with beer 20 miles away frome home, feel asleep on grass - woke up at home, was carried by friends, parents suspect i did drugs.
there are a lot more bad things that happened that id rather not go into, alcohol is bad mkay ?
Now id like to write a thing or two about drinks i enjoy.
Ive talked to some of my foreign friends and i see most of them have never had Red wine + coca cola, we call this bamboo over here, and its pretty good and a popular drink, mix 50-50% most of the time or according to your own taste.
I also enjoy vodka + sprite 30-70 with some lemon if you have it
gin+sprite/tonic water same applies
Mineral watter (sparkling) + white wine, we also drink this a lot here, its mostly a cheap way to get drunk but it can be ok too, also mix 50 50 or according to taste.
Rum+coke, awesome drink, just watch how much rum you put in ^^.
also someone before me mentioned the infamous * Rakija *, and il tell you, most of the time its not made out of peaches, thats schnaps, most of the time here in ex yugoslavia its made in a few variants, distiled grapes = loza, herbs = travarica, pears = vilijamovka, prunes = sljivovica, but it can be made from more or less anything ( im currently making a lemon one ) and its mostly veeery high alcoholic and can double as a window cleaner / disinfecting fluid, dont mess with that it will get you drunk very fast
.
Thats my alcohol guide, i cant remember a ton of other stuff now since im kinda... but you get the picture, and also very important, if one of you friends drinks too much, make sure to take care of him and make sure he gets home safely.
and dont even think about driving or i will come to your house and kill you !

THIS MAN KNOWS! LISTEN TO THE MESSIAH!!! <3 besi
-jokes aside, drink water before going to sleep, and the next day. VERY IMPORTANT.
-don't close your eyes while you're drunk, the world will just start spinning at incredible speeds. xD
-red wine + coca-cola (50%+50%) = bamboo = WINRAR
(cheep, good and you don't get drunk so fast, try to avoid buying the cheepest wine (ribar), since that = bad taste + headache the next day)
-white wine + sparkling water = gemišt/gemischt (don't like it that much, but it's ok, girls pretty much digg it though)
-black beer > white beer.
-I presonally couldn't physically stand beer, it was disgusting. (at least the cheep one; more expensive beers on the other hand are very good) but I somehow managed to make it berable to drink, it surely is "THE social drink", so get used to it. there are a many kinds of beer, so make sure you try them all to find the "lesser evil" of them all.
-as besier said, when drinking lots of strong drinks, one moment you'll be fine, the next moment you'll wake up at various places and won't remember what you did inbetween.
(like saying I love you to my best female friend and not knowing you said it (that can be ankward :< )) so when you see you're already pretty drunk, slow down or shit's gonna hit the fan.
the op has also some good points.
but it sure was intense experience!), but still I have good knowledge on the subject. Cheers
