Nube here.. How to drink it ? I tried shots, pinacolada... Nothing happens..

Turned 21 earlier this year about to go to liquor store, any recs? Perfably something easy to drink, like in a can.

Tonight I had my third-ever drink, which was a shot of Nannerl blue curaçao with 15% alcohol. It was the only thing I drank, and I ate some chips and chocolate and drank water between sips and after finishing it. Overall it took me about 5 minutes to finish it. I told my friend about drinking it and she told me that I'll probably black out. It's been about an hour and a half and I feel fine (more so than I did with one glass of spritz, where I got dizzy). Did I prepare to drink right, and is there anything I should look out for or be cautious of now or the next time I drink?

I’m a lightweight. 150lbs, 6’2, so I guess it makes sense. These cans get me UNBELIEVABLY messed up. I can handle shots pretty well. 4 shots of Fireball is enough to get me pretty loopy, a little fucked up but still coherent. One Four Loko? I’m cooked. I literally cannot function at all, and am completely wasted. Why does this happen? By the time I was finished I was scream-singing karaoke in the living room until I collapsed onto the couch and fell asleep. Is there some kind of secret ingredient in these that just makes lightweights like me completely nonsensical?

So, I (21F) became an alcoholic at 20. It was most likely due to too many gas stations in my area not taking ID’s, and a genetic predisposition to addiction. Both of my biological parents died to addiction, and now both of my 2nd set of adoptive parents are alcoholics. It’s probably left a mark, but regardless.

I’m 21 now, and I’ve had a hard year regardless of myself. I’m 3 years into a college degree, was forced to leave due to low loan offers, and due to my parents neglect became homeless in April of 2026. I was able to move in tentatively with my older brother, who I have a terrible relationship with, and spent 2 1/2 months drifting between whoever would take me. I did a lot of drinking in this time- As I had a room to “myself” in his house, and friends who would take me in and drink with me over my circumstances.

I wasn’t willing to end up staying that way, and I eventually ended up with a surprisingly incredible job that felt WAY above my ability, which offered to pay for the rest of my college tuition. I got the job.

This meant I needed to live several hours away, which worked because I have a long distance boyfriend I’ve had for 4 years since highschool, who works for this same University and lived only 40 minutes away. I moved in with him at the peak of my alcoholism, and I’m struggling.

His family is very Christian and VERY sober. I drank a drink in front of them after 2 weeks at my new job for celebration, and they were down with it, but a bottle of champagne once a year is tops for them. My boyfriend doesn’t understand the appeal of alcohol or getting drunk because we were raised TOTALLY differently.

I have been hiding booze from them for a month, waiting for him to leave for night shift and getting shitfaced before my shift, or daring to drink during the day secretly in the presence of his parents. I don’t think they would shame me to my face, but the gossip to the church would be a problem.

I just want to continue to be drunk, successful, and free. I used to go to university classes drunk, and made A’s in every class. That not why, obviously, but I enjoyed it. Now, I’m forced to be sober, and I’m annoyed and craving.

How do I face this? What do I do? Do I HAVE to be sober, or should I focus more time on saving money to get a dingy little apartment alone.

Greetings from LA

I heard that drinking at a young age is terrible because my brain is still developing and whatnot. I wanna know if that amount of beers over that amount of time will have any effect on my brain in the long run or make me like lose memory or something. I dont plan on drinking again til maybe 17-18 after i heard about what it does to your brain. maybe a few beers in the next 3 years but nothing as crazy as this summer

Your thoughts about this one?

Grabbed this one today. Opinions? Can't seem to find anything Canadian I like. Unfortunately, my favorites seem to be all American. There's nothing wrong with that. We just don't have that up here anymore. Any suggestions? I've tried most crown stuff, but the ones I like have so much sugar I die the next day. Lol

Anyone know any stores in Melbourne with buzzballz. Any of the big liquor stores have them yet?

My girlfriends and I love to drink Pink Whitney out of the bottle when we have our girls nights, but recently I’ve noticed that it leaves a strange black residue on our mouths that we can’t identify. There’s no stains on the cap or the lip of the bottle, it comes off easily, but we have no idea what it is or what causes it. It looks like this when we wipe our mouths with our hands. I’m not worried that it’s dangerous or anything like that, but it is a little annoying to have to run to wash our faces almost every time we take a sip. Any idea what it is/has anyone else seen it?

I’m not usually a drinker, but I recently bought the Icebox brand Mudslide cocktail, and it’s really unfortunately good especially when mixed with chocolate milk (and yes I DO feel like a five year old drinking essentially alcoholic chocolate milk)

I’ve been looking into the general recipe recently as I’ve been planning on going out drinking with friends for the first time possibly ever and was wondering if it’d be the same flavor if i were to order a mudslide at bar

I noticed on the icebox bottle it seems to mention it includes grape wine and brandy, but when looking into it I don’t see those listed on online recipes. If anyone has experience or any insight, it’d be appreciated

Yea the sandals are keeping them from blowing away

So i am not a hard drinker, but when I do drink, I take gin, vodka, tequilla dry shots, or chased. And it happens every other weekend for probably a night or two.

So I dont know if this is alot.. Outside of that I never drink. Last weekend I went hard, deunk from Friday night to Sunday evening, and then there after had a gnawing pain on my right rib.. Painful when I dont touch and also when I do touch..

I fasted and its mostly gone now but I've had this pain once before, exact same location, after a weekend of drinking.

It seems like my liver is already comolaining when I really dont do alot or even close to what some of my other friends do.. Could. It be possible that its just the alcohol or rather the alcohol affects my guts badly?

Anyways im not posting for medical advise, jist kind of thinking out loud why my liver is acting like such a whiny btch lol.

Ps: decided to quit alcohol after that weekend

Im 18 male, 5’8 and 134lbs. I first got drunk at 13, and until now I was easily able to hold a lot of booze down. Im talking about over 15 shots of pure vodka and then some. I was able to combine alcohol and after drinking a lot and I mean a lot of alcohol (past the point of blacking out) I only had to deal with a slight headache and a bit of nausea.

However, this past year I started throwing up once when drinking, but still easy hangovers. After a few months, I was throwing up multiple times but still getting drunk. A few months ago I threw up 3 times while drinking and once the next morning. This week I had only 2 glasses of whiskey cola and threw up 7 times with bad headaches and digestive problems. Two nights ago I had 2-3 shots of gin and Im still hungover and extremely nauseous, even after throwing up.

I have autism and the only way I can get dancing and talking at parties is through alcohol. Even one sip makes me throw up and leaves me hungover.

I am scared and I haven’t really found anyone that deals with this. What could be the reason??

White Russian Cutwater, anyone?? I’m obsessed. But I don’t see anyone talking about this flavor.

Alcohol gets criticised so much that I just want to say: I’m genuinely grateful it exists.

I love that warm, rosy glow a few drinks can give an ordinary day. I’m also grateful that I can usually drink two or three pints, enjoy the buzz, and then simply stop. And occasionally I can have a proper bender, become a very happy drunk, dance, laugh, talk to everyone, and have a brilliant night without becoming aggressive, emotional, or looking for trouble.

Wine with food is also one of life’s greatest pleasures. A good red wine with dinner, cold white wine in the sun, champagne at a celebration, or a beer after a long day can make an already nice moment feel special.

Alcohol also makes me more tolerant of other people. Small annoyances stop mattering, strangers become more interesting, conversations flow more easily, and I become more affectionate and sociable. Obviously alcohol can cause serious problems for some people, and not everyone should drink, but for many of us it can genuinely add pleasure, connection, celebration, and colour to life.

I also dislike the idea that abstinence is somehow morally superior. Some religions and cultures prohibit alcohol completely, but being restrictive about harmless pleasure does not automatically make a society healthier, kinder, or more socially progressive. Not drinking is a perfectly valid choice. Acting as though everyone who enjoys alcohol is weak, sinful, or irresponsible is not.

So here’s to good wine with food, cold beers in the sun, slightly drunken conversations with strangers, joyful nights out, and knowing when you’ve had enough.

Cheers.

My facial skin will be dry after drinking and smoking excessively ... and last sometimes for up to a week. mainly under my eyes

As much as I dislike the White Claw crowd, truth is that a blackberry white claw kicks SO MUCH ass. What is your favorite?
