Okay here’s story -
I ended up not giving a shit and did shots, had 3 vodka mixes, about 3 cocktails, one cider, and sips of the girl’s drinks to try them…..I won’t be going on a night out now for 3/4 weeks so I think at the time I just thought as long as I don’t get too drunk it would be okay, i got caught up in the fun of it but don’t regret it at all.
Weirdly I didn’t get as messed up as I thought but we had a good meal halfway through and then we got fried chicken at the end, this was from 6pm-4am
One of the best nights of my life, and I can’t believe it was with someone I met literally a few months ago. When I got tipsy initially I felt weird like I got hot and panicked a bit but then I had some water and we walked to another bar and then a club. Can I just say people in club queues are so friendly, tbh everyone in the club was really nice, but you can’t hear shit in there! It was hilarious trying to mime stuff
Alcohol just made me not care as much, like I started to dance when I would normally be awkward, I chatted to some guys when I would normally be too insecure, stuff like that. But at the same time for the amount I drank I expected to black out, I didn’t feel sick or anything at all, but really ‘loose’ at some point and then it wore off.
Today I slept so bad because I’m not used to coming home in the light at 5am but no hangover, I immediately downed a bottle of water when I got home and one just now.
Oh just remembered I got so scared after trying a shot when my ears started ringing so I actually googled it and it said it’s fine and I just drank water after that…. I was impressed with how little alcohol I could taste in all the drinks, nothing at all! I was entirely in control the whole time, it was very different to my weed experience, I’m starting to think I’m immune to alcohol or the drinks were very underdosed but it’s impossible since my friend has been drinking for years and only had about 3 more and got pissed.
Last thing to add is I left my bag and coat at the clockroom of a bar and the bouncer was such a dick, they never have me a ticket so refused to return it. That girl was so nice she offered to wait until 3am when they said come back if I wanted to go home but I said i’d stay. We went at 3:15 and no one answered. I rang my dad and he told me these people can be knobs sometimes and I should ring them tomorrow. I did leave my contact details but thank god my credit card wasn’t in there.
I think being drunk underwhelmed me a little, I expected it to be much stronger of a feeling! It’s actually put me off trying it regularly as it just gave me the confidence I could naturally have and was just a little boost. I basically got the way that people I know who are total extroverts do sober. I’m glad I experienced it though and know what it’s like to go on a night out. I’m in Manchester and it’s famous for good nightlife.
