I need advice on drinking for tomorrow night?
 

I'm a short girl and I'm very light-weight too. I have no alcohol tolerance because I've only drank once before. Last time I only got a little tipsy because I was being really careful, drinking water a lot, and I barely drank any alcohol but when I did, I did it really slowly. Anyway, I want to get more drunk this time but I don't want to get sick or get a hangover. I'm going to drink two cans of 5% alcohol, so how fast should I drink them? Can I get drunk off that?

Whether you get drunk depends on your weight and how often you drink. Also it depends on whether you are on medication - some mh meds will make you drunk quicker and some arent even supposed to be mixed with alcohol.

My advice is to drink slowly and have an non alcoholic drink between each can. If you can stay off the booze until around midnight then that's all the better.

Most importantly stay safe and if you are going out and taking a taxi back home, make sure it is licensed. Stepping into an unlicensed taxi is very dangerous, not to mention the fact you could get ripped off with little recourse.

Out of interest, why do you want to get more drunk this time?

And I agree with insig's advice above. Be really careful, as you don't really know how you're going to be when you're drunk. I presume that as you're on this site, you have some sort of mental health difficulties, so just be aware that getting drunk could cause an exacerbation of some of your symptoms.

I hope I don't sound too negative here, I don't drink and am always cautious of appearing preachy because of this! I do know lots of people with mental health problems who enjoy getting a bit drunk and it doesn't cause any issues, I've just also seen it end badly so wanted to warn you to be careful.

Hope you have an enjoyable night!

I just also want to add to this that it's not just mental health meds but also many others that can be affected by drink or should not be mixed by it. Many think that they just cause you to feel drunk quicker but that is not necessarily the case and in some cases can have very harmful circumstances.

I also don't think that a site like this is the right one to ask "can x amount of alcohol cause me to get drunk".

I hope you have a really fun night but I don't think your sole objective should be experiencing drink or trying to get drunk, that can spoil a night out which may have otherwise been really good plus you shouldn't have to get drunk to have a good night. I, for instance, spent the majority of my time at uni sober and had some v good nights out.

why do you want to get more drunk? Getting drunk is not a good thing.
Please try to be responsible about this and have a sober friend who can help you especially if you are going to a party. If you are going to go ahead and drink advice
Don't chug the bears that'll make you sick and throw up. Have drinks inbetween the bears.
Drink lots of water or Poweraid. And before you go to bed drink an advil and drink a glass of water.
