Honestly, skip getting wasted, just get a nice buzz, it's a lot better.
Margaritas is a good one...

First time and a lady??? Hmm, Long Island Tea....

Got to go with liquor, none of that fruity stuff. Long Island teas are awesome, but hit you later like a brick wall. My personal favorite is just rum and coke. You have a bit more control and can tell how drunk you are getting. Also less calories than the fruity.

I agree try a nice little buzz and not getting wasted.


I like a nice chardonnay myself. And I find wine a litlte harder to overindulge in.

Champagne, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Meritage... any grape. They are natural and they are good for your health.

I agree with the wine - i used to love a nice buttery chardonnay and never got sick (Robert Mondavi, Kendall Jackson, Yellowtail - there are a lot of good California chardonnays.

Bogle is another good Chardonnay

Everclear.

Make a jungle juice. You mix it with a mixture of different fruit juices. You won't know what hit you.

SFY, for shame! The poor girl will be drunk for days! Afterall she's a newbie drinker.

You really don't want to get drunk drunk. The buzz is best. And hell why not a fruity drink? Get a margarita or a daiquiri! Oooooh ... a pomtini!

Bacardi 151

LOL @ SFY!

He's 100% right, btw.

I don't know. If you're not a drinker, why start now? I mean, I'm the absolute last guy that will ever judge you on that, but just make sure if you're going to give it a go that you make sure you drink amongst friends who will take care of you in case you get, in the words of my ex-MIL, whom I love dearly, "a little too drinky".

If you're not a drinker...it doesn't matter. Two or three strong drinks of anything will get you drunk. And then you'll sober up without a headache too. (Hint: drink lots of water before you drink, and before you go to bed. Dehydration is the biggest reason for the headache.)

I drink so little currently, that just looking at the bottles gets me tippsy....

I'm not so sure wine would be the best choice - I love appreciating it (especially with food) but I get some wicked hardcore headaches from it if I have too much. Now margaritas on the other hand...

salt the glass please

*High fives SFY* ... one of my fav drinks.. Everclear ... or Tequila! but Tequila might not be the best choice to start off with.

I guess what you drink depends on if you want to walk on your own or not. If you want to be able to still have your wits about you, just have some champagne to toast your b-day and maybe a cocktail or two. If you don't care that someone will be carrying you home, then it doesn't matter what you drink, just drink a lot of it.

have fun and be safe.

Make sure you have a designated driver...and I've been putting a really good vodka with red bull or pineapple juice for a nice drink
