Hi all,
I'm currently 18 years of age. I started drinking(properly) last year when I was 17. So far, as far as drinking goes, I've been doing great. I'm far more tolerant than most of my friends and can outdrink most of them remaining more sober after half a bottle than most of them are after a couple shots.
Last weekend, we together with my roommate decided to get a 750ml bottle of Bacardi(quite cheap of a rum). I ended up drinking most of it, around 600ml, with an empty stomach and no chaser. Downed the whole bottle of the cheap crap in less than half an hour. It got me pretty messy and just as I laid in my bed to sleep I started throwing up like crazy all over the room. Never before had I thrown up after drinking. I had to clean up the place the next day while hungover.
The point of this post is, as I'm writing this, I'm sipping scotch. Sadly, it is making me kinda sick. My body's reaction to last weekend's overkill I guess. I had a couple pints of beer and some wine earlier this week and had no problems. The taste of somewhat cheap whiskey(Black Label) reminds me of the the Bacardi and makes me a little sick.
The question is, how fast can I recover and go back to drinking hard liquor?
Thanks.
You are already in trouble with drinking.
LISTEN to your body. Don't do what it does not like! it's telling you to knock it off.
And start by going a week without a drink to get your body cleaned out. After that, limit yourself to two drinks at most - there is no virtue in being able to out-drink your friends. Too many teenagers trying to "act like grownups" do that.
And if you find that you start drinking more, QUIT. Not everyone is able to drink occasionally - some people need to stay away from it.
This... Anyone who gets drunk .. on purpose is an idiot. Period. Don't be that.
