some advice to novice drinker  

My advice is to stop when you get a little light headed. I know my limits and I will not over step them these days because I feel lousy in the mornings, I know how bad it is for my body, and I am very scared of what could happen to me if I loose my inhibitions.

i don't drink but i have tasted alcohol.

there was one incident i itched all over, long red streaks from head to toe, so i swore never to taste anything again.

i do know that you have to eat first and alterate eating with drinking. but i didn't know that a full stomach makes you more susceptible to puking.

i do feel sorry for the girls. unlike guys, they lose more and don't even know it.

My advice is not to try it. I was a hard drinker before, we used to drink from evening to morning but during my college days I was removed from a dean's listed student(Top Student) I almost lost my Department of Science and Technology scholarship because of drinking wine every night instead of studying. Before, I thought that it's hard to stop drinking but when Christ came into my life it changes everything.

My advice is not to drink.drunk is a hurt to our health.

I can pretty much agree with everything you said except the part about wine. This of course is only my opinion taken from my own experience. Wine is precisely the one alcoholic drink I would not recommend for the novice drinker since it can have a very pleasing flavor and can go down very smooth. It can mislead a first time drinker, as it did me on more than one occasion, into believing that they are not getting drunk when in fact they are getting VERY drunk. Even when the other guidelines you mentioned are followed the inebriating ability of wine can be so subtle that it has a tendency to "sneak up" on the drinker especially when they are inexperienced. I've never tried another alcoholic beverage, including beer and mixed drinks, that is as subtle as wine. Two of my most regrettable experiences with drinking...being falling-down drunk and sick as well....came from drinking wine. Again, it's only my opinion, but I wouldn't recommend the novice drinker start off with wine.

Thats nice to hear..Drinking is really a addiction and not easy to quit all of sudden. But good thing is there are many rehabilition center for helping to get rid of these habits. Try them and make a great change in your life.

I say dont drink at all why get yourself drunk and what makes beer so special i prefer some fruitjuice over a bottle of beer
