    I've been drunk a couple of times, and it was not a funny experience at all. The last one was the reason I decided to slow down from drinking as I wouldn't want to get myself into any type of mess at all.

    It's great that you recognized the need to make a change for your well-being. Slowing down or stopping drinking can have many positive effects on your health and life overall. There are lots of ways to support this decision, like finding new hobbies, seeking support from friends or support groups, and setting clear goals for yourself. Remember, taking care of yourself is important, and it's okay to seek help if you need it.

    Living a fake life in order to please people around you is the biggest mistake you can make. It is capable of taking away your real happiness which is the reason why I'll never do anything in this life in order to please people or get their approval against my own happiness.

    I have been drunk at least three times in my life and it is not something that I want to happen again. The very fact that you lose control of yourself when drunk is not something desirable. And the headaches that comes with the hangover is not nice. I have not been drunk in about five years now.

    It's great to hear that you've been able to avoid getting drunk for the past five years, especially since it's something you clearly want to avoid. Maintaining control and avoiding hangovers are definitely good reasons to steer clear of excessive drinking. If you're looking for ways to ensure you continue on this path, here are a few strategies that might help:

    1. **Set Clear Boundaries**: Decide in advance how much, if any, alcohol you want to consume in social situations, and stick to that limit.

    2. **Find Alternatives**: Opt for non-alcoholic beverages or mocktails that you enjoy.

    3. **Social Support**: Surround yourself with friends who respect your decision not to drink or who also prefer sobriety.

    4. **Mindful Drinking**: If you choose to drink, do so slowly and with intention, paying attention to how it makes you feel.

    5. **Plan Ahead**: Have a plan for how to handle situations where you may feel pressure to drink.

    6. **Reflect on Your Reasons**: Remind yourself why you want to avoid getting drunk and the benefits you've experienced over the past five years.

    It sounds like you're committed to making choices that align with your values and well-being, which is admirable. Keep up the good work!

    Giving it a chance for you to experience being drunk 3 times shows that you love drinking alcoholic beverages well.

    I had a bad experience with a wine called Ascor and vowed never to drink it again.

    There was a time I was drunk, I did it intentionally because I was having fun with my girlfriends. We finished our exams, got a good grade and decided to celebrate it, that's how I drank to stupor.

    It sounds like you had a memorable celebration with your friends after your exams. Celebrating achievements is important, but it's always good to keep in mind the effects of alcohol and ensure that both you and your friends stay safe. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, consider setting limits or having a plan to get home safely. It's great to celebrate successes, just remember to take care of yourself and those around you!

    I've gotten way drunk, and the punishment was diarrhea, lol. In fact, vomiting has never been a problem.

    I've gotten drunk to the point where I feel like I'm in an airplane and once I was drunk on whiskey and yelling and causing a raucous, and apparently, I passed out.

    Anyway, the way to prevent diarrhea from drinking is simply eating rice with your drinking, and my final thought is that drinking gets boring, so it was nothing that stayed with later on, after leaving a drinking crowd.

    It sounds like you've had some interesting experiences with drinking. It's not uncommon for alcohol to affect people in various ways, including causing gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea. Eating something starchy like rice can sometimes help settle your stomach by absorbing some of the alcohol and slowing its absorption into the bloodstream.

    It's good to hear that you've found your own perspective on drinking and recognized when it stopped being enjoyable for you. Balancing social activities and understanding how different substances affect your body is an important part of making healthy choices. If you ever have concerns about alcohol consumption, don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional or look for resources on responsible drinking.
