I just want to reiterate how slowly you ought to drink. I understand that "one drink an hour or two" sounds painfully slow, but even one drink an hour can get you drunk and have an awful hangover after three or four hours.

I'm just worried because first time drinkers extremely under estimate the potency of alcohol! First night I drank I didn't believe I was drunk after two drinks, I went strait to 5 and fell on the floor over the trash can and started digging out all the content to see what I could find.

I did the same thing a couple nights later and cried on the floor when my boyfriend left the house for 10 minutes to get more beer. I thought he was gone forever. (he left for more beer 'cause, y'know, I thought I didn't have enough!!)
