Today, I went to my first ever high school party with music, drinks, and dancing. Within a few minutes of taking my first ever shot of tequila, I was in the worst pain in my life. My parents were called and I had to be taken to the hospital. I'm alcohol intolerant. FML

You should have eaten protein first...
I had 6 shots of Bacardi 151, and 10 more of Alize before I crashed when I ate.
than last night didn't eat first, 3 shots of Alize and 1 of 151 and I couldn't even stand..
Eat something when you drink people, come on...
I never drank till after highschool but other friends did, their parents were all in contact and approved. I think you can have a controlled party.
Whatever you had happen was either you bring quite virgin to the pain it can cause in your throat and chest that you assumed you were dying, or you really have a huge issue there.
Better luck next time lol

@GoingLesbian:
Alcohol intolerance is an inability to convert alcohol to sugar that can be digested. If I remember my science right, it takes two steps for the body to convert alcohol to sugar. People who are alcohol intolerant are missing the enzyme for the second step, and the convertedx1 sugar backs up in the brain and causes major pain.
It has nothing to do with being too drunk or not drinking correctly. All you did with extra food was slow down the absorption of the alcohol by filling your stomach with food first (especially fatty foods).
And may I suggest that the amount of alcohol you can drink before passing out from near-poisoning is not exactly a badge of honor.

109, it totally is. I can't imagine going about life without a glass of wine. certain fields just require it- I'm premed and I can't imagine how I would deal with patients and deaths without something to numb my senses down since I am overtly emotional. That's not to say all doctors need it because my bf doesn't drink and he's going to med school now to be a surgeon. And it's proven than a glass of wine a day can decrease risk of heart damage and a glass of wine does not kill brain cells. At that level the liquor is so diluted that even if a molecule or two does pass blood brain barrier, it is insufficient to cause any permanent damage.

All you accomplished is making yourself look like the pathetic little poser you are. Have a nice life knowing you will never be as great as you think you are!!

Your brain is not going to stop developing if you have a moderate amount of alcohol before you're 21. That's bullshit. All of the studies I've seen on the topic focused on alcohol dependent individuals. Obviously if you consume alcohol on a daily basis, constantly, you are going to lose braincells at any age; that's just common sense. Many countries have lower drinking ages, are you saying that because of that all of those people have smaller than normal brains? . It's ridiculous to think that in the US a 20 year old can't have a glass of Champagne at New Years, it's so fucked. :/

@126, we do drink to get drunk here in Australia, overly overly drunk, goin out to the valley on the weekends with specifically the reason to get as drunk as you and dance with random chicks. The whole clubbing nightlife scene is built on getting drunk, and on my first night out on my 18th birthday I did almost get arrested for being too drunk in public(not proud of this however), but my friend convinced the police to let me go by getting his other friend to come pick me up and take me home.

Who says a doctor needs to be involved? If you try something and you suddenly break out in hives or your throat swells up so much that you can barely breathe, I think the conclusion that you're allergic to it is pretty obvious.

That wouldn't prove an allergy to weed itself though unless it happened with several possible strains of the plant. That could only prove that one was allergic to something involved with that particular plant. It may even be something as stupid as the dealer kept it in a box/bag that had something else in it that was bad. Never self diagnose an allergy because you could find out that what you assumed was not right.

That's not a cry for you to run out and smoke a bunch of pot. That is just a simple warning for anything that you might think you are allergic to. Get verification from a doctor always because otherwise your self diagnosis could come back and bite you in the ass later.

@185: Unsaid I suppose were my thoughts on this... alcohol is poison to the mind; it lowers your physical, mental and psychic defenses.
Also @ 22... get a life!"? Pathetic response. I haven't drank nor done drugs, and I feel fine. I do not feel like a no-life or a loser.
Though If having "no life" means I have a higher intelligence quotient than the majority of people, so be it.

I do if the person feels they are mature enough to handle it. I have plenty of friends who drank and smoked excessively in high school who are now successful adults in college, grad school, and the workplace. Just because YOU feel these people can't handle it doesn't mean it's true. And of course there are those people that can't handle their shit at all and are complete idiots when intoxicated. But when there are other countries letting their children drink at any age with better results then the U.S.'s current system, I don't see how you could be against it.

YDI both for drinking in high school and for making your first drink a shot of tequila. WTF were you thinking? You at least have a mixed drink or a beer first. Never start with shots.
Then again, I could be biased because i refuse to ever have (take? drink? do?) shots even after my 21st. But seriously, you start small first time.

Learn to read 115, he said half a decade AFTER they could be fending foe themselves. i.e. at 16 (half a decade before 21). Virtually everyone I know regularly drank alcohol at 16 and we're perfectly well adjusted people. Also, starting drinking before you go to university means you have some level of tolerance for the high level of drinking there. If you've never drunk before a university party you're bound to get stupidly wasted.

Yeah, it's a rare allergy/medical condition. Your body has a specific enzyme that's sends the alcohol to your liver and filters it out. People who are alcohol intolerant lack this enzyme, therefore, instead of filtering it out, the alcohol stays in your body and thus causing an allergic reaction. If not treated it could lead to death.
I don't know why, but it says that persons of Asian-decent represent a large number of the people who have this.

that's not how you drink?
To all the idiots here saying "lol kids start drinking at 13 get a life lololooloool" you need to shut your immature, clueless little mouths. I've seen more kids killed while drunk driving than I'd care to mention. I just pronounced an 18 year old dead last week because he thought he could drive drunk and get away with it. He didn't.
You can vote me down all you want, but that's the damned truth.
