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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to my first university party already a little drunk. I perched on the end of a table to cool off from the dancing and the whole table tipped over and dumped me onto the floor. I was promptly laughed out of the room. FML
Today, I helped myself to a small glass of cocktail from the fridge, not realising it was alcoholic. I told my mom what happened. She made me drink salty water until I vomited so I wouldn't get "alcohol poisoning". I'm 19. FML
Today, I went to my first ever party as a freshman, with friends from my dorm. There was a dance floor, and despite never having danced in public before, I put my best efforts into my dance moves… only to end up dislocating my knee. It's safe to say I won't be winning any dance contests anytime soon. FML
Today, it's my twenty first birthday. My biggest birthday surprise was discovering that I'm alcohol intolerant, by vomiting my first beer all over my boyfriend's mother. FML
Today, I was confronted by my father after I got back home from a party in the early hours. He demanded to know if I'd been doing any drugs, and then decided to give me a scare lecture on the dangers of alcohol. I'd had a few beers. He had the smell of tequila on his breath. FML
Today, I found out why I get so red all over at parties. Turns out I'm allergic to alcohol. FML
Today, I pulled up to a party with my friends. I never partied in high school and college due to being bullied, so I was excited for my first party. It turned out to be a college house party, I'm a little older by 3 years but it’s no big deal. They mistook me for a freshman and I was bullied. FML
Today, for my 18th birthday, I went out to a club with my mate and I drank so much I ended up breaking my nose. I was there for an hour. FML
Today, I went to a party with 5 of my friends. Within five minutes, they'd all paired up and gone. Then it was just me, drinking my pain away. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're intolerant because you're STILL IN ******* HIGH SCHOOL. I realise many people here are not from the US, but in Florida (where OP is from), it is illegal to drink under age 21. It's illegal for a reason. 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.

You shouldn't have been drinking anyway, but look at the bright side... Now you won't run the risk of getting too drunk and doing stupid stuff you regret later. Drinking is overrated anyway.

Why would you get drunk if you're underage? In my country you get hit with a stick for doing that!

I was chugging vodka at 12. And had given up cocaine before you were born.

"I wouldn't put anything in my body that can harm me." So I'm guessing you take absolutely no medications such as tylenol, ibprofen, or anything like that since all of those can and do harm you a bit just by taking them. Anyway, as other people pointed out, not everyone who drinks does so to the point that they black out. There are some who just stick to one or two if/when they drink.

I used to drink while I was still in school, but I was never dumb enough to do anything retarded like lots of people do and I was lucky enough to not have the problem OP has. Its really not a great thing to drink while you're still so young, but I think it happens SO much that it doesn't typically faze people. Honestly I believe the people freaking out saying how she deserves it just because she tried to have a shot are only saying that because it's fml, its what they do here. Although the OP does have something thats not great wrong with them it definately isn't horrific and I think its better they found out now than later. What if they were an adult, not living with parents, with someone who's drunk, it's not like anyone would call their parents. If parents weren't called they would've been taken to the washroom or left there because everyone would just think they were too drunk. I've seen so many people get REALLY sick from alcohol, I actually knew someone who would drink even though they were intalerant just like the op. Although she knew she was and drank anyway...idiot...she would just have a sip or two of a cooler and be super drunk and sick the next day. IM NOT RECOMMENDING THIS OP and fyl for going through that pain, but you'll be able to avoid it very easily.

Guys, let's get serious, like 95% of highschoolers drink and have parties. OP, FYL. That must have been really embarrassing, and now you can't party with your friends. I know that shouldn't matter, but whether anyone likes it or not, it's part of fitting in, in highschool.
