Recently Got Drunk for the First Time

And I'd rate it a 6/10. Passing.

Gained points because I did feel "drunk". Lost points because it's a high risk, low return activity.

I remember damn near everything. I was dizzy. I had a "hunch" (but not nauseous) feeling that I was gonna throw up, and such coincidental hunch was correct when I headed to the toilet a few seconds later. 

It felt like I could function, but I don't want to or need to, so I won't. I truly couldn't, but my mind interpreted inability as unwillingness. Slurred words, heavy-headed, eyes rolling, etc. Not that I could, but it felt like I could imagine seeing myself from a third person perspective. No actual out-of-body experience, but I knew how I looked. 

3 shots and 1 beer, which a friend told me is ultimately 4 shots, is too much. 2 or 3 would be fine. I consumed the same amount as my friend, but he's a few inches taller and there's a solid weight difference, so he was far less drunk. 

I deem it "high risk" because there is the risk of death, which was hard to control, as I didn't know exactly how much was too much. Also liver damage, weight gain, etc. I deem it "low return" because the sensation wasn't novel. I've felt heavy/dizzy/tired/nauseous before. Hyperglycemia. Hypoglycemia. 0 hours of sleep. Half a gram of benadryl. Too much caffeine. Meditation for a couple hours. The only difference this time was that it was harder to get a hold of myself. If I ever want to feel that way again, I will induce such a sensation with the previous methods listed. Some come with similar risks, but its a lot harder to get there. 

I thought I'd get extra angry, or extra sad, or perverse or something.
