I may be getting drunk/high with a friend in the near future, what are some things to consider and watch out for? (lemmings.world)

So this will be my first time getting drunk drunk, and my friend is a year older than me and has done it several times before. I could have him watch me, but there may be a chance that he'd be high/drunk too, so what are some things to watch out for and consider during my first time getting drunk if I'm able to go to his house?

First you should know that both weight and gender matters for how much alcohol you can tolerate. Males can take more alcohol than women - perhaps 20% more. The heavier you are the more you can take as well - twice the weight takes roughly twice the alcohol. Don't just drink the same amount as the experienced people you are with, but consider those factors so it doesn't get out of hand.

Second, know that you will keep getting more drunk for a while (maybe 30-45 minutes) after you stop drinking. If the room starts spinning, take a break even if you feel like you can take more. And don't be afraid to say no if people try to push you. It would be a shame if the evening ends early for you because you get sick.

As far as the weed goes there isn't much to worry about. It is impossible to overdose. It will slow your mind for a day or two though, so don't do it up to an exam or things like that.

Finally, have fun! 😊
