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?

Don't do it.

If you've never been drunk and/or high before AND you're asking the internet for what to watch out for, you're not being safe no matter what.

I am a happy and fun drunk. I am lucky. You could be any kind of drunk. From mean and belligerent to downright fucking stupid to sad and weepy. You need a friend who loves you enough to put up with a large amount of shit from you depending on who you turn into. There is a huge spectrum of drunk and you don't even know where you fall.

NOW, we'll turn to the fact you've got a "friend" that you don't trust enough to ask them to stay sober. WHO you are around when drinking is just as important as any other safety measure. It's literally just as important as not driving while drunk.

You want to get drunk, fine. I don't care how old you are (from your question I assume under legal age) don't skip basic safety to do it. Arrange a time and place with people you trust. Worst case scenario you have one less night drinking.
