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?

Pacing yourself is key. As you get tipsy and feel good, the tendency will be to feel "yeah, let's have another and feel this even more!" and to drink more before what you've already drank has taken effect.

Drinks on an empty stomach will hit you faster. And be more likely to upset your stomach. Drinking with food is generally a better experience, but because this slows your absorbtion, you need to pace yourself even more.

But if the drinking does get away from you and you start to feel sick, let yourself throw up. You will feel better for it.
