Who likes to party?

Okay so, I know you guys prob see this topic on the boards all the times, but I am a bit nervous and need some advice.  I just moved back into college and I know I am going out to party this weekend.  I'm a bit nervous about drinking..... and I don't know what to drink or how much! Any drink suggestions with the least amount of calories/ etc?  Also, how much will be too much?  I'm nervous about it all.... but I really wanna go out and have a good time!  Please, if you have any suggestions let me know!  Thanks guys :-)

Heyy :)

I went out for the first time a few weeks ago and had 2 vodka cranberries with lime and was good to go- i totally couldnt have done a third one. PLus it was at a bar so of course they wernt very strong. Just be careful- youll know when its enough. Have fun!!! :)

Being so early out I would definately advise you not to try too much too fast... our bodies are amazing at internalizing alchohol super duper fast and it gets many into trouble.  My surgeon advised me to wait until after a year out... as I did.

That being said... I'm a party girl.  I enjoy hanging with the peeps at the local watering hole for Karaoke, dance night, etc etc.  But, I limit myself.  There was a time where I didn't know how to handle and tell when I had had too much and got into a lot of trouble.  I know now that yes alchohol messes with me.  I can have one beer and be good for the night, two is ok, but more than that I'll need a ride home for sure.  Hard and mixed drinks... one is good for me.  I'm a total light weight.... when I was being more distastrous I didn't think I was and would drink Tequila Sunrises, AMF, Long Islands like water... oye.  Now, I'm cheap money wise and am great with a light beer... If I want something strong, I'll do rum and diet coke....

Good luck Lara, and please drink responsibly.

hi, i wait until 6 months out. but i drink like i did before and no problema at all. maybe 4 drinks are fine.  try it fisth home. don´t drink beer `cuz is carbonated.

I started out with capecod's. Last night I drank crown royal and water w/ lime and it was pretty good and a lot less calories than other mixed drinks.
