I had alcohol for the first time in my life.

Oh, one last bit of advice. Best way to deal with and hopefully avoid hangovers is to drink plenty of fluids. Hangovers are largely a result of dehydration as the alcohol molecule binds in place of a water molecule, leaving your body dehydrated. (Or so I've read.) (My brother, ostensibly, used to drink cooking oil before going to parties so that he could drink more. I don't know if that actually worked, but that's what my parents said. I can't imagine drinking cooking oil just to drink more and avoid a hangover. If anyone has info on whether this is folklore, let me know.)
