Fear of being drunk...normal?

I experience the same.

I consider myself dignified and reserved, only speaking when I have something worth saying. When I see a drunk friend of mine, I see an uncoordinated, boisterous idiot that looks vaguely like my friend. I have no desire to make myself into a clumsy ass.

Plus, I have many secrets, and, as we all know, in vino veritas.

It sounds like your the type of person that needs to be in control, or likes to be in control, not sure, but, being drunk would mean you wouldn't have control over your actions or what you say, that's probably why your scared of it, not necessarily the alcohol, but, the fear of losing control.

Since you've never really drank much I would say it's normal to be afraid of being drunk, however you should not be afraid of your willpower! Be strong! If you don't want to get drunk... don't. If you are drinking then just be very careful with the amount you are having and go very slowly so you don't have too much before it kicks in.
You'll be fine.

I don't drink. I can't. Chronic illness. But I'm insulted consistently for being "straight edge" That being said, I can understand your fear. I dislike the idea. I fear not being in control of my body.

I think you shouldn't worry so much about offending the host though! Real friends wouldn't mind.

I have never drank and my state is the worst drinking state in the country. I do not want to ever be "Wasted" and act like the idiots at parties. And people tend to use alcohol as an excuse for stupid actions. Also alcoholism runs in my family and I see what it does to them. So I think your completely normal.

I had the same problem man, believe me you need to get totally shitfaced at least once to know what kind of a drunk you are and what a hangover can do to you. I swore I'd never get that drunk, but I eventually found myself giving a lap dance to doorway holding a vodka highball in one hand and my shirt in the other. The hang over the next morning and the constant humiliation from my fellow students has only added to my desire never to get shit faced again.

its normal to fear the feeling of being drunk........ just hold a drink in your hand the whole night and no one will ask you to drink. cause u already have a drink

If you want to control the fear, you could try to find your limit. In my family before we are allowed to publicly drink (like go out and drink) we have house parties and like get the newbie drunk, not out of head drunk but until they are relatively intoxicated, this allows the person to discover how much they can drink comfortably.
So for example i now know that i can drink 4 cocktails, or 20+ shots and get tippy, but can only drink half a bottle of wine and be swaying. because i know this i don't let myself reach that limit.

You could also do the 1 glass a night, which is were you have one glass/can and you drink it... all night (i did this a lot to begin with because i also don't like the idea of not being in full control of my body or surroundings), every time people offer you just show them the drink. if they offer you a different kind, just tell them that you don't mix drinks. Or just say your allergic.

Then don't do it... Falling into that can lead to serious regret

Actually, it's not common, but perfectly rational. When you get drunk you become different, and more unstable, making it easier to be attacked or fall over. So yeah, I think it's pretty normal, but alcohol can be fun!

You should experience it, then complain...

You're normal. The first time I was pressured to drink a lot, I wasn't even really drunk. I just thought I was drunk, and I was afraid of what would happen, and I started acting like a complete fool.

The truth is: alcohol is a sedative. It intensely relaxes the body and mind and produces an extremely pleasant sensation almost like invulnerability. The feeling alone is so wonderful that it is addictive in itself. People become dependent on it both mentally and physically, and if you drink all the time for years it will kill you.

Its not that bad and if your with people u trust then why does it matter??? But as previously sed yes just hold a drink in ur hand and if anyone tries to pressure you then surely this helps sort the freinds from the accaquaintences (not spelt right! lol. Or if u dont want to do then ACT drunk! lol xxx good luck and dont fret xx

I have the same fear. It is is because I know that if I were drunk, I would probably say the kinds of things I say on this site.

no ura freak
