I think ppl who can't handle liquor cant bc they're stupid with it. Like maybe there's some truth to what AJ said about their liking to get blackout drunk. I I haven't drank with or watched Somalis drink so I can't provide my usual astute armchair analysis

, but usually ppl who get blackout don't have a sense of control unless it's deliberate. At some point, you have to learn your limit.
Its because we aren't exposed to it growing uo, my cadaan friend said that her parents occasionally let her have a sip of their wine glasses when she was younger.
The only reason why I was being overly cautious was a cause I still live with my parents and didn't want to get caught. Best believe I hit up Google like

before my first time to avoid the daqan celis lmaooo. I followed all the steps and everything

made sure I ate before I went, paced myself etc.
I think it also depends on your company. Lbr some ppl are not good friends lol especially when they let you act a fool. At least I had a decent couple of folks around to tell me what to expect. There was this one guy who kept encouraging me to take shots even tho I told him it was my first time drinking

the others gave him a right telling off
