My first alcoholic experience, woo hoo.

So last night I drank alcohol for the first time ever.

I was coerced into playing Chandeliers. If you don't know what that is, here's a run-down:

• Everyone who's playing has a designated cup filled with about a fifth of beer. These cups are arranged in a circle around one cup completely filled with beer.
• Players take turns bouncing a quarter into the cups, aiming for the center cup. If the quarter bounces into one of the cups on the outside, the person whose cup it landed in has to drink it (the beer, not the quarter!).
• The goal is to bounce the quarter into the center cup. When that happens, everyone must down their drink as fast as possible, then flip their cup over, top-down. The last person to do this has to chug the beer in the center.

Basically, it's a way to get a lot of people drunk really fast. Lucky for me, though, I only had to drink my beer three times, so it really wasn't very much. After I played Chandeliers, I didn't drink anymore for the rest of the night, even though some guy tried to talk me into a funneling a beer. When I refused, he called me a bitch and then promised to get me "fucked up" next time I go to the frat house. It kinda pissed me off, until Kelley reminded me that he most likely won't even remember me.

I won't lie, it was really fun watching the guys play beer pong, talking to drunk people, playing Chandeliers, and just experiencing a college party. However, I'm still upset that I can no longer say I've never drank before. I was really proud of myself for it, and I think from now on I'll just say I'm the DD. At any rate, I am glad that I'm nothing more than a social drinker. I seriously plan on never, ever getting drunk, because I refuse to allow anyone or anything but ME control myself. Alcohol really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sobriety is much, much more fun, and I plan to experience nothing but that.
