Fear of being Drunk...Normal?
73% Normal
8 Comments

I do not particularly like the taste of alcohol, but I have only tried one kind of beer. I think that I do not need alcohol seeing as I am an athlete and want to live as long as possible (my uncle had a liver problem I think).

But I have this fear that I will be at a party and be pressured to drink or just want to do it to not insult the host, and that I will get drunk and not remember anything. I do not like the idea of not remembering what happened while I was smashed, because I could make a fool out of myself.

Is this a normal fear to have?
Do you think it's normal?

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.

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

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.

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.
