Is it normal to become nervous for my first time drinking alcohol?

Yesterday, I was nervous about drinking Budweiser but then I drank the whole thing and enjoyed it.

Is this normal though?

    I first tried alcohol at 15, it was blue WKD and I felt nothing. At 16 I tried vodka lemonade and felt nothing. At 17 I decided I was immune to drunkenness and tried a lot of gin and tonic. I did not feel nothing.

    It’s normal to be nervous. Remember that drinking alcohol is not mandatory and take it slow. Starting with beer was a good move, if you want to I’d recommend slowly moving up the alcohol content scale and having a “less is more” approach to spirits.

      I agree, it’s wise to start with beer or another light alcoholic drink. It’s not a good idea to try and get drunk off rum, tequila, vodka etc. your first go-around.

    I dunno, I'm Catholic, have never been a heavy drinker, and I have been drinking most of my life. I was allowed to drink small amounts of wine with family during holiday dinners as a small child, and so alcohol has never held any sort of mystique for me. I've honestly never understood what was the big deal about alcohol for some people.

    Sounds normal. A lot of people see their first time drinking alcohol as some sort of rite of passage.

    Personally, I never saw the appeal in alcoholic drinks.
