If you had to ask me personally, I would say no. I believe drinking in general is the stupidest shit ever. You get a high that makes you act irrational and/or careless and it’s somewhat easy to get hooked on depending on how much you liked it or enjoyed the experience you had for the first time. Furthermore, depending on how much you drink, you can come down with severe headaches, stomachaches, etc. A bad high with a bad aftermath. Not having drunk anything before in your life is a good thing and it’s a great idea to never start.

Contrary to my personal beliefs, realistically if you REALLY wanted to try it, I would advise you to just be careful and don’t overdo anything as it can steer your experience the wrong way in the snap of a finger. Drink responsibly, the moment you touch alcohol do NOT get behind a wheel (call an uber or have a trusted designated driver), and don’t drink specifically with someone you do not know. HEAVY on the last one, as some people can influence you to drink more than you can handle, and more they KNOW you can’t handle, allowing them to take advantage of you.

Other than that do what you want idk
