Had my first ever drink last night, wasn’t at all what I expected

A friend got me a bottle of cheap vodka. I don’t know what brand it was but it was guava flavored (I didn’t even know they had flavors )and 56% alcohol content apparently. I didn’t mix it with anything else. Had 120 Ml of it and wanted to drink more but my friends didn’t want me to drink too much because they didn’t know how I’d react. Apparently I have very high tolerance.

It went down well, I didn’t feel sick at all, just a little tipsy and overall it felt nice being in a drunken high. Made me forget my depression for a while. Felt superb.

Now I’m going out for lunch tomorrow and they serve drinks and I want to try out a cocktail, any recommendations? I’d still like to stick with vodka because it has no smell and I’ll be going home and wouldn’t want my family to know that I got drunk (it isn’t allowed in my culture lmao).

P.S I also tried a little bit of wine at my friend’s place and it tasted like medicine/tonic? Was it because it was some cheap shit?
