Drank for the first time – kinda underwhelmed

I wanna preface this by saying, I’m not a big dude by any means. 5’9’’ and 160 pounds.

We got these 99 proof tiny bottles. And people kept telling me to go slow cause apparently those are pretty strong for alcohol. Sure enough I was 5 down and maybe felt warm in the cheeks and a bit talkative. Meanwhile my friends who have drank before were feeling sick.

Whyyyyyyy 😭😭😭😭😭😭

(Not looking for advice, just a funny thing. Me and my friend have an inside joke about it being my Swedish heritage cause Vikings were notorious drinkers)
