So I'm going to be a 21 year-old college student, you know what that means. I'm the first of my friends to turn 21, and they are all pushing me to do the 21 shots. To be honest, I don't really want to, but of course they would feel like a wimp if I don't try. I don't drink a lot of hard alcohol, mostly just beer. They are throwing me a party at their house and buying all the alcohol.
My problem is I want to be able to remember my birthday, so I will start the shots as soon as possible. I thinking I can knock out like 8 the night before my party and finish the rest over the course of the next day, maybe like 1-2 an hour. I want to be sober enough so that I can function normally at my party, but drunk enough so that I have a great time. I will probably need to get some lower proof stuff, but obviously I can't get anything super "girly" for fear of being made fun of for drinking it.
Any suggestions on how I should go about the shots or what to drink?
I know this is a stupid, please don't flame me and say that I am retarded for attempting this.
EDIT: I'm about 6'0 and 170 pounds, if that gives you an idea of how I can hold my alcohol.
