I used to be curious when I saw men in beer parlors with a lot of beers on their tables, they would be drinking and gisting and I thought the beer was actually very sweet for some of them to be able to finish 6 bottles on a sit.

One day, I had the opportunity to sip from my dad's beer bottle and I spit it out immediately because it tasted like urine, I have never tasted urine by the way in case you wondering how I got to know the taste, It tasted bad and I don't think urine taste good either lol.
The taste of the beer made me wonder why men found so much joy in drinking it, and if their taste buds were even working! That was how my curiosity ended, and I resolved that I wouldn't be a drinker because I don't find joy in drinking bitter things.
As much as I don't take alcohol like beers, I have a favorite which is palm wine, I don't know how it started and how I ended up loving palm wine so much but it is one drink that I don't joke with and it was this same drink that got me drunk years ago.
On that fateful day, One of my street brothers that we used to play football together, his brother wife gave birth and he invited us to dine and wine at their place, immediately we finished playing football that day in the evening, instead of going home to take our bath, some of us headed to their house and we were entertained with food, It was not up to 30 minutes after we got there that they brought in my favorite drink in a 25 litter keg.
As it landed, I took a bowl for some palm wine and I started drinking, I even dropped the jollof I was eating to focus on the palm wine, and without exaggerating, I drank 5 liters of the drink that night but I did not feel anything, I still feel normal and sane, That was what I thought until It was time to go home.

I stood up and could not feel any strength inside of me again, I was moving with the air, I had to sit back, that was when I knew water don pass Garri, Fortunately, my best friend was with me and he was not a fan of palm wine so he was not drunk, he was the one that held me and took me home and on our way home, I said something that made me feel embarrassed.*
What did I say? That same week I had a fight with one of the boys in our community, while they were separating us, his fist landed on my jaw which made me dizzy and everyone cheered for him which made me angry, so that night I was drunk, I mentioned the topic again to my best friend, he was not there that day If he was there, It won't have happened, he was muscular and my protector lol.
After we got home, he said he was going back to meet the others. Still, without him knowing, I followed him again lol, and this time I created a lot of scenes by running after him and one guy on a bike, because they wanted to go and buy fuel, I do not even want to remember all I did before I eventually went back home by myself.
None of my family knew I was drunk that night, cos immediately I got home, I didn't even bother to eat my food cos I was already okay, I just entered my room and slept off till the next day.
When I went out the next day to play ball, my friends that were there at the event were just calling my name, of course I know the reason, it was because of my display last night lol.
That was my first and last time getting drunk into a stupor!
