Every girl goes through the stage where they complain that they can't finish a shot because the taste is just too close to lighter fluid. This stage tends to last during the first couple experiences dealing with alcohol, and even though at the time it doesn't seem like alcohol can taste bearable, you'll get there with time.
The second stage comes with the most drunk experiences; the "I can only take shots" stage consists of lots of visits from cousin Vodka and Aunt Tequila. This stage occurs at the same time that you go through the heavy partying stage, and this is no coincidence. The two go hand and hand, otherwise you are messing up this stage big time!
This stage consists of more of an experimentation with beers and wines and is usually the best kind of drunk that you will ever experience. In this stage, people find themselves looking for quality over quantity, and will choose a more chill environment instead of finding themselves at ragers. This kind of buzz is not likely to give you a hangover and is often something that you share with coworkers after work and can relax by the pool with.
The final stage consists of fruity, cocktail kind of drinks that include daiquiris, pina coladas, blue Hawaiians, and mimosas. These drinks are found on a special occasion that have thousands of calories but are meant to be more of a dessert than an actual alcoholic beverage. The purpose of drinking them is more for taste than to get tipsy and at this stage, you have reached a comfortable level with alcohol that allows it to be enjoyed as an accessory to your social life, not the main event.
