    Americans Get Drunk For The First Time

    "This is the mistake train."

    Before we begin:

    We here at BuzzFeed Motion Pictures decided to give a few brave individuals the chance to get drunk for the first time, and things got a little weird.

    After dealing with the embarrassing things loved ones had done while drunk, 28-year-old Mike never really had an interest in alcohol.

    And Julian, 23, was always the person who took care of everyone else.

    23-year-old Jade had always feared the thought of losing control.

    And Maggie, 23, was scared to see what she'd be like in a more vulnerable state.

    Time to get drunk (in a safe and controlled environment)!

    Julian was clearly a happy drunk, and was feelin' himself...

    ...and Jade was just feeling all kinds of things.

    But things took a turn for the worse when Mike got a little sick to his stomach...

    ...and Maggie got a little emotional.

    A week later, the gang looked back on their experience and were happy with the fact that they were able to try it out in a safe environment.

    But they were all good with a "one and done" mentality.

    Mike said it right: "A wise man named T.S. Eliot once said, 'Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.' I think we went too far and now we have a better understanding of our limits."
