Tequila is plant based and has a lot of impurities. Almost all other alcohols are grain or fruit based and have less impurities. Some people cant handle tequila at all... it's normal.
The panic attack is weird as hell, but probably not something to worry about. Just stay away from tequila. My first time getting drunk was also with tequila shots and I had way too many, it took forever for me to even be able to smell it again without feeling sick.
I can casually drink it now, but it left a lasting impression.
1. You may be allergic to alcohol. And/or 2.
You may have tendencies to panic when you are impaired and/or 3. You may be just another victim of tequila, a.k.a. "te kill ya" Getting drunk on tequila is like begging someone to kick you in the head until you pass out, give you a tattoo, then wake you up by putting you on a tilt-a-whirl until you hurl.
There are MUCH more civilised ways to enjoy your alcoholic beverages! But I know, that's what you do at 21. Don't overdo it, you could die, and you are much too young for that, eh?
When you get tired of the panic/puke cycle, drink beer all night and watch everyone else getting stupid. MUCH more fun.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
