(Sorry if this is the wrong section)

All throughout high school, my group of friends weren't big on drinking. Now that we've all gone away to university, they've started bringing alcohol to our get-togethers. I have no problem with this- I'm not against drinking or anything -but it's made me realize how little I know about alcohol. The crowd I'm with at university doesn't drink an awful lot, so I still haven't really experienced it.

On New Years we got together, and I was the only one not drinking. I would have, but I don't really know what to do with it. A friend of mine offered me a thingy of flavoured Smirnoff vodka, but I didn't do anything with it because I didn't know what to do xD They were all mixing stuff with like, pops, but I didn't know if certain drinks can only got with certain soda or what. I didn't want to ask them, because I felt kind of dumb.

So basically, my question is, are there any like... rules to drinking alcohol? Or any suggestions what a first time drinker should have?
