How likely is a strawberry daiquiri to get me drunk? I’ve only had alcohol once and that was one beer.

"a drink" contains roughly the same amount of alcohol regardless of type, so a daiquiri should get you about as inebriated as a beer.
Some caveats: since drunk people drink more, some places have specials earlier in the evening or on some drinks where you can make it a double for no or low upcharge. That glass now has two drinks in it.
Some drinks are easier to drink fast, which makes you feel the effects faster and stronger, so you might perceive yourself to be "more drunk", even though it's really just hitting you all at once. Delicious sugary drinks that mask the alcohol flavor are notorious for that.It takes about an hour to process a drink; sugary drinks will inevitably give you an upset stomach; water and food help keep your stomach settled ; you'll have a better time not having a drink you could have and feeling good than having a drink your shouldn't have and feeling gross, so if in doubt say nah.
You'll be fine with one with a meal with someone you know. A second is probably fine in the circumstances but more than that is iffy.
Beer is a little tricky to compare with cocktails since beer can range from a little over 1% to 15% and cans are generally the same size. Though at a bar, specialty higher ABV beers do typically come in smaller size glasses.
Everything else you said seems pretty accurate though. Gotta always watch out for drinking things too fast before you know where your comfort levels are.

That doesn’t mean you can drive an hour after you finish your drink.
Why not?

Size and weight have virtually zero to do with alcohol tolerance. Everyone is different. I have seen 100lb people throw back a fifth of vodka without blinking, while my inlaws can have half a wine cooler and be gone. With that said, one standard 12oz daiquiri won't make most people drunk.
Just start slow, and since you're pretty new to its effects, don't mix beer liquor and wine. Once you get used to your tolerance, you can mix it up a bit.
Do you have a source for it? As far as I know and also according to Wikipedia, this is not correct.
Direct alcohol tolerance is largely dependent on body size. Large-bodied people will require more alcohol to reach insobriety than lightly built people.

As someone who’s never drunk a full thing of it besides a beer once at around 18(?), I can say I have never gotten drunk before. I’ve also had some sips but definitely not drunk.
I want to try actually having some alcohol besides that beer since I’m drinking age in the United States (I’m 23). I decided I would order a daiquiri for dinner with my girlfriend.
(If this helps, I’m 135 pounds, 5’6, and female.)
I am... heavier but a little shorter, and I'd feel the alcohol from a single daiquiri but it wouldn't be unpleasant. More than one would be unpleasant. I'm also a lightweight, drinking maybe once a month at most, and usually more like every other month.

Re "a drink": That's maybe a little dangerous advice.
A standard daiquiri is going to be 2 full shots of rum, plus about ¾oz lime and simple, add some muddled strawberry to make strawberry. Just as a 7.5% IPA has much more alcohol than a 4.2% Guinness/Miller Lite.
IIRC, that puts a daiquiri at 2 "regular" 5% beers, or a bit more than 2 "domestic" lite beers. And that's assuming nobody used an overproof rum.
For a lightweight, that's a drink to sip slowly.
The faster you drink, the more and longer it affects you.

Strongly depends on the establishment serving the daiquiri. Some places load it up with booze, others only put in a half shot. There's no standard recipe. Be warned that sugar-heavy drinks like a daiquiri often cause hangovers more easily than non-sugary alcoholic drinks.
You're probably better off just ordering your favorite diet soda and a shot of vodka, whiskey, or rum on the side. Mix half of the shot with your drink and see how you feel, then go from there.

I don't like beer or most alcohol, so I have a drink maybe a few times per year.
One single alcohol is enough to get me tipsy, and we are similar in dimensions.
Have fun on your date!!

Golden advice my father gave me:
The second you start noticing any buzz it's time to ease down. There is still more alcohol in your stomach waiting to be absorbed so you'll continue getting more buzzed even if you do stop.
It's a great way to pace yourself.

For someone who doesn't drink and with your weight, you'll probably feel one.
Also, mixed drinks are more variable on determining when you are drunk. The liquor used to make it may be stronger or weaker. The quantity of alcohol can also be adjusted by the bartender.

Just have one and see if you like it. If you're 23 then you are old enough to figure out for yourself if you like it or not.
If you do like it it's fine, if you don't it's also fine. No pressure no worries
And you'll likely just feel a small buzz of the drink -

Akso, drink as much water as you do alcohol.

I made stupid mistakes in my youth and ended up in classes. This was repeated ad nauseum. As is the hour to process a single serving of alcohol is the same for everyone.

And you'll likely just feel a small buzz of the drinkI reckon that that buzz will last half an hour…OP could drink slowly to stop the buzz going too high.

I weigh a little more but am a lightweight female drinker, and two standard drinks is my limit for a buzz that doesn't suck. So one double (that is what my homemade drinks usually measure) or two if we are out. Always bracketed by at least a pint of water before and after.
Though if I am hungry, less than one. So as long as you are eating you should be fine.
Strawberry Daiquiri usually is a pretty awful drink at restaurants though, not involving any actual strawberries.
