    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.)

      Considering your mass and (presumed) low tolerance, I would estimate that you'd notice the effect, but without getting drunk. Slightly tipsy, maybe. This assumes that it's mixed to standard drink strength.

        4 to 6 should be enough to get you going nice, just spread them out a d drink water when you remember.

          Assuming it’s a standard drink it would take roughly two for you to be past the legal limit for driving.

          Since you don’t drink at all you’ll be tipsy from one.

          The problem with any mixed drink is you don’t know how heavy the pour is.

            No. A small woman who has effectively zero experience with liquor should not drink 4 to 6 daiquiris in public in one night. I wouldn't even suggest she go above 3 without a chaperone

              I'd say if they're a lightweight (literally and figuratively) then two should probably be the max, and if you want a third get a glass of water or two before you get that last drink.

              I'm a big guy, but I don't drink much either and I'd definitely be buzzed after two drinks.

                  If you’re nervous, you can ask the bartender/server to put in half the alcohol when preparing the drink. That’s what I do because I get the asian flush, so I can drink “more”.

                    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.

                      This is really bad advice, though I don't think you meant any harm.

                        Entirely depends on the amount of spirits they use, and the size. If you're just wanting to test the water, don't be afraid to ask them to make it weak, there's no shame and no one will judge. And drink slowly.

                          1 shot = 1 beer.

                          Assume 1 hr to process 1 shot. That doesn’t mean you can drive an hour after you finish your drink.

                          You can ask for it to be made “virgin” and it will just be a tasty smoothee.

                          You can ask for a soda or tonic water to be put into any glass of your choice to fit in socially if you want. You can ask for a non-alcoholic mixed drink or even beer. N/a beer has come a long way.

                            "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.

                              Rough guess here, 2 may get you tipsy. 4 or more will probably push you to drunk.

                              Quick advice if you want to slow things down, a glass of water between drinks is a great way to pace yourself.

                                  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.

                                      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.

                                          "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.

                                          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.
