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 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!! (:

    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 or a club 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 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.

    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.

    Two is probably also OK. Three is pushing it.

    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.

    Edit: my 2c is that you’ll be drunk on two unless you really spread them out. Take small sips and use the buzz rule. They tend to be reasonably potent.
