So I’m 17, I’m 5′6, Asian, and I weight about 130 pounds. I will eat dinner about 4 hours before I take the shot so I should be relatively “not hungry.” I’m just going to take a regular shot glass. My roommate told me to take a sip of gatorade afterwards as a “chaser.”
I’ve never had a shot before. The only alcohol I’ve drank in my life were a few sips of rice wine, Dubonnett (19% alcohol), and a mixed drink of Vodka, Cranberry juice, and Lemon.
Do you think one shot, where I will just chug it all down in one gulp quickly, will be enough to make me drunk or “tipsy?”
Oh, believe it or not, I did discuss it with my parents, LOL! Um my parents are very realistic and they know I'm a responsible kid (I mean I did tell them that I would like to dry a shot of vodka at school…) and they heavily recommended against it. However, they're just really concerned cause I've never drank much before except when my parents let me have a few sips of wine. They gave me a big lecture about getting drunk and all, and I have to admit I just got a bit concerned that's all. I'm not much of a drinker and I don't want to get drunk, but I would like to "try" a shot at one point or another. And I really don't want to wait til I'm 21 =\

Yes, one shot can make you drunk. Does your Mother know you are going to be drinking?

NO I did bartending school and worked as a bartender and never heard of ANYONE no matter what their weight was gettign drunk from one shot of liquor.
It takes 30 mins for the alcohol to flow thru your system and one shot is what they put in any cocktail, the cocktail would just water it down a bit

i think two will make you tipsy. 5-7 shots will make you drunk to where you cant remember stuff.

If you’re a lightweight. I’m a big man, and by god it takes a lot to even get me buzzed…
8 Amy // Sep 17, 2008
It would be really pathetic if you could.
9 ItsWittgensteinMiss // Sep 17, 2008
Not very likely at all.
Perhaps just a small buzz, maybe a little tipsy, if you’re not a regular drinker and a real lightweight, but certainly not drunk.
Well, maybe if you were three.
Enjoy =)

It all depends on the vodka you choose. I will not tell you more b/c you are 17.
Drink a Shirley temple ask fo extra grenadine or a red-bull on the rocks you’ll be loaded on the sugar and full of energy. If it is the taste your after, have a Virgin sex on the beach”orange and cranberry mixed”

Nope, not at all. Well, maybe “tipsy”, that’s a pretty broad categorization.
But if you’ve had other drinks before and not gotten drunk off them, you won’t get drunk of this. Vodka is only a bit more than twice as alcoholic as the Dubonnett you had (how you drink it doesn’t matter at all), and depending on how your fake Cosmo was made, it could have been much stronger than a shot of vodka.
The thing is, though, shots are like girlfriends, you can never have just one.
12 Alex A // Sep 17, 2008
yes it will get you at least faded but to be drunk or tipsy…
take on 2 or 3 shots boy!
what are you drinking anyways?
how much percent alchohol does it have?
and be aware… its gonna taste like the worse thing in your life if it is absoulut vodka!!!

It depends on your weight (I weigh about 160), one's tolerance, what if anything have you been drinking and the quality of the vodka. It once took half a pint of Smirnoff to get me a buzz, but I prefer Monopolwa, Nemiroff and Finlandia.
PS at your age I would advise you to stop drinking before it becomes a problem.

well i typically don’t condone drinking before age 18. i figure you shoudl be out of high school before you try it. thats how i did it and it worked perfectly. great graduation present *hic*. but one shot seems harmless enough. i might ask though, why do you feel the need to drink a shot at all? can’t you make yourslef a little cocktail? straight liquor feels like fire in your mouth. the only people who drink straight liquor either have no tastebuds, are trying to lose their tastebuds, or are complete alcoholics who don’t care what it tastes like anymore.
one shot of vodka, best combined with orange juice, will give you a good buzz most likely.
