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.)

    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.
