Cirrhosis takes a few years. Just keep drinking.

If it takes you until shot 5 to feel it, then you are an alcoholic and should stop.

Spoiler

shot 5 for me

 

[Boem]

I feel so, so old right now.

 

[disappeared]

A single shot?

...Never? I mean, alcohol's effects are cumulative. I highly doubt you'd feel much, if anything, from one shot. Add a couple more, in quick succession, and you'll start to feel a buzz. Although sometimes the buzz people feel after one drink is purely mental.

There's no succession to it unless you're in a group of people who want to binge or unless you're a fellow at the bar ordering one after another. Alcohol hitting your guts is the same as for it as with anybody. Eating is the only thing that changes it up. There;s the ones who have more tolerance but that's likely cuz they drink several nights a week.

Are you drinking beer with your shots? I'd feel it after the 5th shot but that's normally cos it'd be the 5th pint too. (I'm Scottish we drink cos it's the only thing to do around here)

People checking on status mere seconds after they do something.

You are already dead.

 

[notaskwid]

You done goofed up OP.

 

[Spuck-uk]

Why would you drink a shot of vodka unless you are at a binge drinking party? In which case you should probably have some idea of the answer to your question?

If you were russian and the day has a Y in it.

 

[Captain Smoker]

Depends.

A single shot wouldn't bother me at all if I'm in a good mood.

Other days I drink a beer and I feel tipsy. (but 0,50 l of beer are roughly two vodka shots of alcohol)


4 cl of Vodka are roughly 16 mg of alcohol, which shouldn't affect you normally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

 

[rocketskates]

Wait

Are you serious OP

How about you fucking try it for yourself, this isn't Yahoo Answers.

Wait I bet you're 21 or under hence the lack of thinking for yourself.

 

[UnluckyKate]

It's about how fast your stomach will process alcohol.

If you had a good meal, it will be 30 minutes to an hour before you absorb liquor in your blood.

If you are drinking on an empty stomach, it can be less than 30 minutes.

Also, a single shot won't do much by your weight.

A couple and you will start feeling it.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Instant reaction from me, that reaction being be puking.

 

[Tenck]

It always sneaks up on me. Usually 3 shots and I wait it out for a few minutes.

 

[Übermatik]

I'm sorry, but why the fuck does GAF talk up alcohol so much? I know the drinking age in the US is quite a bit higher than here in the UK, and there's possibly less social/frequent drinkers(?) but acting like a single shot of Vodka is a big deal? And advising a max of 3? Whaaaaaa? Most of the talk in this thread is tame as fuck, and I'm a skinny 11 stone runt.

*EDIT* And now we're talking timings and blood alcohol content? You gonna do some quick caluclations before that order from the bar? Fuck me.

 

[Raiden]

my ass took 7-14 shots of vodka

3 full glasses of wine

a bit of coke

2 full cups of beer and I'm holding myself together

Love how you casually throw in coke.


You can drink a bottle of wodka and then do coke and feel fine.

 

[Chuckie]

Depends if you drink it or soak a tampon in it and insert it in your arse

 

[quesalupa]

Just chug out of the bottle until your feelings tell you it's time to stop.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

I downed most of a bottle of Hornitos last night for boilermakers, and wasn't even close to being drunk by the time I was done. All depends on your tolerance really.

It's a reference to another GAFer

You can do a shot with co-workers without going on a binge. Get out of your house and talk to physical people every once in a while. Jesus.

You'll be fine OP. A shot is pretty much equivalent to drinking a pint. If you're feeling dizzy, chill out for a bit and drink some water or take a cab or uber/lyft. It was a single shot.


Oh god. Here's a good rule of thumb. If you're driving, you can have a single drink. A beer, a shot, or a drink with a single shot in it. After that, don't drive. Your post came across as you trying to reason to yourself why you should be able to drive. Don't. Just don't.

Edit: I don't give a shit how big you are or how you can do 4 shots and be fine. One drink. After that, take a cab/uber/lyft. End of discussion on my end.

A single shot is 0.4 ounces of alcohol. A pint of beer is 1 ounce of alcohol. Big difference.
