How likely is a strawberry daiquiri to get me drunk? I’ve only had alcohol once and that was one beer. (lemmy.ml)

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.)

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.
