I'm 5 foot 8..and im 125 pounds so im pretty skinny. Also, i haven't drank much before either. I know it all depends on a number of things like your age, how much youve eaten etc. but could you give me an approximation of when i would become tipsy..then like full blown out drunk if i drank whiskey with a 40% alcohol percentage. like how many cups?? or shots?? or w/e..and how big are shots?

Hi--since you're asking, I assume you don't have much experience drinking. In general, weight is the most important factor in determining how much will get you drunk, though acquired tolerance would make a difference as well.
If you're an inexperienced drinker (i.e. low tolerance), you would definitely feel a single shot of 40% alcohol whiskey (i.e. 80 proof). Two shots and you would certainly be "tipsy," with lowered inhibitions, a "buzzed" feeling in your head, some loss of balance, etc. Three or more shots, and you're likely getting into slurring speech/dizziness/nausea territory. If you're going to experiment with alcohol, do it at home (not at a bar) with a friend or family member who's an experienced drinker to keep you from having more than you can handle.

OKAY WITH YOUR INFO GIVEN YOU SOUND AS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY EXPERIENCED IN DRINKING. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GONNA DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO, NOT CONDONING WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, YOUR WEIGHT HAS A LOT DO DO WITH IT, SO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRINKING, YOU WILL FEEL THE EFFECTS AFTER THE FIRST SHOT, SECOND SHOT YOU WILL FEEL TINGLY AND A LITTLE LIGHT-HEADED, IF YOU GO FURTHER THAN THAT YOU MAY START LOSING CONTROL OF ALL OF YOUR SENSES. IF YOU ARE DRINKING WITH FRIENDS JUST PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND LEARN YOUR LIMIT BECAUSE YOU CAN GET INTO A WHOLE LOTTA PROBLEMS WHEN YOU DRINK-AT ANY AGE MUCH LESS AN INEXPERIENCED AGE. PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

One shot of whisky would get you tipsy, Id say 5 should be enough to get you flow blown drunk

You're light ... you should get punched out in a hurry. Assuming an empty stomach, just a couple of 50ml shots of the 40% stuff should have you seeing triple.

your body metaolizes approx 1 shot of liqour or 1 12 oz beer or 1 4 oz glass wine every hour
i would guess you will blow .08 on two drinks so you need to either have only 1 or wait two hours before needing sobriety

You can slam down a one-ounce jigger and get smashed that fast, especially if you have had nothing to eat.
The alcohol can be absorbed right through your esophagus

4-6 beers will probably get you drunk enough.
Im 5'5 112 lbs and I had 3 beers, 2 shots, and didnt even eat and I felt nothing, so It just depends on the person.

It depends what you drink. If your counting Fridays or one of those kind of places cut your limit to half because they make their drinks EXTRA stong the first time...
