Can I handle one shot of tequila?

Question

I'm turning 21 this week. I've never had alcohol up to now. My friends want me to have one shot of tequila straight-up for my birthday.

Can I get drunk from that, considering I've never had a drink? (I'm 6'2" and 220 lbs.) Will I be sick to my stomach afterwards? Thanks!

Tequila is good. Many people love the taste of tequila. Personally I wouldn't drink bad tequila. Only 100% Agave is considered real tequila. Lower quality is decent for mixed drinks. Depends on how fast you drink it. Consider one shot of tequila the equivalent of a beer or wine cooler. Drink a shot at the same rate that you would drink beer and you'll get about the same effect. If you get a buzz off two beers in an hour then drink two shots of tequila in an hour. If four beer gets you drunk over a 4 hour period then drink four shots, one per hour. Based on your inexperience and perspective and the fact that you will be drinking low quality tequila, you won't like it at all. A good low-cost tequila is Jose Cuervo 1800 Reposado. 100% Agave and about $28 per bottle. Lower cost is lower quality. Proper way is to cut limes in wedges, with a little salt. Most people lick the back of their hand (base of thumb) , pour some salt on the wet spot, shoot the shot of tequila, lick the salt then suck the lime. Just like a good beer or wine, tequila is an acquired taste. Flavor and quality range all over the place. Even among fine tequila there is considerable flavor differences.

Doubtful. 1 oz (a shot) of tequila, which is usually around 35% alcohol by volume, is not enough to get you drunk. It will however pack a nice starting buzz, so if you're not sure how alcohol works on your body, dont let your b-day be commemorated over the toilet. Go slowly, no more than 2 shots/drinks per hour.

Also, drink plenty of water to avoid any nasty surprises in the morning. Tequila can hit hard!

Answer 4

From my experiences people usually go for the tequila purely to binge, and for the thrill of the lick shot suck. If you're new to tequila, the worst thing you can do is take a shot every time the rest of the group does.. if you're one to fall into peer pressure.. start the night by telling someone you trust that you'll do every second round of shots. Its more to pace out the time between the drinks so you have time to register that you're getting drunk (or sick) than anything else.

Answer 5

Tequila was my first drink. You can get drunk from tequila, very drunk and if you are like some people I know you will love the world or start fights. You won't get drunk from one shot but you will get a buzz, especially if this is your first drink.

A little bit of advice if you're drinking tequila don't mix it with other stuff. Mixing one kind of alcohol with another can mess you up good.

Answer 6

Judging from numbers, yes you can handle it. Some people are actually allergic so wait twenty or thirty minutes to see how it effects your body. If you feel like it was a smooth start, take one or two more shots. Wait a little while before you move on. The key is finding a good level man.

Enjoy and Happy Birthday.

Before bed a bottle of water, in the morning no hang overs.

Answer 7

You sound like a big guy, 1 shot (even with your low tolerance) won't put a hurtin on you, 4 or 5 extra shots, you will probably be feeling pretty good. Go into the night with a full stomach, hydrated, and pace yourself...you should be fine, happy birthday, hope you have a good one!

Answer 8

Hard to tell. Judging by your size, I'd lean towards no - you may have a slight buzz, however. Barring allergies to alcohol or an utter dislike of the taste (which, though pungent, isn't repulsive), it's equally doubtful you'll be sick. One shot of tequila or really any spirit is roughly equivalent to a pint of beer.

Answer 10

I highly doubt you would get drunk, i am sure having never had an alcoholic beverage before and taking a shot of a fairly strong liquor that you will feel it somewhat....
make sure your not on an empty stomach, and it depends on how the liquor settles in your stomach...i can't have southern comfort, one shot i puke, but i can down all the vodka and whiskey i want and i never get sick, it all depends on what your body can handle.

Answer 11

you are not going to get drunk off one shot, but if you have never had alcohol before tequila is going to be hard to get down your throat and you will probably gag. my best advice is to lick some salt, and just open your throat and pour, try not to let it touch your tongue, then stuff a lime in your mouth. it will likely be most unpleasant, but trust me, you will grow to like it eventually.

get sh*tfaced and have fun. make sure you take lots of pictures and embarrass the hell out of yourself. it's more fun that way. don't be inhibited. just do it all and try it all.
