I understand your curiosity about drugs and alcohol. It is pretty common with kids your age.

Let me ask you this-
How often do your parents drink? Does alcoholism run in the family? Are you drinking while you are alone? Do you know what alcoholism is? Please explain what you know.

I work in a hospital where I take care of people who started drinking and smoking early in their life. Look up "ascites" and
"COPD". I have patients who come to the hospital because they cannot even walk to the bathroom because they are so winded. You can smell their diseased lungs when you walk in their room. The people with COPD have smoked, damaged their lungs, and they are often really skinny because they cannot eat a full meal (eating tires them out too much).
Alcoholics are another issue. They've damaged their liver so much that something called "ascites"( uh-site-ees) has occured. This is where a whole bunch of fluid pools up in your waist because your liver can't do it's job. They also have legs and ankles that are very swollen and are hard to walk with.
Recently, I had a guy who went into seizures (which was life-threatening) because he was an alcoholic who didn't get his fill of alcohol that day. They call it delerium tremens. Both alcoholics I am talking about had their blood drawn to examine it. The lab values for many things that help your body function normally (like magnesium for instance) were way off. The organs responsible for cleaning the blood out so you don't die from your own waste were irreversably damaged.

The reason why I am telling you this, is that I see a pattern that I've already seen in the hospital. You are starting young.
You are taking the first step on a journey to land you in the hospital to be in a condition to where you can't even get up to go to the bathroom (and people often poop on themselves. I'm not trying to be gross. I'm trying to let you know so you can make educated choices).

Fill your time with other things instead of damaging yourself. Friends, family, pets, activities. Tell your parents you want to enroll in something besides school, so you can have some real fun.

Straight vodka, with no chaser, and you only weigh 110, Thats what I weigh, but I drink...I wouldn't drink too much if I was you....You'll stand up and fall over!

1 pint?

Well, since your under aged I won't tell you anything, stop drinking.

We learned about that in health.
You just have to wait a little while before its all throughout your blood stream and what not. Since you're small you don't have a very large amount of blood so it'll take way less to get you drunk than it would someone that was 200 lbs.

Its not an immediate effect, or maybe you're just good at holding liquor =]

you shouldn't smoke and drink at your age.

well first if u drink and smoke a the same time, thats real bad, its gets u drunker quicker and u get really really sick from it, i smoked and drank at the same time and didnt even drink that much but i was throwing up so much after, so if ur drinking alone id say about 3-5 shots but if ur smoking with it 2 or 3 would be enough

You need to be careful in mixing the two, especially if you're a newbie. Get to know one first before attempting to mix smoking _ _ _ _ and drinking hard liquor. If three gulps didn't do it for you, maybe four...but take it easy, work your way into it gradually.

2 shot will not get you drunk!! Why do you want to get drunk anyhow it is not as fun as it looks.... Plus your smoking pot!! Your parents must be proud!! What is the matter with you kids now a days drinking, smoking pot sex!! Thumbs down here they come!!

get some red bull, mix about a half a can with two shots. drink the first two like kool-aid on a hot day, then sip on a third. That should be enough to get a buzz.

not alot for you little girl i would say three four shots to get feeling the effects, trust me i been there it's fun with freinds but not worth it

yea id say like 2-3 shots should at least get u buzzed. im only like 130 lbs and that will get me a little buzzed. lol i love being irish. i out drink my 180 lb friends

Drunkenness depends on how much alcohol you drink and in what amount of time.

2 drinks for a skinny person should at least give them a decent buzz.

If you drink more than 4 in one hour, watch out.

For every one hour you've been drinking, you can subtract one drink. So if you've been drinking for 1 hour, and you've had 4 drinks, it's like you have 3 drinks in you.

For a skinny person 3 drinks should be the maximum. But you've just started drinking (in life) so 2 drinks should probably be the maximum.

Be aware. Drunkenness can creep up on you. And if you go overboard you could get awfully sick. It takes a lot of drinking for that to happen, but when you're young it's easy to get caught up in the moment and put back 10 drinks like "that".

p.s. 1 shot = 1 drink... you can easily be drinking doubles and triples if you're not measuring them

How about you stay away from it and the smokes until you are at least 18or more. If your are sipping on the vodka regularly and has no effect, you are heading to alcoholism. Be careful.
