How many shots of Vodka does it take for an average person to get drunk?!


Question: I'm very curious of how many shots it would take for someone to get drunk. Because i've seen people take 15 shots and they still look fine to me and when some other people takes about 9 shots and they are already buzz.

ok.....9...it taks 9

my friend is 60 and it takes her about 9 shots to get the full effect.i dont like vodka it makes me trip real bad.

It depends on how long they have been drinking it . If they've been drinking 15 shots for a while then they are used to it . If they didn't , they'll be dancing monkeys .

A person of average height and weight will take between 3 and 5 shots of vodka to feel intoxicated. 6 will have most people (who aren't heavy drinkers) drunk. Any more than that and you should be wasted.
Go slow...alcohol poisoning is no fun.

depends hom often the person drink. for me 3 shots are enough :)

Its all very personal, it could be in your genes of how many you can handle. also your size really affect how much you can take. its better not to drink though...

Don't drink and drive.
It is very obvious that you have no clue what it means to be legally drunk...enough alcohol to be arrested for.
You seem to think 9 shots is not much.....to a police officer, 9 shots is WAY too much.

You have to remember there is no such thing as an average person. Each person is different, so someone can drink 15 shots and be fine while others take only one shot to get drunk.

obviously it differs from person to person. Factors including body mass, muscle mass: fat mass ratio, amount eaten in the past 24 hours, amount of other alcohol consumed in the past 24 hours etc.

but if you take an average of the 2 guys you mention here i'd say about 10 or 11 shots is the average.

Around 5 or 6 shots.

One important thing to consider here is the amount of time taken to consume the alcohol; If a person drinks 15 shots in 15 hours the average drinker will probably not be drunk since the average human body will eliminate about 1 ounce per hour. However if the heavy seasoned drinker that consumes 15 shots of vodka does this within a 1 hour period they are likely to get wasted.

It depends on how often you drink. I'm a bartender and I drink shots all the time. I can drink about 10 and still work. Others who aren't use to drinking can get drunk with only 5 shots. If you smoke cigs, this can also be a factor of how drunk you can get.
