How much can a 100 lb girl handle?
I’m starting my first semester at a college that’s known for being a party school. Parties are super common, and I know I’ll be going to them fairly often. I’ve never really drunk heavily before — just moderate drinking with my parents or occasionally with friends. I’ve had beer, wine, vodka, seltzers, champagne, etc., but always in small amounts. I’ve never gotten drunk or even tipsy.
I’m about 5’5″ and around 100 pounds. I was wondering how much alcohol someone of my size and experience could typically handle before getting drunk or feeling it. And how much alcohol could get me drunk. I know tolerance is different for everyone, but I’d really appreciate some general advice or personal experiences from people who started out in a similar place.
I’m not trying to become an alcoholic or do anything reckless. I just want to build an understanding of my limits over the next few months before I start going out, so I don’t end up blacking out at my first real party.
If anyone has advice on how to slowly build tolerance or test limits safely (maybe during pre-games or with trusted friends), I’d love to hear it. Tips for staying in control and knowing when to stop are welcome too.
TL;DR: Starting at a big party school soon. I’m 5’5″, 100lb, never been drunk before. Want to learn my limits and build some tolerance before the semester starts. Looking for advice on how much I could probably handle and how to ease into drinking safely.
