Did I really get drunk off two sips of vodka?
Okay, so this is my first time ever drinking alcohol and I need to know if I was actually drunk/tipsy or if my brain was just playing tricks on me.
Here’s the situation:
I’m pretty underweight for my age (18, 110 lbs).
The only thing I had eaten the whole day was medium Chick-fil-A fries.
The alcohol was Smirnoff (one sip of the regular one and one sip of Smirnoff Pink Lemonade).
I drank water immediately right after both sips bc it was absolutely disgusting and I needed something to wash it down.
After first sip, I felt a little off balance and strange but I thought maybe it was placebo. The second sip made me feel more “weird,” but I was still mostly myself.
Then I walked with my friend to his dorm (like a 20 minute walk), and this is when it fully hit me:
I couldn’t walk straight, kept leaning and stumbling, and tripped over nothing. I tried to do a “sobriety test” walking straight and could not… I was leaning and stumbling so bad.
My speech was slow, high-pitched, stuttery, and I couldn’t stop talking nonsense. I was saying the most nonsensical things and stuttering so terribly. It’s like it all hit during the walk.
I professed how much I loved my friend and how much he meant to me… I’m still so embarrassed cause I was really going on and on…
On the walk back to the petty, I started feeling like I was sobering up.. it took a while but eventually I felt like myself again and could actually control what I was saying, and my speech was fixed.
After I sobered up back at the party:
To sort of “test”, I did straight again like I did before and this time I walked perfectly straight… so I think I got tipsy just off two sips.
For comparison, my friend had a little more alcohol than me (half a cup, 2 sips) and mostly just felt physical effects like warmth and racing heart, but didn’t get tipsy or stumble.
So… did I really get drunk/tipsy off just two sips? Or is this normal for a first-time? I’m so embarrassed but also fascinated 😭 is it possible bc man I did not feel like myself but idk if it was placebo or not
