First time trying Jägermeister – how many shots till tipsy?

So I’m planning to try Jägermeister for the first time tonight. I’ll be having a light meal beforehand, but I’m curious how strong this stuff actually hits.

For those of you who’ve had it before: how many shots did it take for you to start feeling tipsy or straight-up drunk? I know tolerance varies, but I’d love to hear your experiences so I have a rough idea of what to expect.

I’m also curious how everyone paces their drinks. Do you usually go with something like a shot every 15 minutes, or spread them out longer?

I’m aiming for a good buzz but don’t want to overdo it too fast.
