21st birthday soon, advice please!

hi my 21st birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and in the US that means i can finally drink soon! i want some advice. i’ll be 21f, weigh 135 pounds (61kg), and 5 foot 1 inch tall (165cm).

how can i drink either vodka shots or wine to a level around tipsy/drunk but not fucked up or have a bad hangover? i plan to drink lots and lots of water after because i hear that helps, and i was thinking maybe start off with a small fat/protein snack and 2 shots and wait it out 45 mins before doing any more?

also bonus, what does tipsy/drunk feel like? i heard dizzy warm and happy, and those all sound great haha

thanks!!
