As someone who’s never drunk a full thing of it besides a beer once at around 18(?), I can say I have never gotten drunk before. I’ve also had some sips but definitely not drunk.

I want to try actually having some alcohol besides that beer since I’m drinking age in the United States (I’m 23). I decided I would order a daiquiri for dinner with my girlfriend.

(If this helps, I’m 135 pounds, 5’6, and female.)

Entirely depends on the amount of spirits they use, and the size. If you're just wanting to test the water, don't be afraid to ask them to make it weak, there's no shame and no one will judge. And drink slowly.
