Is 10 shot glasses enough to be completely drunk?

10 of the plastic shot glasses you get in Tesco?

I can’t these days - half a glass of wine and I’m pissed.

Mmm interesting thread about your daughter after yesterday about your son

I thought that.

But no, ten shots of vodka wouldn’t have me horrifically drunk. The glasses you get from supermarkets (if they’re the kind I’m picturing) aren’t huge at all.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 04/03/2019 21:00

I just remembered - measures are larger in Scotland 😁

Pols83 · 04/03/2019 21:28

She's 19

Not sure why it's an odd thread Mumsnet told me not to talk about my other thread I was just asking a question

Because there is no answer 10 shots could kill one person but leave another barely feeling the effects

The question is why don’t you believe your daughter?

LovingLola · 04/03/2019 21:49

Was it neat vodka did she say?

Wolfiefan · 04/03/2019 21:51

10 shots is a binge and not a sensible way to drink.
Not sure how this relates to earlier thread.

Bluntness100 · 04/03/2019 21:57

What's the issue here? She's 19, an adult, and said she felt fine? Exactly why are you asking fandoms on the internet and how does their opinions. Count versus your own adult child who can drink as much or as little as she pleases?

Frlrlrubert · 04/03/2019 22:03

The little Tesco ones are 25ml, so equivalent to just under four pints of beer or a bottle of wine. Over three hours that's like a pint or a small glass of wine every 45 mins.

I could have managed that and been 'merry' at 19 (uni drinking culture). We'd drink a bottle of wine each before we went out!

I'd be pissed these days though.

Rtmhwales · 04/03/2019 22:09

When I was nineteen and drank often I could drink 8 shots of tequila with no major effort. Now, one knocks me on my ass. Is she drinking quite frequently lately?

StereophonicallyChallenged · 04/03/2019 22:20

I don't drink vodka anymore as I just don't feel the effects until the morning 🤢 so yes, I'd be fine after 10 of those little plastic shot glasses on a full stomach. By fine, I mean not slurring or falling down, I'd still be pissed though.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 04/03/2019 22:35

Why do you need to ask? She's an adult who live away from you. If she was totally drunk you would've been able to tell when she told you, so she clearly isn't.

In general though, different drinks have different strengths and effects and different people react to them differently. I rarely drink but can have several Sambuca shots and just be happy (and possibly a bit dafter then usual) but give me a glass or two of red wine with a meal and I'll be slurring way before dessert arrives!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 04/03/2019 22:37

*away not way. No, I have not had any red wine 😂

Gingerkittykat · 04/03/2019 23:45

In my young days I could have easily drank that amount and been slightly drunk and been able to wake up fresh as a daisy after a few hours sleep.

Now it would probably leave me unconscious.

GallicosCats · 04/03/2019 23:49

Reminds me of this little ditty:

I've never been much of a drinker -
I can take one or two at the most.
Three gets me under the table
And four gets me under the host.

Depends on body mass really. If your DD happens to be 7ft tall and built like a larger rugby player then probably not.

I would be out cold though.

siestakey · 04/03/2019 23:54

@Pols83 omg it's you, the child abuser.

10 shots is a lot. Maybe she binge drinks due to the trauma of being beaten as a child?

theworldistoosmall · 04/03/2019 23:55

Nothing to do with body mass. When I was drinking, I would easily do 10 shots vodka, whisky or tequila over 3 hours and be fine. I was 5ft 3 and around 7 stone.

Areyouongluedear · 04/03/2019 23:55

Do you mean those little plastic coloured party shot glasses? They’re tiny! I think 3/4 of those is a normal sized shot for me so no 10 of those wouldn’t do much to me.

10 normal shots now I’d definitely be tipsy.

Bluntness100 · 05/03/2019 16:52

It is to do with body mass, but that's not the whole story, it's also to do with tolerance Levels, how much you've eaten, how tired you are, many things,
