How many drinks does it take to get you drunk if have never had alcohol before?

The amount of drinks it takes to get drunk can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as body weight, gender, age, and individual tolerance to alcohol. It's important to note that drinking alcohol, especially in excess, can have negative consequences for your health and well-being.

For someone who has never had alcohol before, it's generally recommended to avoid drinking large amounts as it can increase the risk of alcohol poisoning and other adverse effects. It's advisable to start with a low amount and observe how your body reacts.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a "standard drink" is defined as:

- 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters) of beer

- 5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters) of wine

- 1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters) of distilled spirits (e.g., vodka, whiskey)

The NIAAA guidelines recommend that men should consume no more than two drinks per day, while women should limit themselves to one drink per day. These limits are intended to reduce the risk of alcohol-related problems.

If you're unsure about how alcohol will affect you, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
