How strong is vodka to get drunk?

Question by : How strong is vodka when it comes to getting drunk?
As in alcoholic strength. For the average person, how much vodka would it take to get tipsy? This is coming from a person who isn’t that experienced with drinking and just likes beer.

Answer by Norm
Here’s the formula:

One 12 ounce can of beer = one 1 1/2 ounce shot of vodka

So a 12-pack of beer is roughly one pint of vodka

If you have to drink three beers to start to get tipsy, you’d have to drink three shots of vodka, which isn’t much at all by comparison.

    ok, so if water and shandy are roughly the strength of a four year old and absenthe is about the strength of chuck norris
    vodka is probably roughly around the arnold schwarzanigger mark.
    lol

    vodka is usually between 40-80% depending on the quality of what you get.

    but think of it this way one shot of vodka is about the strength of 10 shots of beer
    in one shot is 1.5 ounces and since a pint is 16 ounces and there are approximately 10.5 shots in a pint
    so in one shot is just under a pint of beer (depending on the strength of that brand)

    unflavored vodka is always 35-40% (normally 40%) Flavored vodkas generally are 25-35% Alcohol

    It depends on how much the person has eatin and how fast they drink them.

    I have wayyyy too much experience drinking, and I will still feel one or two shots, on an empty stomach.

    Normal size person, With a normal dinner, 4-5 shots will be enough to feel a reaction.
