What is how many shots of vodka to get tipsy?

It's impossible to give a precise number of vodka shots to get tipsy because it varies wildly based on many factors, including:

  • Body Weight: Heavier individuals generally require more alcohol to feel the effects.
  • Sex/Gender: On average, women tend to get tipsy faster than men due to differences in body composition and metabolism.
  • Tolerance: Regular drinkers develop a higher tolerance and need more alcohol to experience the same effects.
  • Metabolism: How quickly your body processes alcohol plays a significant role.
  • Food Intake: Drinking on an empty stomach leads to faster absorption and quicker intoxication.
  • Vodka Strength: Most vodka is 40% ABV (alcohol by volume), but some brands might vary.
  • Shot Size: A standard shot is typically 1.5 ounces (44 ml).

However, as a very rough estimate:

  • For someone with low tolerance, weighing around 150 lbs, 2-3 shots on an empty stomach could lead to feeling tipsy.
  • For someone with higher tolerance, weighing more, and having eaten, it might take 4-6 or more shots.

Important: This is only a very general guideline. It's crucial to drink responsibly, be aware of your limits, and never drink and drive. Getting "tipsy" is also a subjective experience.
