I am drinking for the first time this weekend?

Any tips? Should I just have one beer? Is that a good amount? I am 5'4 and ~120 pounds. How drunk will that make me?

1) getting drunk doesn't impress anyone, 2) are you driving? 3) Is the person who is driving going to be drinking? 4) If you will be drinking and bring the alcohol to the party or event, realize 1 open bottle of beer in the car makes the driver and all passengers guilty of an offense under the law. I'm not trying to say don't drink but I am saying if you choose to, be safe and realize guys who don't drink aren't teased about it like people think. I've been out with many of my friends and I never drank anything but coke. No one had an issue and we all had a good time. REAL friends respect your decisions to drink or not to and how much.

My parents are dropping me off and three-and-a-half hours later they're picking me up. I am only planning to have a beer at maximum, and it takes the body approximately 1.5 hours to process one drink, so I should be fine.

Only thing I am worried about is whether my parents will be able to tell from my breath, etc.

Make sure you have trusted friends around you that can really keep an eye out for you. If you can, it's better to drink at home just in case anything happens. It's hard to tell what your limit is.. height and weight won't cut it alone, but generally you have low tolerance at the beginning, so try not to drink too much and definitely not too fast.

As I asked, should one beer be okay?

[Buwwy]

I doubt one beer would even make you drunk, which kind of defeats the purpose of drinking in the first place. It doesn't really taste great in my opinion.

If you are new at drinking you will have a low tolerance for it and should not drink too much. When you are experienced at drinking you can have a little more.
