How much red wine does it take to get drunk?

Question

I am a 15 year old male that weighs about 110 lbs. I don't have much fat in my body either. Last night, while eating a tenderloin, I had 3 glasses of red wine. And then another glass after the loins. This was over the span of about 1.5-2 hours. By the 3rd glass, I was feeling a rushing feeling whenever I move my head. And the 4th glass made my head feel heavy? I was still in control of myself but was more free-spirited and stumbled more. This morning, I remembered basically everything and didn't have any hangovers, just hungryness. I suppose that is the "buzzed" stage. If I was to keep on going, how many more glasses do you think would it take to get me drunk drunk? I don't drink often by the way.

3-4 glasses in 5 minutes will probably get you pretty drunk. At 3 over 1.5-2 hours, you were floating a buzz of about 1.5 glasses the whole time.

Your body metabolizes alcohol from about 1 drink/hour, and food reduces its effectiveness as well.

For me, drunk drunk is 8-10 in half an hour, but I'm twice your size and have some experience drinking.

Once you start stumbling, that is a bit more than buzzed.  One more glass of that red wine would have put you in the early drunk stage, 2 more glassed and you may not have remembered much of anything.

You were more drunk than you realized.  Drunk people always think they they're in control.
