                                According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a standard drink contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is the amount found in a 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof tequila. Whether two of these shots are enough to cause intoxication depends heavily on individual variables, not just the quantity consumed.
