How much does it take to get drunk if you have never had alcohol before in your life?

It usually doesn't take much for most people. Keep in mind that 1.5 ounces of liquor has roughly the same amount of alcohol as 12 ounces of beer. Eat a light meal. Start by drinking drinks that are low in alcohol such as beer. Drink slowly (one drink per hour). Only drink two or three drinks at the most. If you drink three shots, etc., that's three small amounts, and it's still a lot of alcohol. DO NOT DRIVE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOU WILL REACT UNTIL YOU'VE HAD ALCOHOL A FEW TIMES. ALSO, MAKE SURE AT LEAST ONE SOBER (NOT DRINKING AT ALL) PERSON (PREFERABLY TWO OR THREE PEOPLE) IS WATCHING YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING ILLEGAL, DANGEROUS, EMBARASSING, OR REGRETFUL. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE DESIGNATED PEOPLE TO MAKE SURE YOU GET HOME SAFELY, TAKE CARE OF YOU IF YOU GET SICK, AND DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH.

For someone about 150 pounds, two drinks in two hours would probably make you legally drunk (.08 blood alcohol level). It doesn't take much alcohol at all to make you legally drunk, and alcohol stays in your system for hours before it is all gone.
