Okay, you left the church. That is not a licence to break the law or harm yourself.
Measuring alcohol by the "gulp" or cup- OOPS. A "serving" is often called a "shot," or 1.5 OUNCES. Experienced drinkers sometimes "down" a (ONE) shot, then either make a scrinchy face, say, "ahhhhhh....." or sometimes both. The single shot is sometimes followed with a "chaser," a beverage to help any burning stop, and dilute the alcolhol in the stomach for the same reason.
Then some time passes, and maybe they have another shot and chaser.
Many consider it easier and tastier to make a "cocktail," or alcohol mixed with non-alcoholic beverages, flavors, syrups and/or seasonings. These are also called "mixed drinks." It also helps pace consumption, because the serving of alcohol is diluted, and it takes longer to drink than downing a shot.
Young, inexperienced drinkers can poison themselves (to death) because they drink too much too quickly. They don't wait for the "buzz" to start before having a second helping, then more, and they can end up unable to seek help. Or, their friends don't realize they are in medical trouble.
How much you ingest is about alcohol content (proof) and body metabolism..

Don't forget the smart. There is no reason to gulp alcohol straight from the bottle. Others may disagree, but it's a good way to hurt yourself (like you did).
And if you want to try something else that's risky, come here first and ask how it's done.
