First, you have to define "Immediately". As in instantly? Within a few minutes? To both of these I say no. Type/size of drink, gender, size, age, physical condition, hydration level, medication/illicit drug ingestion, stomach content, and several other factors add to making this "a too simple a question" to accurately answer.

Impairment does begin quickly--generally speaking. We pass our mental tolerance level WAY before we reach our physical tolerance level (when we "feel" the alcohol effect). We begin to become a risk to self and others when we pass this mental tolerance level. The average person is likely to cross their mental tolerance level at .03 BAC. This is little more than a 5% by volume beer.

There are many online studies published that can give more and better detailed answers. Good luck.

How long after adolescents begin using alcohol do they show impairment in cognitive functions?

Adolescents can show impairment in cognitive functions shortly after beginning to use alcohol, with effects typically becoming noticeable after just one to two drinks. This impairment can impact things like decision-making, memory, and concentration, and may worsen with continued use. Regular alcohol use during adolescence may also have long-term effects on brain development and cognitive abilities.

How can you tell if someone has alcohol poisoning?

If a person smells of alcohol, is unconscious, and cannot be roused, you must assume alcohol poisoning. To do otherwise is to take serious chances with that person's life. Turn them on their side to prevent them from inhaling vomit if they throw up, and then call the paramedics. If they stop breathing, begin support breathing. If there is no pulse, begin and continue CPR until the medics arrive, regardless of how long it takes.
