That depends on who you are, how often you drink, what you're drinking and what you have eaten. If you're not used to drinking, and have had nothing to eat then you will get 'tiddly' very quickly from alcohol (within 30 minutes) however if you drink often and/or have eaten a hearty meal then you will need to drink more any wait longer before you feel the effect.
Alcohol can have an "effect" within seconds if it is taken parenterally (in the vein). In children (and teens) alcohol begins absorption in the mouth and is in the blood stream within minutes. Large amounts of alcohol can begin depressing breathing within 10 -15 minutes and will last until it is completely absorbed from the gut and is subsequently detoxified by the liver.
Alcohol begins to enter the bloodstream and affect all the organs of the body within three to five minutes of ingestion. Because it is only partially absorbed in the stomach, and primarily through the small intestine, the effects build over a period of about 20 minutes.
That is why it is possible to chug two or three beers and feel little initially, but get progressively more drunk afterward.
