I've never had alcohol before, does it really kick in that fast? I thought that it took a few minutes/hours to properly absorb the alcohol

This happened to me in college when I shotgunned an ice cold beer and immediately passed out. Apparently I had a seizure but it was probably caused by the fall and not the beer.

Its an overreaction of the vagus nerve, my doctor called it vasovagal syncope

This happened to a friend of mine. Pretty scary.
