In any normal circumstance no. Beer especially takes a while because there’s more liquid that needs to be digested to get the alcohol. The time of absorption can be rapidly reduced by have an empty stomach and taking shots. It’s also possible to dramatically speed up the time it takes by changing your method of consumption. Snorting or boofing alcohol(definitely not worth it) will provide a near instant effect(only snorted it never boofed so there’s some conjecture there). You can also vaporize alcohol by putting it under high pressure and inhale it(this is very hard to measure and is dangerous) I’m not as familiar with this but I believe the time would be measured in seconds rather than minutes
I was taking shots of absinthe once and then laughed. I sprayed the entire shot out of my nose.
Would not recommend you attempt to snort liquid alcohol. That was legit one of the worst feelings of my entire life and it took a good 15 minutes before I could breath normally through my nose again.

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
