7-8 shots is a very moderate-high ammount to be drinking if you have problems in the first place... don't judge how much to drink by anyone else cuz everyone is diffrent... try getting like 4, and then give it an hour... if you aren't at a good level (don't push it... atleast til you have more experience with it and your mind gets used to it) then take a couple more....

i used to have the same problem with drinking... then i discovered one day (when id din't have quite as much as i usuallyw ould drink) i was always over doing it... btw, you dont' have to worry about having to like start all over if youw ait an hour after 4 shots... it takes the body an hour to process and rid 1 shot worth of straight alcohol... so in that hour, you've only lost one of the shots.. the other three are still in your system.. the reason i say take 2 more is one to replace the one your body processed already, and another one to kick it up another notch...
