The first impression is pretty strong, but I can see how it can change if the person starts reasoning it out and finding more details about that person.
Like say the person which you met for the first time was slightly intoxicated. You would first say "yeah, he is a really funny and outgoing guy. The life of the party." Then a few months passed, or perhaps a few hours even. The guy the sobers up and you guys start chatting. Find out he is, let's say, an artist and college student, but he also complains about how his parents are always nagging him to do something else in life. Then he says it's always been like that and that's why his girlfriend left him or something. But he also says he has good friends named Jane and John who support him.
Then if asked again, you would say "Oh, well yeah. He's a pretty fun guy. Though he has his share of problem too. Might be why he likes to come to parties and drink."
So yeah. I think an impression, first or otherwise would change. By how much? Personally, I don't think by that much. Even by impact, I think it would change, but not by that much.
