In this article we take a probabilistic look at Hölder's inequality, considering the ratio of terms in the classical Hölder inequality for random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove a central limit theorem for this ratio, which then allows us to reverse the inequality up to a multiplicative constant with high probability. The models of randomness include the uniform distribution on $\ell_p^n$ balls and spheres. We also provide a Berry-Esseen type result and prove a large and a moderate deviation principle for the suitably normalized Hölder ratio.
