Can you get drunk Baileys?

Answered by Douglas Hiatt

It is possible to get drunk on Baileys, but it may require consuming a larger quantity compared to other stronger spirits. Baileys Irish Cream has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 17%, which is relatively low compared to liquors like vodka or whiskey, which typically have ABVs of 40% or higher. This means that Baileys has a lower alcohol content per volume.

In a full-size bottle of Baileys, there are typically 17 shots of liquor. However, it’s important to note that the size of a “shot” can vary depending on where you are, but it is typically around 1.5 ounces or 44 milliliters.

To start feeling slightly intoxicated, it may take around 3-4 shots of Baileys for some individuals. This can vary depending on factors such as body weight, tolerance, and personal metabolism. Keep in mind that alcohol affects everyone differently, so it’s important to drink responsibly and know your limits.

If the goal is to get drunk, consuming around 8-9 shots of Baileys may work well for both men and women. However, it’s crucial to remember that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious health risks and impaired judgment. It is always important to drink in moderation and be aware of your own limits and the effects of alcohol on your body.

It’s worth mentioning that Baileys is a cream-based liqueur, which can make it quite rich and heavy to consume in large quantities. This may make it harder to consume a significant amount quickly, as compared to other spirits that are typically consumed straight or mixed with other beverages.

Additionally, it’s important to be aware that mixing Baileys with other alcoholic beverages can increase the overall alcohol content of the drink. For example, mixing Baileys with vodka or other spirits will result in a higher ABV and potentially more intoxicating effects.

As always, it is crucial to drink responsibly and be aware of the potential risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption. If you choose to drink Baileys or any other alcoholic beverage, it’s important to know your limits, pace yourself, and consider the potential consequences on your health and well-being.
