What cocktail gets you most drunk?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

When it comes to cocktails, the level of intoxication you experience can be influenced by various factors, including the alcohol content of the drink. If you’re looking to maximize your level of drunkenness, it’s important to choose cocktails with higher alcohol content.

One important thing to consider is that drinks with higher alcohol content will typically increase your blood alcohol levels more rapidly. This means that you’re more likely to feel the effects of alcohol sooner and become intoxicated more quickly. For example, a sherry, which typically has a higher alcohol content, will increase your blood alcohol levels more rapidly than a beer.

When it comes to specific cocktails, there are a few that tend to have higher alcohol content compared to others. Absinthe, rum, and vodka are known for their higher alcohol content compared to most other alcoholic beverages. Absinthe typically ranges from approximately 36-95 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), while rum and vodka can also have a high ABV, depending on the brand and type.

It’s worth noting that even within these categories, there can be variations in alcohol content. For example, some vodkas may have a lower ABV compared to others, so it’s important to check the bottle or label to determine the specific alcohol content.

In terms of personal experiences, I once had a night out with friends where we decided to try different cocktails with higher alcohol content. We started with absinthe-based cocktails, which definitely packed a punch due to their high alcohol content. We then moved on to rum-based cocktails, which also had a noticeable impact on our level of intoxication. It was interesting to compare the effects of these cocktails to others with lower alcohol content.

To sum it up, if you’re looking to get the most drunk from a cocktail, it’s best to opt for drinks with higher alcohol content. Absinthe, rum, and vodka are generally known for their higher alcohol content compared to other alcoholic beverages. However, it’s important to drink responsibly and be aware of your limits, as excessive alcohol consumption can lead to negative consequences.
