How Many Twisted Teas To Get Drunk?
Most people will start to become drunk after drinking 3 Twisted Teas.
For an average healthy male to reach a BAC of 0.08%, it takes 4-5 Twisted Teas to get drunk when consumed within one hour, and for the average healthy female to reach a BAC of 0.08%, it will take 2-4 Twisted Teas to get drunk over the same time period.
Do note that this is based on the typical ABV of Twisted Teas being 5%, so a higher ABV Twisted Tea will require less Twisted Teas to get drunk, whereas a lower ABV will require more Twisted Teas to get drunk to the same degree.
However, there are multiple factors that can affect how drunk an individual can get, and how quickly, and because of this, the amount of alcohol that it takes for you to become drunk can vary from person to person.
Factors That Affect Intoxication
Alcohol content: Different drinks contain varying percentages of alcohol. For example, beer typically contains less alcohol than wine, and both contain less than hard liquor.
Quantity: The more alcohol consumed, the more intoxicated an individual will typically become.

Rate of consumption: Drinking alcohol rapidly or on an empty stomach can cause the body to absorb alcohol more quickly, leading to increased intoxication.
Body weight and body fat: People with more body weight usually require more alcohol to feel its effects. Higher body fat can also lead to increased intoxication, as alcohol is not absorbed by fat cells, causing a higher concentration in the bloodstream.
Biological sex: On average, females may become intoxicated more quickly than males due to differences in body composition and hormonal factors.
Metabolism: Some people naturally metabolise alcohol faster than others. Those with faster metabolisms might not become as intoxicated as those with slower metabolisms.
Tolerance: Regular drinkers might have a higher tolerance for alcohol and might need to drink more to feel the same effects as occasional drinkers.
Food intake: Consuming food before or during drinking can slow the absorption of alcohol, leading to less intoxication.

Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic, and drinking while dehydrated can exacerbate the effects of alcohol.
Medications or drugs: Some medications or drugs can increase the effects of alcohol, leading to increased intoxication.
Remember, alcohol affects everyone differently, and these factors may interact in complex ways. Always prioritise safety and responsibility when consuming alcohol.
What is the Definition of Drunk?
The definition of “drunk” pertains to the state of inebriation when an individual’s mental and physical functions are impaired due to the consumption of alcohol. It is typically characterised by a lack of balance, lowered inhibitions, impaired judgement, and slower reaction times. The specific level at which a person is considered drunk can vary based on numerous factors, including the person’s weight, sex, metabolic rate, and the quantity and speed of alcohol consumption.
Legally, in many jurisdictions, “drunk” or “intoxicated” is often defined by a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. This legal limit can vary by country, state, or region.
It’s important to note that even small amounts of alcohol can affect one’s ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Thus, “drunk” does not merely refer to extreme states of inebriation but can encompass any degree of impairment due to alcohol.
