Can soft drinks like Pina Colada, Irish Baileys or others also get you seriously drunk?

[Anonymous]

One of my friend claimed she got drunk from 4 cocktails of Margarita. Someone else claimed to have gotten drunk out of Pina Colada too and another from Irish Baileys.

They're innocent, soft and sweet drinks. So you can get seriously drunk from those soft, sweet ones too?

[RebelinSteel]

All are alcoholic drinks, you can get drunk on pretty much any alcohol if strength and or volume is sufficient. Also you believing them to be soft sweet drinks is scary, as that is the type of person that would drive after having say 4 cocktails….

[TommyMountainFigure]

Getting drunk isn't only based on the amount of alcohol you consume. It also goes by how much you weigh, and how much you drink usually. Those are just 2 examples.
I would question why you would think she would lie about it?

[Asker]

It's not that I don't believe her. I do but I was very surprised that she got drunk from Margaritas. I think some of us underestimate the sweet, relaxing drinks.

[TommyMountainFigure]

That I agree with 100%. It's also why so many people fail a breathalyser test when pulled over by police.

[FreyaRed]

Baileys has 17-20% alcohol. It was my first experience with alcohol and it will make you drunk.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

If they contain alcohol, then yes you can get drunk from them if you drink enough of it.

[AI Opinion]

Well, being here on Girls Ask Guys, I love diving into topics about food and drinks, especially when it intersects with a bit of fun and curiosity! Let's chat about those sweet, "innocent" drinks. Despite their dessert-like taste, drinks like Pina Colada, Margarita, and especially Irish Baileys, camouflage a significant amount of alcohol. It's the sweetness that often masks the taste of alcohol, making it easy to underestimate how much you're consuming. So, to your question, absolutely, these drinks can get you pretty tipsy or even seriously drunk if you're not careful. They're like wolves in sheep's clothing – sweet on the outside but pack a punch! Always drink responsibly! 🍸🌀

Fuck off

[LazyDork]

@Kingofkings1992 He's not wrong.

[JustinTheGreat]

I mean you can get drunk if you have enough of any alcohol in any type of mixed drink lol

I’m a bartender. I work at a corporate restaurant so our drinks are kinda weak compared to local bars, of course. But our margarita for example has 1 and 1/4 ounces of tequila (which is the amount of a typical shot) and 3/4 ounces of triple sec

So if you have 4 margaritas then that’s equivalent to having 5 shots of tequila and 3 shots of triple sec.

Depends on your tolerance to alcohol

If I want to get drunk then I'll drink half a bottle of Scotch but I know people who'll get worse than that on a bottle of cider

[Elliegirl]

If it has alcohol, it’s not a soft drink. Different people have different alcohol tolerances, but if there’s alcohol in it, it’s definitely possible

[RavVid]

Soft drinks as in zero alcohol? Where I am each of them has serious alcohol. Irish Baileys is 17% alcohol.

[Asker]

I call them soft drinks because even though they have alcoholic, they are sweet and generally less likely to get you totally drunk like the hard liquors. So yeah it was surprising that my friend got drunk from 4 Margaritas.

[RavVid]

You might not taste the alcohol in Margaritas but it is quite strong. I seem to remember that sherry is at the perfect concentration (15-20%) to be absorbed quickly into the blood stream. No wonder little old ladies liked it back in the day. I think a Margaritas is about that 15-20% level.

Checked my memory and it was good. Check this link www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC543875/

[slatyb]

Yes, of course. They go down quickly, and then suddenly you are quite drunk.

[FunkyMonkee]

It depends on how used to them you are. My ex-fiance got severely smashed one night from drinking just ONE bottle of beer!! She never drank before!!

[Asker]

wow... was she lightweight and short? The only drink that got me hammered like that to the point of not remembering everything was 2 cans of Four Lokos.

[FunkyMonkee]

She was 5' 3 but, like I said, she never drank before.

[msc545]

Yes, the sweetness of them doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is how much alcohol they contain and some of these soft gentle drinks contain copious amounts of alcohol.

[Siri137]

'Bailey's' isn't a soft drink, it has alcohol in it, so yes, you can get drunk if you have enough of it.

[gorydetails]

It depends on how much alcohol is in the drink, how much consume over what timeframe. The alcohol doesn't care about its delivery system.

[bobby_bush_eater]

They have alcohol... If you drink a lot of it yeah it's very easy to get drunk. I assume she's pretty small too, also margaritas can be pretty big

[Asker]

well she's 5'5 and close to 130 Ibs, not that small.

[The_Sexpert]

They have alcohol in it, so of course you can get drunk

[DryGermanGuy]

Anything with ~15% alcohol gets you easily drunk, especially if you are a lightweight.

[OddBeMe]

Soft drinks are already a thing. Maybe call them “softer drinks”

[Kingofkings1992]

Anything with alcoholic content can make you drunk

[KrakenAttackin]

"It will take us five hours to get drunk off this monkey's piss"!

[RedInnocent69]

Yes. Very. Worse hangovers too.

[Asker]

Wow...

[RedInnocent69]

So sweet and creamy, with a warm afterburn, going down, that just makes you want more.

[Pennywise_6]

Depends on your alcohol tolerance.

[CocacolaGirl1993]

Depends how much they drink.

[jahaims]

You have no idea how alcohol works lol

[Iron_Man]

No, there’s nothing in it

[12karen]

Nope
