At certain parties or events, you may want to get drunk faster. There are several ways to get drunk faster, from choosing a stronger drink to drinking quickly. However, you still need to be careful. Consuming alcoholic beverages in excess and quickly (binge drinking) can increase the risk of alcohol poisoning. If you get drunk too quickly, it will be easy for you to drink too much alcohol. This of course poses a huge health risk. Therefore, know your own limits. When you feel too drunk, or start to feel sick, stop drinking alcohol. Although enjoying alcoholic beverages is fun, your health should still be a priority.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Drink
Step 1. Pay attention to the alcohol content of the drink
Types of beer, cider, and other liquors have different levels of alcohol. If you want to get drunk faster, choose a drink with a higher alcohol content. Usually, you can see the alcohol content information on the bottle. The higher the percentage, the faster you will likely get drunk.
- Beers with a higher alcohol content often contain around 15-18% alcohol. Unlike the beers produced by large companies, these are usually produced by smaller, independent breweries.
- Even beer with an alcohol content of 11% is strong enough to get you drunk faster. If you can't find a beer with an alcohol content of 15-18%, try looking for a beer with an alcohol content of 11%.
- Remember your limits. Some strong beer products can actually make you very drunk. Don't drink too fast if you start to feel dizzy. If you start to feel very dizzy or nauseous, stop drinking the drink. Do not let you get sick from consuming alcoholic beverages.
Step 2. Choose a diet soda mixed with liquor
Mixed diet drinks, such as diet soda, and alcoholic beverages can make you drunk more quickly. This is because regular soft drinks are "recognized" by the body as food so that the absorption of alcohol by the body slows down. However, your body doesn't recognize diet soda as food, so alcohol can be absorbed more quickly.
People usually don't notice when they get drunk more quickly after enjoying booze mixed with diet drinks. If you mix booze with diet soda, make sure you realize early on that you're going to be hungrier than you thought
Step 3. Try a bubbly drink
This type of drink can make you drunk faster. If you want to get drunk quickly and like a type of drink like champagne or a spritzer (a mixture of wine and sparkling water), order that type of drink.
Several types of bubbly drinks that you can try include champagne, sparkling wine, spitzer, and other liquors mixed with tonic water
Step 4. Choose hard liquor instead of beer
Strong liquors can get you drunk faster than beer or wine because of their higher alcohol content. Having a few shots of it can help you get drunk faster because your body can absorb drinks with a high alcohol content more quickly. For example, vodka is known to speed up hangovers. Therefore, if you want to get drunk faster, try to choose a strong liquor.
- Keep in mind that depending on the bar you visit, the drinks served may have a stronger or weaker alcohol content. For example, some bartenders may serve mixed drinks (eg cocktails) with a higher liquor ratio.
- You can also ask the bartender to double a certain amount of an ingredient. This way, you can get two servings of ingredients (in this case, liquor) in one mixed drink. If you drink more and more paint, you can get drunk faster.
- Liquor has a very high alcohol content. Too much of it can make you sick. Try to consume only one or two servings of liquor.
Part 2 of 3: Eating and Drinking Effectively
Step 1. Drink in a calm state
High stress levels can slow down the hangover process. If you're doing something stressful while drinking, or feel pressured to go to an upcoming event/party, those situations are just making it harder for you to get drunk.
- Try to calm down before you go to an event/party. Before you leave, do something to calm you down. Watch your favorite television show. Read a book. Practice deep breathing techniques.
- Go out for a drink with friends which can lower your stress level, not raise it. If you go out with friends who tend to stress you out, you can't get drunk fast.
Step 2. Eat a small snack before consuming liquor
Never consume alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach because it is very dangerous for health. However, you also shouldn't eat too much before enjoying an alcoholic drink because food can slow down your body's ability to absorb alcohol. If you drink immediately after a large meal, it will take you longer to get drunk.
- Eat small meals a few hours before consuming alcoholic beverages. Try eating a salad with chicken, a small sandwich, a serving of fish, or pasta.
- Never consume alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach. While this condition can make you drunk more quickly, it can increase the likelihood of feeling nauseous after consuming alcoholic beverages. In addition, consuming alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach can harm your health.
Step 3. Drink in groups
If you enjoy drinking with friends, there's a good chance you'll get drunk faster. Usually, people finish their drinks more quickly when in large groups. Drinking faster can make you drunk faster, as well as increase the number of drinks consumed throughout the night. All of them can get you drunk a lot faster.
Don't forget how many drinks you've enjoyed. Usually, it will be easy for you to drink alcohol in excess when enjoying it with friends, especially those who have a higher alcohol tolerance. Pay attention to how you feel when you drink alcohol. If you start to feel uncomfortable, it's time for you to stop drinking, even when the rest of your friends want to drink more
Step 4. Drink from a curved glass
Enjoying a drink from a regular beer can actually prevent the body from getting drunk. Meanwhile, enjoying a drink from a glass with curved or fluted walls can make you drunk faster. You will find it difficult to measure the midpoint of the glass compared to when you enjoy a drink from a glass with a vertical wall. This way, you'll drink faster because you're not sure how much you're drinking.
- If you enjoy a drink at the bar and order a beer or champagne, it will usually be served in a glass with curved walls.
- If you enjoy drinking at home, try buying some curved-walled glasses at the local supermarket or convenience store.
Part 3 of 3: Keeping Yourself Safe
Step 1. Know your limits
If you want to get drunk quickly, you need to know your body's limits. Do not let you feel nauseous or sick from consuming too many alcoholic beverages. Know how many servings of drinks you can drink and make sure you always check your body condition.
- You can recognize these limitations from previous experiences. For example, you may notice that you will start to feel nauseous and lose your memory after enjoying about four drinks/servings.
- If you are just starting to enjoy alcoholic beverages and have never consumed them before, you may not be so sure of your body's limits. Try to recognize what your body is feeling. If you start to feel sick, or very dizzy, that could be a sign that you need to stop drinking. You can also ask other friends to pay attention to your condition and let them know if you start to lose control.
- Make sure you stay in control of the situation at hand, even when you're drunk. This will be more difficult to do if you want to get drunk faster.
- If you feel very drunk, stop drinking for a moment. Don't keep drinking all night to keep yourself in a drunken state. You should stop taking it as soon as you feel drunk.
Step 2. Do not enjoy alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach
Many people avoid food before enjoying an alcoholic drink in order to get drunk faster. Actually, this is not a good thing. Always eat something, even in small portions, before enjoying an alcoholic drink. You should also enjoy snacks throughout the night. Choose foods that are rich in protein, such as nuts or cheese.
Step 3. Try not to drink alcohol in excess under any circumstances
It's nice to get drunk once in a while, especially when you're visiting a social gathering. However, in the long run, alcohol abuse can be detrimental to your overall health. Therefore, in any event, try to consume alcoholic beverages as much as one or two glasses / serving. In this way, the condition of your body will remain safe and healthy.
Step 4. Check the drugs you are taking before enjoying alcoholic beverages
Alcohol can interfere with certain medications. If you want to get drunk, first check the labels of the drugs you are taking. Make sure the drugs will not cause negative interactions with alcoholic beverages.
Avoid taking painkillers after consuming alcoholic beverages. These drugs can react negatively to alcohol and cause damage to the liver and other organs. Specifically, painkillers that contain acetaminophen are very dangerous if taken after you have had an alcoholic drink
Tips
- The amount of alcohol you need to drink in order to get drunk will depend on your weight, the amount of food you've eaten, and your alcohol tolerance. Keep these things in mind when you want to drink alcohol, and don't try to compete or match your body with other friends because they may have a higher alcohol tolerance than you.
- The strength of the mixed drink you enjoy will depend on the bartender who makes it. Some bartenders/bars usually dissolve drinks made more often than other bartenders/bars.
- Just because you get drunk fast doesn't mean you have to get drunk too fast. After enjoying a few drinks, take time to rest for 30 minutes before enjoying more drinks so that your body can metabolize the alcohol consumed.
Warning
- Consuming alcoholic beverages on an empty stomach is very dangerous. You should not indulge in alcoholic beverages when you are very hungry. Instead, eat a few hours before you drink alcohol to make your stomach feel comfortable enough, but not hungry.
- Always limit the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Do not drive after consuming alcoholic beverages. You also should not take it if you are pregnant or under age.
