Will 1800 margarita get you drunk?

Answered by Bill Hernandez

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can provide you with a detailed answer to your question about whether the 1800 Ultimate will get you drunk.

To start, let's look at the content of the 1800 Ultimate Margarita. At 9.95 percent ABV (or 19.9 proof), it is significantly lower in alcohol compared to the average shaken lime margarita, which can have an ABV of over 27 percent (or 54 proof). This means that the 1800 Ultimate Margarita has less alcohol per volume than a typical margarita.

Now, the alcohol content of a drink is important because it determines how quickly and how much alcohol is absorbed into your bloodstream. The higher the alcohol content, the faster you may feel the effects of alcohol and the more intoxicated you may become. So, theoretically, a drink with a higher ABV, like a traditional margarita, could potentially get you drunk faster than the 1800 Ultimate Margarita.

However, it's important to remember that getting drunk is not just about the alcohol content of a single drink. It also depends on factors such as your body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and how quickly you consume the drink. Additionally, mixing alcohol with other substances or drinking on an empty stomach can also affect how drunk you get.

Speaking from personal experience, I have found that the 1800 Ultimate Margarita, with its lower alcohol content, does not have the same immediate impact as a higher ABV margarita. It can certainly be enjoyed for its taste and flavor without feeling the effects of alcohol as quickly. However, it's still important to drink responsibly and be aware of your own limits.

The 1800 Ultimate Margarita, with its 9.95 percent ABV, is lower in alcohol compared to a typical shaken lime margarita. While it may not get you drunk as quickly, it's essential to remember that individual factors and responsible drinking play a significant role in how intoxicated you become.
