As an experienced sommelier and brewer, I can certainly provide some insight into the effects of drinking Blue Moon. Blue Moon is a Belgian-style white ale that has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 5.4%. This means that for every 100 milliliters of Blue Moon, there is 5.4 milliliters of pure alcohol.
Now, when it comes to getting drunk, it's important to remember that everyone's tolerance and metabolism are different. How one person may react to a certain amount of alcohol can vary greatly from another person. However, in general, one glass of Blue Moon is unlikely to result in getting drunk for most individuals.
The moderate alcohol content in Blue Moon, combined with its flavor profile and brewing style, tends to create a more relaxed and enjoyable drinking experience rather than an intense intoxication. Many people describe the effects of drinking Blue Moon as taking the edge off and feeling more at ease, rather than feeling heavily intoxicated.
It's worth noting that the effects of alcohol can vary depending on several factors, such as body weight, tolerance, and the rate at which alcohol is consumed. Additionally, consuming Blue Moon on an empty stomach may result in feeling the effects of alcohol more quickly and intensely.
To put things into perspective, let's compare Blue Moon to our Grainwave Belgian-style white ale, which contains five milligrams of THC. While THC affects the body differently than alcohol, five milligrams of THC is generally considered to be a low dose and may provide a slight buzz or relaxation for most individuals. This can be similar to the effects of drinking one glass of Blue Moon.
One glass of Blue Moon is unlikely to result in getting drunk for most people. The moderate ABV, combined with the brewing style and flavor profile, tends to create a more relaxed and enjoyable drinking experience. It's important to drink responsibly and be aware of your own tolerance and how alcohol affects you personally.
