During some parties or events you may wish to get drunk quickly; there are several ways to get intoxicated quickly, such as choosing very strong drinks or drinking fast. However, you need to be cautious, as "hangover" increases the risk of acute ethanol poisoning. If you get drunk almost immediately, you run the risk of consuming too much alcohol, which is a serious health problem. Know your limits and when you feel too drunk or start to feel bad, you should stop. While drinking is fun, health should always be the top priority.
Steps
Part 1 of 3: Choosing the Right Drinks
Step 1. Monitor the ethanol content
The various beers, ciders and other strong drinks have different alcoholic strengths; if you want to get drunk quickly, you need to choose drinks with a high percentage of ethanol. This value is usually written on one side of the bottle; a high number indicates that you are more likely to be quickly intoxicated.
- Strong beers often have an alcohol content of 15-18%; they are more readily produced in small, independent breweries than by large companies.
- Even those with an alcohol content of around 11% are quite potent. If you can't get yourself a drink with 15-18% alcohol, at least try to consume something around 11%.
- Don't forget your limits. A few strong beers can really take you to the limit, slow down the pace at which you are drinking as soon as you feel "tipsy". If you start feeling very drunk or sick, it is a sign that you need to stop drinking alcohol. you don't have to get nauseous from alcohol.
Step 2. Choose cocktails with diet sodas
Mixing liqueurs with sugar-free soft drinks, those defined as "diet" or "light", allows you to reach a state of intoxication earlier. This is because normal drinks are "recognized" by the body as food, slowing down the absorption of alcohol; the body, on the other hand, does not metabolize diet sodas as food, so the alcohol is absorbed quickly.
People don't necessarily notice that they get drunk sooner when they drink alcoholic cocktails and "diet" sodas. When opting for these drinks, be aware that you may be intoxicated before you even know it; therefore avoid getting behind the wheel
Step 3. Try carbonated spirits
This type of drink could help you with your intent; order champagne, spritz or another sparkling cocktail.
Carbonated spirits are champagne, sparkling wine, spritzes and cocktails with tonic water
Step 4. Go for strong liquors instead of beer
These products get you drunk faster than wine or beer, as they have a higher alcohol content. In particular, it is useful for your purpose to consume cicchetti, because it allows you to absorb a high dose of ethanol in a short time. Vodka is well known for increasing the rapidity with which a state of intoxication is reached; to achieve your goal, try to consume strong liquor.
- Remember that the drinks can be stronger or weaker depending on the bar policies you frequent. Some bartenders, for example, pour far more than a single serving of alcohol when making mixed cocktails.
- You can also order the "double" version of the drink; this way, you are served two doses in one drink. If you want to drink more and faster, this is a great technique.
- The liqueurs have a high alcohol content; abusing it makes you sick, try to drink no more than one or two.
Part 2 of 3: Eat and Drink Effectively
Step 1. Drink in a relaxed manner
High levels of stress can slow down the drunkenness process. If you are doing something stressful or experiencing an anxiety-provoking situation while drinking, you protest that you are hindering your goal.
- Try to calm down before a night of partying. Before going out, do some activity that generally relaxes you; watch your favorite TV show, read a book, or do some deep breathing exercises.
- Go out with friends who help you relax and not increase stress; If you hang out with people who make you anxious, you may not be able to get drunk fast.
Step 2. Eat right before a "good night"
You should never consume alcohol on an empty stomach as it is very dangerous; however, don't overdo it with a binge before going out. Food slows down the body's ability to absorb alcohol; if you start drinking after eating too much, it will take longer before you get drunk.
- Eat a light meal a few hours before drinking. Choose something like a salad with chicken, a light sandwich, a portion of fish or a small piece of pasta.
- Never drink on an empty stomach. While this is a sure way to quickly reach euphoria, it also increases your chances of feeling sick. This behavior severely impairs health.
Step 3. Drink in a group
If you drink alcohol with friends, you are more likely to drink quickly. People finish their drinks faster when they are with a lot of other people. Drinking at a higher rate allows you to get drunk quickly and increases the amount of alcohol you consume in a night; all these factors guarantee a quick hangover.
Don't forget to keep track of the drinks you drink. When you are with friends it is easy to overdo it without realizing it, especially when you are surrounded by people with a high tolerance to alcohol. Be aware of how you feel when you drink; if you feel discomfort, you must think about stopping, even if friends continue to consume alcoholic beverages
Step 4. Choose a curved glass
Drinking from a regular mug of beer can keep you from getting drunk; flutes and curved glasses help you reach your goal. This is because it is more difficult to evaluate the midpoint of a curved glass than a straight one; in doing so, you are inclined to drink faster and are unable to evaluate the quantities.
- If you are drinking at the bar, the beer or champagne is probably served in such glasses.
- If you're drinking at home, buy a pair of cheap, curved glasses at the grocery store or home improvement store.
Part 3 of 3: Consider Security
Step 1. Be aware of your limitations
If you want to get drunk in no time, it is essential to know how far you can go to avoid getting sick. Be aware of the amount of alcohol you can consume and stay in control.
- You may know how much you can drink from past experiences; for example, you know you start getting sick and losing your memory around the fourth drink.
- If you've never had a drink before, you may not know when to stop. Try to be alert to the sensations you experience; if you start to feel physically ill or experience intense dizziness, you must stop consuming alcohol. You can also ask a friend to watch over you and tell you when you are about to lose control.
- You must always be aware of the situation, even if you are drunk; however, it is not easy to do this when you are trying to get drunk quickly.
- If you feel like you're getting very "tipsy", take a break. You don't have to keep drinking alcohol all night to maintain this intoxicated state; once you get drunk, you should stop.
Step 2. Do not consume alcohol on a completely empty stomach
Many people avoid eating before drinking in order to get drunk quickly, but it's never a good idea. Always eat something, even a small one, before consuming alcoholic beverages. You should also nibble throughout the evening and choose high-protein foods, such as nuts or cheese.
Step 3. Opt for moderation in almost any circumstance
Getting drunk once in a while is fun, especially during a social event; however, prolonged alcohol abuse damages health in general. In most cases, limit yourself to a drink or two to keep yourself safe and healthy.
Step 4. Before drinking, find out about the interactions between alcohol and any medications you are taking
If you have decided to get drunk, check the leaflet for all the active ingredients you are taking to make sure there are no dangerous interactions.
Don't take pain relievers after a night of drinking; these medicines do not combine well with ethanol and can damage both the liver and other internal organs. Pain relievers like acetaminophen are especially dangerous
Advice
- The amount of alcohol you need to get drunk depends on your body weight, how much food you ate and your tolerance. Consider these factors when drinking alcohol and don't try to compete or keep up with friends, as they may tolerate alcohol better than you.
- The alcohol concentration of a cocktail depends on the bartender who is preparing it, some professionals dilute their drinks more than others.
- Getting drunk fast doesn't mean getting too drunk too fast. Once you've had a couple of drinks, take a half hour break before continuing, during which the body metabolizes the alcohol.
Warnings
- Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can be very dangerous. You shouldn't do this when you are very hungry; eat a few hours before drinking, so that you feel light enough but without feeling hungry.
- Always drink in moderation; do not drink if you have to drive, if you are pregnant or if you have not reached the age of majority.
