Wine experts say that what matters more is how much alcohol is going into the body.
People who drink alcohol often say that due to mixing too much, it becomes too high. But the question is whether it really becomes harder when two different drinks like whiskey with beer or vodka with wine are mixed. Or it goes higher. Most people who consume alcohol give this argument. On this, wine experts say, this misunderstanding is common among alcohol consumers, but its truth is something else.
Wine expert Sonal Holland says, the extent to which the drinker becomes intoxicated depends on the amount of alcohol in his drink. This is the biggest factor. Know, what is the truth behind this.
What happens when two drinks are mixed?
Wine expert Sonal Holland says, no matter how much mixing is done, intoxication depends on the total alcohol content. Now let us understand its science also. Whenever you take a drink, whether you take it single or make a peg by mixing two drinks, only its flavor and taste changes. The same ethanol that you have drunk is absorbed in your body’s blood. Therefore, it is wrong to say that she drank two drinks by mixing them and that is why she got high.
What to keep in mind?
Wine experts say, whenever you mix whiskey with beer or vodka with wine, keep in mind how much alcohol it contains and in what quantity you are taking it. It is clear that there is a need to keep in mind the total quantity of alcohol consumed because this increases intoxication. Now the question arises that how much alcohol is contained in which drink? Now everyone understands this.
How much alcohol in what?
The amount of alcohol in any drink is measured by ABV. Its full name is Alcohol by Volume.The alcohol content of normal beer is also 5%-12%. At the same time, wine contains 8%-15% alcohol, red wine contains 12-15%, white wine contains 8-12% and sparkling wine/champagne contains 10-12% alcohol. Talking about country liquor, it usually contains 20%-40% alcohol. However, it also depends on different states and the process of making them there.
Talking about whiskey, it contains 40%-50% alcohol. Whiskey available in India contains 42.8% alcohol. At the same time, Rum contains 37%-50%, Vodka contains 35%-50%, Gin contains 37%-47%, Tequila contains 35%-50%, Brandy contains 35%-45% and Alco-pop contains 4%-8% alcohol.
In this way, the alcohol present in alcoholic drinks works to make any drink hard. Its quantity determines how intoxicated someone will become. Wine experts say that alcohol is bad in any form, but whenever you drink it, keep in mind how much alcohol is reaching the body.
