Do shots get people drunk faster?

Question

Do shots get people drunk faster?

Answer 1

yes.one shot=one beer,so considering how quick and easy to do a shot,i would say much easier/faster.

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

yes!

Answer 4

Short answer: Yes

But really it depends what youre comparing it to.

Say a couple of shots

Faster than drinking Whisky/Scotch on the rocks - no because theyre both the same percentage, so it would be about the same.

Faster than Beer/alcopops - yes, the percentage of these is usually like 5% (Correct me if im wrong) and shots anywhere between 30-40% depending.

I think the main thing with shots is that people tend to drink lots quickly. One shot is about equal to say one glass of wine. It would take about half an hour to drink 1 glass of wine, and 10 seconds for a shot. If you do about 3-4 in a short period...thats 3-4 glasses of wine.

Answer 5

depends

the alcohol content of an average shot can be much greater than what a beer has, but its smaller... most people doing shots drink quite a few, while beer has more water, it takes longer to get you as drunk, and there is the time to go pee likely thrown in there with the beer too.

so on average, yes.

Answer 6

Depends how far apart the shots are...one shot = one drink...drink them at the same pace as you would drink one beer and no...ie:3 beers per hour = 3 shots per hour

Answer 7

typically a glass of wine, a beer and a shot have the same amount of alcohol but you feel drunk faster off shots because you intake them faster so the alcohol hits you faster.

Answer 8

yes!

because it's not exactly the amount

it's the faster you're drinking.

the faster you drink the faster you

get drunk!

good luck with the hung over!

Answer 9

yes and you dont have to taste it as much

Answer 10

Duh.

Answer 11

Yes, because you don't really keep count and the alcohol level is really high

Answer 12

yeahhhhhh!!

way faster

Answer 13

yep, that is the point

Answer 14

yup.......a shot = like a 12-16oz beer....so you can drink the shots much faster and therefore you will get drunk faster.... duh....!!

Answer 15

Yes - You can speed things with a game of Twister.

Answer 16

Yes, especially patron shots!!!

Answer 17

No, unless you drink more shots in the same  period of time that you would consume a beer or rum and coke etc.  However, it is VERY likely that will be the case, as most people drink shots one after another after another after another.....

Answer 18

OHHH YEAAAA

ANSWER MINE! anybody!

Answer 19

yes only because you can drink it faster. however the amount of alcohol in the shots of liquor is the same as a bottle of beer same as a glass of wine so if you drunk that bottle of beer quick than you be drunk in the same amount of time otherwise you can prolly get 3 shots or more in the same time you drink a 1 beer making you drunk way faster

Answer 20

Yes, they have a high proof (percentage of alcohol) so it takes less liquid to get the same effect.

Mixed shots are less strong.  So if you're doing a shot of pure tequila, that's going to get you drunk faster than a lemon drop shot.

Answer 21

depends. Shots of liquor usually arent mixed with anything, and liquor has a much higher alcoholic content than beer or a mixed drink. So i would say yes, on 4-6 shots of Bacardi 151 you would be completely plastered, you'd have to drink a case of beer to get that drunk

Answer 22

yaw.

thats why they use little glasses

Answer 23

Yes - mainly b/c they are mostly pure alcohol...

Answer 24

Faster than what? "Faster" is a comparative term. You have to be comparing shots to something. Faster than beer? Faster than downing a pint of vodka straight? Faster than NyQuil? Be more specific! I can think of a LOT of things that will get you drunker a LOT faster than even shots.

Answer 25

yup
