How much alcohol gets a person drunk if drinks beer of 4.5% and spirits of 43%?

The thing is i’m tired of always being the too pissed one whenever I go out with friends. I need to know exact figures so that I can stop before i get too drunk

Well roughly, one new single (25ml) of a strong spirit such as whiskey yields around 10ml of pure alcohol which is similar to a half pint of medium strength. If you’re drinking bottled beer then adjust your calculations accordingly as volumes per bottle vary.

With this in mind; a double whiskey is the equivalent of a pint and a single is the same as a half.

If you’re drinking somewhere that sells the traditional full measures (35ml and 70ml) then shorts will get you smashed quicker.

If you drink mixers and cocktails which you are unfamiliar with it can get incredibly complicated. Especially if your drink has several alcoholic components.

How much will affect you? It depends on many many things, as the others already said. Try sticking to say one pint/double per hour for one night. That sounds sensible to me for your body weight. If you feel drunk, stop. Next time, adjust your intake up or down based on how well you did last time. This is probably the quickest and easiest way you’re going to sort it out.

If you and your friends buy rounds then this can be difficult to stick to. Buying rounds was actually made illegal in Britain with the passing of the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 precisely for the reason that it forces people to get drunk. When it’s your round you could always try buying yourself a non-alcoholic becks. I drink it and it tastes great. Very hard to tell the difference. The price is very similar too. Sometimes cheaper!
