No, the idea of alcohol-soaked tampons is a myth.
Although the vaginal mucus membranes absorb quickly it's still not that much faster than the mucus membranes in your mouth or what you would absorb via normal ingestion. An ultra absorbency tampon can only hold around 18ml, which is less than a single shot - even if you're using a spirit with a high proof it's still not enough to get you drunk, unless you're a light-weight!
Consider then what happens when a tampon absorbs liquid - it gets soft and expands up to ten times its size - although you'd still be able to insert the tampon by shoving it up verses the normal insertion method (after all sponge tampons are soft and wet) a lot of the alcohol would be wasted as it'd be squeezed out during insertion. So you'd have less than a shots worth of alcohol shoved into your vagina, and a lot of alcohol all over the floor under you, but it's unlikely you'd be drunk.
You're also potentially looking at vaginal irritation, infection, and TSS risk.

Your tampon keeps getting soaked in pee?
If your tampon is getting soaked with urine you may not be inserting it correctly. The first part of the applicator should be fully inserted into the vagina except for the part you're holding, and the second part should be fully pushed into the first. Most boxes of tampons come with detailed instructions on how to use them, so look at the guides and pictures to confirm you're using them properly. If you're talking about the tampon string - just pull it away from your urine stream before you pee.
