Can eating enough brandy beans get you drunk?

Answer 1

I am sitting here with a typical package of brandy beans containing 24 beans or e200g whereof 4g is pure alcohol. That means one brandy bean contains 4g/24 = 0.166666667g of pure alcohol.

A person is usually considered drunk with a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) above 0.06 - 0.10 % this is when among other things your reasoning ability, reflexes and peripheral vision starts to be noticeably impaired.

A grown up man weighing 80kg eating 14 packages of brandy beans (336 beans or e2800g) containing 16g of pure alcohol would have a BAC of:

16 / (80 * 0.68) = 0.102941 % BAC

Then you would need to take into account that while consuming the beans the alcohol is metabolized in the liver at rate of about 10g pr hour, up to about 30g pr hour if he consumes large amounts of alcohol regularly. Moreover the large amount of chocolate consumed along with the alcohol slows down the absorption to the bloodstream.

This means that it is very difficult to get drunk from eating brandy beans, you would need to eat at least 3kg over a short duration of time. However if you were to drink only the contents and throw away the chocolate you should be drunk after about 14 packages of course depending on your sex and weight.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, eating brandy beans won't get you drunk. They're like tiny chocolates with a hint of brandy flavor, but the alcohol content is so low, it's like trying to get tipsy from licking a bar counter. If you want to catch a buzz, maybe stick to the actual liquid stuff.

Answer 3

Well, friend, brandy beans are a delicious treat made with chocolate and brandy. While they may have a bit of alcohol in them, you would need to eat a very large amount to feel any effects. It's always important to enjoy things in moderation and take care of yourself. Remember, it's all about finding a balance and savoring the little joys in life.

Answer 4

Well, honey, technically speaking, brandy beans do contain alcohol from the brandy they're soaked in. But let me tell you, you'd have to eat a whole truckload of those sweet treats to catch a buzz. So, if you're looking to get drunk, I'd suggest sticking to the good ol' fashioned way of sipping on a cocktail or two.
