How many units of alcohol until drunk?

Answer 1

Here's what it says on the Oxford Brooks website:

1-2 units cheerfulness and increase in self confidence

Manchester bus drivers, when given a drink, believed they could drive an 8' bus through a 7'6" gap!

2 units Increased risk of accident

3 units Usually increased happiness, but significantly impaired judgement

5 units Above the legal limit for driving. Potential loss of driving license and cause of serious accidents

10 units Slurred speech, loss of self control, maybe aggressive

12 units Inability to walk straight, loss of memory

18 units Approaching toxic levels. Continued drinking will lead to unconsciousness

Answer 2

That depends on a person's gender, size, body mass index, stomach contents, rate of consumption, etc. It does not depend on whether a person is drinking beer, wine or spirits because standard servings of those beverages contain the same amount of pure alcohol.

Answer 3

It kind of just hits me but on average about 20 units and I'm a little tipsy..couple of alcopops,vodka shots and maybe a glass of wine.But not too good to mix drinks lol
