How much alcohol do you need to put in sangria to get someone drunk?
Sangria is a refreshing and flavorful wine-based punch that originates from Spain. It is traditionally made with red wine, fruit juices, and fruits, and can be enhanced with spirits like brandy or rum. As with any alcoholic beverage, it is important to drink responsibly and to know your limit. But how much alcohol is actually in sangria? And how much do you need to drink to feel its effects?
Let’s start with the basics. A standard bottle of red wine contains 750ml, or 25.4 ounces. This equals out to about 14 glasses of wine. Now, sangria is typically made with a lower-quality red wine, so we’ll say that it has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 10%. This means that in each 750ml bottle, there is about 75ml of alcohol.
Now, let’s say you’re making a pitcher of sangria that is about 2 liters, or 67.6 ounces. This is approximately 5 bottles of wine. If we multiply 5 by 75, we get 375ml of alcohol in the total pitcher. This comes out to about 19.8 ounces, or approximately 2.5 cups.
So, how much alcohol do you need to put in sangria to get someone drunk? It really depends on the person’s weight, alcohol tolerance, and how much sangria they consume. A good rule of thumb, however, is that for a 2 liter pitcher of sangria, you should add a cup of vodka, rum, or brandy. This will put the alcohol content at around 20%, which is enough to get most people buzzed. Of course, you can always add more or less alcohol depending on your preference.
Just remember to drink responsibly, and enjoy your sangria!
How much alcohol should I use in my sangria?
While the amount of alcohol you use in your sangria is up to you, we recommend using 1-2 cups of red wine, 2-3 tbsp of brandy, and 1/2 cup of triple sec. This will ensure your sangria is nice and boozy without being too strong. If you want a stronger sangria, feel free to add more alcohol. Just be sure to adjust the amount of juice and sugar accordingly.
