The higher the alcohol by volume, and subsequently the proof, the fewer drinks it takes to get “drunk”. Remember, there are other factors that determine how many adult beverages it takes to become intoxicated. If you are on medication or you have a lower tolerance for alcohol the number of drinks to get drunk will be lower than the average person.
