Twisted Tea’s sweet, refreshing taste makes it easy to drink quickly – but how many cans will actually get you drunk? The answer depends on your weight, gender, tolerance, and other factors. Here’s a detailed breakdown.

- 12oz can of Twisted Tea = 0.6oz pure alcohol
- 16oz tall boy = 0.8oz pure alcohol

| Wine | 12% | 5oz |

How Many Twisted Teas to Get Drunk?
Most people will feel tipsy after 2-3 Twisted Teas and drunk after 4-5, but this varies significantly:
By Body Weight
- 100 lbs: 2-3 cans to feel drunk
- 150 lbs: 3-4 cans to feel drunk
- 200 lbs: 4-5 cans to feel drunk
Women generally reach higher BAC levels faster than men when consuming the same amount of alcohol. For a more precise calculation, use the BAC calculator from CASAA.
By Tolerance
Regular drinkers may need 1-2 more cans than occasional drinkers to feel the same effects. The sweet flavor can mask intoxication, leading to overconsumption.
Factors That Affect Intoxication
Food Consumption
Drinking on an empty stomach leads to faster absorption. Eating protein-rich foods slows alcohol absorption.
Hydration
Alcohol dehydrates you. Alternate with water to slow intoxication and prevent hangovers.
Medications
Some medications like antidepressants or painkillers can intensify alcohol’s effects.
