What's heavier alcohol or water?

Water is more dense than alcohol or oil because its molecules can pack closely together, which means that it has more mass in the same volume than either alcohol or oil.

Does alcohol and water mix?

Rubbing alcohol molecules have a polar and nonpolar part, which means they are able to form hydrogen bonds with water and therefore able to mix with it.

Can I mix vodka with water?

Whether it's called carbonated water, sparkling water, seltzer, or soda water, the liquid is all the same and it's a perfect mixer for vodka. The water helps cut the spirit's strength without diluting flavor while the effervescence adds just a little extra to a cocktail.

Does putting ice in wine dilute the alcohol?

The objective of adding ice to wine is not to lower the temperature of the wine; it's to increase the dilution. ... Too much ice will chill the wine to a point at which the volatiles are less active. The second benefit of subtly icing your wine is that you will dilute the amount of alcohol you're consuming.

Is vodka just diluted ethanol?

Vodka, by definition, is ethanol cut with water to at least 80 proof (40 percent purity). Despite its common sobriquet of "potato juice," it's actually pretty hard to make it from spuds—the tuber tends to produce more methanol (poison) than grain feedstocks, requiring additional distillation.

Does drinking alcohol straight get you more drunk?

Does mixing your drinks actually get you drunk quicker? According to the NHS Alcohol Myth Buster, mixing your drinks does not get you drunk quicker. Your blood alcohol content is what determines how drunk you are and when you mix your drinks it only upsets your stomach making you feel sicker, but not more intoxicated.

How do you sleep when your drunk?

Filter out the light in your room with blackout curtains, or get a sleep mask. Set the temperature so it's nice and cool—around 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit—so you don't get too hot when you finally crawl in bed, and get some earplugs to help block out any noise in your environment.

Why does drunk feel so good?

That aspect seems to stem from the fact that alcohol increases activity in the dopamine neurons in the mesolimbic reward pathway, as well as opioid cells that release endorphins. Both produce feelings of joy, pleasure, euphoria, depending on the type of activation. That's why drinking can be so pleasurable.
