Does drinking water after drinking wine make you drunker, or get you drunk again, and why?

I've been a fan of wine for a long time. I have many friends that say wine is great, because after drinking wine, you can drink water, and get drunker or drunk again. Or after a night of drinking wine, in the morning if you drink water, you'll get drunk again.





Being an avid wine fan, I have yet to ever experience this amazing phenomenon. So, is it true, and if so, why does it work.|||I am an avid wine drinker and this is simply not true. Period. The end.|||Not true.

|||These answers are wrong, but the effect is not limited to wine. If you get extremely drunk (regardless of which type of alcohol) and then drink a lot of water shortly after the drunk wears off (like within 24 hours), you WILL get drunk again. This has happened to me several times.

|||I think it is true to get a better buzz especially if u have waited through out the day especially when u wait and drink water after u already got a great buzz,the water intensifies the alcohol,according to how much alcohol u have in your system at the time, I work in a bar and i see it all the time

|||If anything, the water slows the absorbsion of the wine and may allow you to drink more, but the point of drinking wine is not to get smashed, but to enjoy the complexity and craftsmanship of the winemaster





otherwise, you might as well drink Boone's Farm or Ripple|||Never heard that one. Are you sure their "water" isn't gin or vodka?





Drinking water along the way will help alleviate a hangover the next day, so I'm not sure how that gets you drunk.|||Drinking water with wine has never made me drunker. There are a lot of myths out there to keep people from doing certain things.|||No, that's not true...if anything, it clears your system faster (if you drink lots of water), and prevents you from becoming dehydrated, so you won't have a hangover.

  1. I got fucking toasted on straight vodka the other night woke up the next morning sober slammed some water because I was absolutely parched and started stumbling and had to lay back down so I would say it's true although very strange experience
