How many White Claws to get drunk?

White Claw doesn’t really taste alcohol but we have seen each can is the same a shot of vodka so just how many would you need to drink to get you drunk?

The CDC states it takes the average 160lb adult male, 4 standard beers to get drunk.

A standard beer is 12fl oz and 5% ABV which is the same as a White Claw. The 4 White Claws have to be drank over 1-2 hours.

If you are a female or lighter then it will take less White Claws, if you are a significantly heavier male, it may take 5+ White Claws to get drunk.

Can you drink White Claw and drive?

The legal definition of being drunk is the same as the DUI level. If your blood alcohol concentration is higher than 0.08% then you are deemed drunk and not allowed to drive.

This means that it would on average take 4 White Claws before you would blow a DUI on a breathalyser.

This doesnt mean than drinking 3 White Claws and driving is safe, it is not. There is no safe level of alcohol and driving as even small amounts can impair you.

These are the effects as your BAC rises but staying in the legal zone

• 0.02% – Probably the lowest measurable BAC where you can track any brain issues. You may feel more relaxed and potentially make poorer decisions.
• 0.05%: When you hit this BAC, your behaviour will may become over exaggerated. Speak louder and gesturing more are common. You may also begin to lose control of small muscles like the ones that control your eyes leading to blurry vision.
