How Many Truly’s To Get Drunk? The Truth About Truly Hard Seltzer

Jan 10 2022
Categories:Alcoholism

Seltzers are having a moment. And by "seltzer," we mean hard seltzers, like White Claw and Truly. If you're not already among the legions of devotees, you might be wondering: Just how many of these drinks does it take to get drunk? How many cans of Truly hard seltzer will it take to get you legally drunk?

If you're like most people, you have no idea how much hard seltzer it takes to get drunk. And if you do know the answer, then that knowledge probably came from a friend who got in trouble for getting too wasted and telling everyone what they think they know about drinking.

That's why in this blog post, we decided to find out and give you the details. Spoiler alert: It doesn't take many. Read on to learn answers to common questions about drinking Truly hard seltzer.

How Much Alcohol Is in Truly Hard Seltzer?

The fruity, sparkling taste of hard seltzers like Truly has made it really popular especially with the young crowd who do not like the taste of common alcoholic drinks like beer, wine, or other liquors.

Truly comes in a variety of flavors like mango, wild berry, black cherry, pineapple, and more. Truly has also launched new variants like Truly Margarita-Style and Truly Punch.

A 12 oz can of Truly hard seltzer only has 100 calories, 1 gram of sugar, and is gluten-free, making it an attractive option for drinkers watching their carb and sugar intake.

But how much alcohol content is in one can? A can of Truly hard seltzer has 5% ABV (alcohol by volume). This means that drinking a can of Truly is comparable to drinking most beers! The 5% ABV alcoholic content of Truly is also the same as the White Claw hard seltzer.

So if you think that you're drinking less alcohol by choosing Truly instead of beer, then you're wrong. A can of Truly has the same alcohol content as most beers.

How Many Truly Hard Seltzer Does It Take to Get You Drunk?

Truly Hard Seltzer

You're at a party and you're already on your second can of Truly... you're now wondering whether drinking more will get you drunk. How many more can you have before you get tipsy?

The truth is, with any alcoholic drink, there's no simple answer because everyone metabolizes alcohol differently. Some people are more sensitive than others, so they'll become intoxicated faster than someone else who drinks the same amount of booze at the same speed.

To answer the question of how many cans of Truly hard seltzer to get drunk, we will base it on what is considered legally drunk in the country. In the United States, a person with a  blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 is considered legally drunk.

A 0.08 BAC means there is 0.08 grams of alcohol for every 100 milliliters of blood. Usually, it takes around 3 to 5 alcoholic drinks for a person to get to 0.08 BAC.

So how many Trulys does it take to reach a 0.08 BAC? Since a can of Truly has 5% ABV like beer, it will also take around 4 to 5 cans to get to this level. However, you have to be cautious because again, it depends on your metabolism. A person weighing around 100 lbs may have a 0.08 BAC after 3 Truly drinks while a heavier person weighing 150 lbs may need 4 cans before reaching this level.

If you have indulged in more than 2 cans of Trulys, it is best to stay cautious and avoid driving a motor vehicle so you won't pose a danger to yourself and others.

Can You Get Drunk Off One Truly?

Truly Hard Seltzer

While every person has a different level of alcohol tolerance, it is unlikely to get drunk off one can of Truly. A can of Truly hard seltzer only has 5% ABV and one can of the drink typically raises your blood alcohol concentration by 0.02% BAC. To be considered legally drunk, you have to have 0.08 BAC.

If you have a very low tolerance for alcohol, it is possible to feel tipsy after one can of Truly especially if you have an empty stomach or you are tired. You should also be cautious about mixing medication with Truly hard seltzer because mixing alcohol and drugs can result in dangerous consequences.

Are Truly's Beer?

No, Truly is not beer. Truly falls under the category of hard seltzers. If you're wondering, hard seltzer is a combination of carbonated water, alcohol, and flavorings.

Many hard seltzer drinks are marketed as a more refreshing, lower-calorie alternative to beer - often targeting "health-conscious" millennials. However, when it comes to alcohol content, the alcohol in Truly hard seltzer is comparable to most beers.

Are You Addicted to Truly Hard Seltzer?

Because of the fun, colorful packaging of hard seltzers like White Claw and Truly, many fans, especially young adults, may think that drinking too much of these beverages is not considered alcohol abuse.

But while Truly hard seltzer may not look or taste like your typical beer or wine, that does not mean that abusing it will not harm your body. In fact, the fruity taste may even trick you into drinking more than you can handle.

If you find yourself drinking more than several cans of Truly per day and you can't seem to stop, then it's time to speak to someone about your alcohol use.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol abuse, help is available.
