One customer orders the same number of drinks as another customer, but he is drinking vodka sodas while the other customer is drinking red wine. Assuming the two customers are equal in most factors, which of them is going to get intoxicated more quickly?
  1. The customer drinking vodka sodas
  2. The customer drinking red wine
  3. It doesn’t matter - they will get intoxicated at the same rate
  4. More information is needed to answer this question
Explanation
Answer: A - The customer who is going to get intoxicated more quickly will be the customer drinking vodka sodas.

Carbonated alcoholic beverages get into the bloodstream faster than non-carbonated drinks. In this particular question, the vodka itself is not carbonated, but the addition of soda to it gives it more than enough carbonation to speed it into the bloodstream. Wine is generally not carbonated and therefore travels at a slower rate, though sparkling wines (like champagne) will obviously travel faster.
