There is a woman who is 5'1" and about 120 lbs who drank 2.5 ounces of Malibu Rum (31% alcohol) and 2.5 ounces of Blue Caracau (sp?), which is 30 proof. This woman is my mother. She drinks this "drink" whenever she has a stressful day (5 out of 7 days a week). She claims that it has absolutely no effect on her, and that she just likes it because it's "pretty and blue." *rolls eyes* Yet in the next breath when she's talking on the phone to her friends, she says, "God I need a DRINK!" (trying to whisper so that I don't hear).
Please answer the following questions:
1. Is that enough alcohol to make a person of her weight and height drunk? Buzzed? I know it varies depending on the person, but please give me a rough estimate.
2. She's lying about why she drinks it, right? I mean you don't drink something with alcohol for no reason, do you? I said that if she wanted it just "because it's blue," then she should have put some blue food coloring in water, to which she gets angry.
