When you drink alcohol, the alcohol is getting drunk too.
This statement is not accurate! The term “getting drunk” is typically used to describe the effects of alcohol on a person who has consumed it, not the alcohol itself. When a person drinks alcohol, the ethanol in the beverage is absorbed into the bloodstream through the stomach and small intestine. It then affects the central nervous system, leading to the characteristic impairments associated with being “drunk,” such as altered coordination, slurred speech, and impaired judgment.
The statement is likely intended to be humorous. It employs a play on words by anthropomorphizing the alcohol, suggesting that the alcohol itself gets “drunk” when consumed. This kind of humor often relies on wordplay and the use of unexpected or absurd concepts to create a lighthearted or amusing effect. It’s a common form of humor that plays with language and our expectations, adding an element of wit or cleverness to the statement.
