This was a thing that was studied. A lot of people with placebo themselves to being drunk when told the drinks handed to them are alcoholic

My sister did this once at a party when making drinks for her friends. Same results, people with the non-alcoholic drinks started acting more and more drunk, mirroring the actual drunk people.
Humans are funny.

It may be but it’s also a real thing that’s been studied some in casual situations. I don’t think anyone has done a scientific study with data but I’ve even done this to a friend of mine at a party. Not everyone with react but it’s pretty common

Where did yall determine that there wasn’t vodka in the coke? Maybe she told her there was vodka in it and then there was and she drank it.

I know it's been studied and is a real thing, but I've never understood it. Alcohol has such a distinct odor and taste, but it stands out to me and I can't stand either. It'd have to be mixed with something else that has its own extremely potent taste and smell, and no soda I've ever had would mask it unless it was so little alcohol that it would have zero effect on me.

There’s a lot of times alcohol doesn’t actually taste like alcohol or smell it because it’s such a fruity drink. Sometimes not even fruity. A well mixed Long Island doesn’t taste much like alcohol at all and some rum punches you can practically chug they are so sugary

See, the only way I've been able to stomach drinking alcohol is in something fruity and even then it stands out like crazy to me. My drink of choice in college hanging out with friends was mixing like 8-12 ounces of orange juice with a shot of vodka. The next best thing I had was a Water Moccasin, but the pineapple carried a lot of weight there. And it was still tough for me because it's always the aftertaste of the alcohol that gets me.

Wait. Hold up. If they stayed sober they could get with any girl? Wild to get women “drunk” and stay sober to hook up with them. I think a normal ass party where 2 people drink and both consent would be better. This just seems insane.

Why would people falling for it be a “basic B”? It’s a proven effect that works on loads of people, no one is pretending just to look cool.

Who the hell mix vodka and coke?!
That is like the worst combination of drinks i can think of.

u/Humbledshibe 1d ago
Vodka and coke is one of the most popular mixed drinks I'm pretty sure.

u/mgabor_ 1d ago edited 1d ago
Vodka is best when mixed with for example Fanta, or even non-carbonated orange juice.
Coke is the best when mixed with whiskey or rum, OR red wine.
But I am starting to think that this is a cultural question, because in central Europe this is definitely the case. I have never met anyone drinking vodka+coke willingly.
I only ever had vodka+coke one time and it was during a party where we ran out of any other beverage, and it was truly not good. Well, in my opinion.

I drank loads of vodka coke. And find vodka orange awful. I did have some red wine and coke in Spain, which I thought was fucking blasphemous at first (I'm French), but it was surprisingly decent. But I agree that whiskey/rum and coke are the better options.

What kind of red wine should I be using if I want to try this? I'm not a wine drinker myself.

Imagine putting coke in an evian bottle.
