First, let’s talk averages. A standard “cup” of wine is about 5 ounces—think a small juice glass, not a giant goblet. For most people, two to three cups (10–15 ounces) within an hour will start to feel buzzy. That’s where your cheeks get warm, your laugh gets louder, and your filter gets fuzzy.
But “drunk” is a spectrum, right? Fun drunk at three cups can turn into “where did my keys go?” drunk at five or six. It’s not a magic number—it’s a sliding scale with no on-off switch.
