Diluted my Wine or concentrated my Water?

[69 coupe]

Lately I've been mixing my Wine by drinking a glass then followed by a glass of Water.

In my drunken stupor
Have I diluted my intake of wine or concentrated the water and is it better for me?

To even things up lets call it a .75l of Wine at 14% & .75l of water at err 0%. have I consumed 14% or diluted to 7.5% & is it better to mix.

14% means that 14% of your 750ml is alcohol, i.e. 105ml, so if you add 750ml of water you get 105ml of alcohol in 1500ml which is indeed 7%.

Alternating water and wine is a good idea, but I definitely wouldn't dilute the wine before ingesting it!

Either way you're still imbibing the same amount of alcohol, though possibly over twice the timeframe.

If you had followed homeopathic principles and diluted it until there were no molecules of alcohol left in you drink you could have got drunk just by looking at it!

Or possibly not.

I think you have just uncovered a massive tax loophole........

Hmm so does that make the above the equivalent of drinking 1.5 litres or 3x 500ml cans of dishwater beer at 2.3% strength.

If so not a bad way to drink some nice wine.

You certainly will not have concentrated your water, as you will have plenty to pass, all rather dilute. Hope it doen't get you up in the night.
