Whips
Schwips (from schwippen , "to waver", first used in Austria in the 19th century) or Spitz is a slang term for a slight intoxication due to the consumption of alcohol . The term is also known in kitchen language , although alcoholic beverages play a role as an ingredient in food .
Schwips after drinking alcohol
The exhilarating, only slightly intoxicating and disinhibiting effect of alcohol is associated with a whip and not one that restricts the senses. In this sense, the expression of a ladies' topper is also used more often . Schwips, which is seen as a transition from “sober” to “drunk”, is generally accepted as socially acceptable and is generally not viewed by society as alcohol abuse - or only after a certain and noticeable frequency .
In specialist circles such as forensic medicine , an average assessment of the effects of alcohol consumption at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2 to 0.5 per thousand (‰) assumes a slight degree of alcohol influence, which roughly corresponds to the term "Schwips". The appearance can be very different because "the individual tolerance of alcohol is extremely different".
The state of light intoxication is also referred to as "tipsy".
