I'm non-alcoholic but unfortunately consumed 30 ml of whisky (added 70 ml of water to it) in a party and felt little uncomfortable. does it mean by adding 70 ml of water i made the neat alcohol count to 100 ml instead of my desired 30 ml?

: The total amount of alcohol intake does not change but you only drank a more diluted alcohol content, i.e. you did not increase the total alcohol intake from 30 to 100 cc when adding the water.
