Do People Really Get Intoxicated On Bailey's Irish Cream?

I'm serious. I think some of the people who say they do are having hallucinations, and not from the booze.

17% alcohol, so just barely stronger than a big red wine. 3 shots equals a short pour of wine, and I'd have barfed long before the third shot. I can't imagine that it is likely to keep enough Bailey's down within a short time period to have any material effect on the nervous system. And I know there are a lot of lightweights, but the Bailey's is extra lightweight, given how much one typically consumes, which is often one, and those are the most likely people to say they're tipsy.
