No, engineers would be trying to figure out the optimal way to keep your hands as warm as possible while keeping the drink as cold as possible. Your conversation is more biology/chemistry major. At a community college.
You can't get drunk through osmosis because osmosis is, by definition, only applicable to water. It's the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration. Know what you're talking about if you're going to try an show off.
Yes, osmosis is a principal of Biology. Typically, basic Biology is a requirement in an Engineering program because it's a science based degree. However, osmosis is the process of water traveling down a concentration gradient from a higher concentration to a lower one.
The engineering perspective would tell you that the ethanol in the drink would have quickly evaporated, due to the high temperature of the hot tub's water, thus preventing an osmosis, if it was even possible in the first place.
