Can anyone convince me that the whole "different drunk from different alcohol" has any real scientific basis? I've just never really felt like I act any different on different types of alcohol. No matter the type of liquor or beer, I just lose some social inhibition and motor function, I don't really feel emotionally any different than I usually do when I'm drunk.
It’s probably more to do with how strong each one is - wine vs liquor, for example, and if you drink them faster or slower and if there’s a mixer with one type vs wine, that’s drunk by itself.
So not so much the what, but the how.
That's true, I always assume the same level of drunkenness when people talk about different liquor, but maybe people get different levels of drunk and end up feeling one level more than another depending on drink
People can form strong psychological associations with alcohol too. Get blackout drunk a few times on tequila in college? That person is more likely to tell you that tequila hits them harder than other liquors, or that they can't drink it because it makes them sick.
After I've had a bunch of jaegarbombs I hurl so bad that policy in my house was written. Does that count?
