I’ve seen people claim that getting drunk off of X causes them to party, while getting drunk off of Y causes them to sleep, and getting drunk off of Z causes them to be more depressed, but X causes them to be more happy, etc.
Is this actually true? If so,
– I presume it’s dependent on the person, so what physical or mental differences in a person make them more or less likely?
– What about the alcohols could affect this?
– How does what you mix it with take a role? (Like do Citrus mix-ins have a different effect than caffeine mix-ins, etc).
If it’s not true:
– Why do people claim that it’s true so fervently?
Edit: So the consensus seems to be “The difference comes from the atmosphere and emotions you have going in. The alcohol itself likely has little difference. However, some alcohol has more or less histamines, melatonin, or are often paired with things with more sugar or caffeine, or contain more or less fluids to hydrate, so these all may play roles”.
In: Chemistry
As a poly addict, ethanol is the drug and it’s the only part that matters. Tequila, vodka, whiskey etc, it all tastes different but it has the same effect.
Now if you’re fermenting other things like sassafras or mugwort or Hawaiin baby woodrose then you get some other chemicals involved but as far as liquor store spirits are concerned it’s all the same, people just need an excuse to do what they’re gonna do.
