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”.

I think the easiest difference to quantify is ABV and how fast/slow you get through drinks. If you’re primarily a beer drinker, drinking wine for a night will probably leave you completely sloshed cause of how easy it is to drink with much higher ABV. Same with doing shots or generous mixed drinks for a night. Going in reverse, drinking beer might make you feel full quicker or you might not even realize you’re getting drunk because of how slower it can be to come on.
Differences between tequila vs whiskey I think has more to do with the vibe of the setting or shots vs mixed vs well. I think it just comes down to how fast/slow you’re taking in the alcohol.
