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”.

Idk about happy/sleepy etc, but a few years back I developed a gallbladder issue and now if I drink red wine or dark liquor I *will* have an attack later that night. White wine, beers, and clear liquor never cause it. I suspect it’s the tannins being difficult to break down and causing my gallbladder to go into overload. Which is a shame because dark rum was my jam and I enjoy pinot noir, but I cut out drinking except for special occasions a couple years ago to lose weight so I suppose having less options makes avoiding it easier.
