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 am not an expert in this manner and could easily be wrong, but this is my understanding:
It’s about the environment and scenarios presented. Usually when people get different alcohol, it’s for different reasons. If you only have tequila in shots, that’s gonna hit your body different than a beer or wine that gives you plenty of fluid besides the alcohol. Plus the alcohol you get from beer and wine is more spread out unless you are chugging it.
Really I think it boils down to: why are you drinking (sadness, at a party, etc), how much and how fast do you drink it, how much non-alcohol liquids is involved, and how much food is involved.
