I can drink whiskey all night and have a lovely time in good spirits and no hangover the next day.
But I’ve seen otherwise nice people turn into demons on whiskey and people have told me it gives them severe hangovers.

Because people experience emotions differently, at a different time and different severity. Alchohol amplifies emotions so even if someone looks nice, maybe deep inside they’re harboring some anger and alchohol can make that anger come out. It also depends on the person’s brain as well, some chemicals work differently, for example me I had alchohol a couple of times but I really don’t like it, I just get tired then get severe anxiety the next day, while when I was snorting amphetamines and cocaine I felt calm and relaxed and in a way I did have more energy but I didn’t really want to do anything you know? Like how many people on cocaine go “crazy” or are super energetic, I am just chilling and playing video games and I get a very mild comedown, while some people say the comedown is absolutely horrible. So yeah it just effects people differently, I hope this helps 🙂
It’s not that certain alcohol affects people differently, it’s that alcohol affects people differently.
Alcohol is alcohol, the difference in effect stems from how much is consumed and how quickly it’s consumed—and also if there are any mitigating factors such as greater body mass, whether you’ve eaten etc, and how quickly it’s metabolised. This all determines your blood alcohol level.
Social factors or the setting may impact the quantity of alcohol that is consumed, and how quickly, and your mood may also play a part in playing with those variables.
In the same way, social factors and the setting will determine what you drink, and what you drink may affect how you drink it. This makes it easy to mix up the causal reason as being the “type of drink” to explain why people act differently when they drink different things.
You may have heard people swear that “tequila makes me angry”. Its simply not true. It’s nothing to do with the tequila, it’s that you’ve done 10 shots of it with your friends who’ve also all done 10 shots of it in 2 hours
It also depends on your overall health – if your body is healthy, particularly hydrated and full of vitamins and minerals, processing out the alcohol won’t mean as much work vs if it was already in a tired / bad shape -> hangover from lack of water/electrolytes/etc.
Whiskey (especially Bourbon) has a lot of varying proofs than say tequila or vodka which are gonna hover around 80. Soon as you start sipping whiskies, proof (measurement or alcohol concentration) goes up. Bourbon starts at 90 and can easily get into the 120s. The latter drinks are also accompanied by more mixers (sugar) than whiskey drinks. Sugar affects the body’s ability to metabolize exclusively alcohol.
Alcohol is effectively a poison. All bodies deal with being poisoned somewhat differently, to a certain extent, based on genetics and regular exposure to said poison.
Theres also different quality of drinks. I can drink high end vodka, tequila or whiskey and be totally fine the next day but If I drink that 7.99$ plastic bottle of vodka, Ill be sick the next day. I think it also comes down to the type and qulaity of sugar.
Hydration/Dehydration levels, consumption speed, food intake levels, digestive/metabolic rates, blood type. Aside from the alcohol…Different alcohols contain different levels of sugars/ingredients as well. So these many variables affect how peoples systems react. There could also be allergies involved for some, like those allergic to grains but not necessarily knowing that’s what’s causing their issues when they drink.
I also do not get hang overs.
Sorry, seems like different booze maybe isn’t that different, according to some. I know beer buzz is far different than rum for me..It may feel different for many reasons but the additives can affect how alcohol is processed and change it slightly. All research says it’s the same however.
