ELi5: Why does certain alcohol effect people differently?

243 views

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 🙂
