I’m not a huge drinker. People always talk about getting different kinds of drunk on different kinds of alcohol. To your body, isn’t alcohol just alcohol? Sure, proof would matter, but does your body know the difference beyond that?

It’s just ethanol, anyone who says otherwise is completely wrong. A few people here are stating things like subtypes of alcohol and different mixers, this is complete and utter nonsense as the psychoactive properties are negligible in the quantities consumed (other than ethanol). The only somewhat caveat to that is that doing drinks with sugar in them can make you less drunk and low blood sugar can make you feel much more drunk.

The real reason is that people typically choose what they are drinking based off of their mood

Bad day = Whiskey

Party Funtime = Tequila

“Lets get ripped brah” = “lets mix Jaegar, Fireball and jetfuel and butt chug it”….then the next morning they say, “fireball makes me act crazy”
