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?

Answer 1

The amount of water and sugar (and other stuff) will change how it effects you. For example I was drinking whiskey one night and realised I was getting thirsty because I wasn’t getting enough water.

And yeah you will feel different if you get a big dose of alcohol at once to if you drank it slower.
