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?

Generally there is no difference just because it’s a different drink. Now there are exceptions if you’re drink contains another drug in it (like copious amounts of caffiene) but if we’re just talking alchohol, it’s the same.
What can be different, is the correlation of when and how you drink those different drinks.
As an example, when I drink beer, it’s ussually slow and steady. A single “Tall Boy” can will ussually last me 2 hours or so and I normally just have one. The result, not much if any buzz.
That said, if I’ve had a rough day and sit back to some nice whiskey, It’s ussually a 3-4 ounce pour and will get sipped over an hour and I might have two or in some rare cases three drinks. There’s a big difference there in terms of the rate of consumption, the total amount consumed and my mood when consuming it.
Turn to something like Tequilla, and it’s something I’m going to ussually drink once a year, at a special occasion, with friends when we are already pumped up. It’s going down as shots and ussually far too many of them. Again, rate of consumption, total consumption and the mood I’m already in is different.
