Do different kinds of alcohol make you different kinds of drunk?

Asked by bearfair (403points) May 8th, 2008

This question was prompted by elchoopenebre’s question about drinking gin. I’ve heard lots of people say that they have different reaction to different kinds of liquor- tequila gives one guy “crazy eyes”, gin makes you throw up, whiskey makes you angry, etc. I have never experienced this- no matter what I drink, I’m just about always the same kind of drunk (degree of drunkenness is a another story). What’s your opinion? Do you have certain reactions to certain kinds of alcohol? Is there some chemical basis? Are people just making it up?
