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

Stay away from wood alcohol.

i’ve always found wine to make a happy bubbly drunk

yes. from my own experiences i can say that different types of hard liquor will effect people different ways. for example I can drink vodka but if i try brandy i can’t think, talk, and usually throw up. wine makes me sleep differently than beer.

moral of the story, do not use in excess.

I find:
Beer: makes me lazy/full/tired drunk
Wine: (same as shockvalue) happy/bubbly drunk
Spirits: just makes me drunk fast….

Generally speaking no unless it is laced with other chemicals. The difference is in beer (about 5%), wine (about 13%), spirits (about 40%)is alchol content differences of course some product vary from this norm. Therefore you may feel drunker if your intake of ethyl alchol is higher.

If you drink certain Belgian beers, the difference in alc. content between beer and wine is minimal…

whiskey or tequila makes you belligerent a lot quicker than beer. if water tasted like wine we could jump in the river and stay drunk all the time. champagne makes me feel sexy.

I have to drink quite a bit before I get drunk, but whiskey (I love Jack Daniel’s) gets me drunk faster than beer. And like beer usually makes me just sit back and chill while whiskey (and tequila) makes me want to have fun!

I used to notice a difference (there’s a very special reason I do not drink gin anymore….or southern comfort), but as I get older I think it’s all the same and increasingly harder on my aging body. Drinking used to make me feel invincible, and now it makes me feel like I am definitely NOT a spring chicken anymore

I know that vodka can be unpredictable and you may be drinking and not feel anything at the time so you keep drinking, then later all of a sudden it hits you all at once

@nocountry2: how funny! i find the opposite is true for me. when i was young, i could drink whatever i wanted in large quantities with the same effect. now, i have strict limits on different beverages. after 2 beers max, i am seriously nauseous. rum is absolutely a no-no (one shot’s worth: i’m violently ill and pass out, not necessarily in that order!). wine puts me to sleep. everything else still makes me a happy drunk :D

I think champagne does the best job!

Yes is does. The sugar content of an alcoholic beverage combined with the percentage of alcohol has a lot to do with it.

i have always thought that tequila was the worst kind of drunk but as peedub mentioned the amount of sugar can effect you a lot. if you sit and chug blue lagoons you will feel a lot different than you would on beer

I think a lot has to do with your environment when consuming alcohol too. I’ve heard people say that wine gives them a chiller buzz, and I’m like of course it does cause you’re having a nice dinner or out on the patio- you’ve not in some dive pounding glasses of wine with your bros.

I’m sure they’re some empirical merit to the idea regarding sugar/alcohol content, but I think a lot of it is your environment and past experiences. I know so many girls that say tequila makes them go crazy- and it’s like no- when you’re in the mood to go crazy- you drink tequila shots, not the other way around.

Spirits makes me drunk fast, i get blackouts if i drink to much and i get sick the day after. Beer is nice.
