Why do different hard liquors affect us differently?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) August 7th, 2010 from iPhone

I’ve been repeatedly told a drink is a drink is a drink. And although they may all have the same proof of alcohol, gin (a liquor that I don’t particularly care for) will knock me on my ass quicker than rum. And the buzz I get from rum is different than the one I get from tequila.
Why is this?
