Do different drinks have different effects on you?

Locker10a

Dont get confused people alcohol is the same in vodka as it is in beer! Its not the alcohol itself that makes different drinks have different affects on you! Its all the other crap that goes into drinks!

For me i can drink vodka ll night and not a bother! Same with Bud !
Love After Shock gets me buzzin away But give me dark drinks like guinness whiskey jager etc and il be sick and have an unholy hangover!

I turn from Mr Bean into Chris Brown with a few drinks.

As in you can suddenly dance or you do a reverse Michael Jackson?

I am skeptical about those who claim they do

I'm in agreement with this man. However, vodka does 100% make me forget large parts of the night. I can have the same quantity of the same percentage spirit (or more) and remember 100% of the night. If I drink vodka and don't even get particularly drunk I will forget large parts of the night. I used to solely drink vodka and assumed it was just what drink did to you but after trying various other drinks I found that none had the same effect on me. It doesn't make any sense to me because alcohol is alcohol but it genuinely does make me forget even though I could be 100% fine on the night and in control. I can't explain it, googling can't explain it and tbh I don't need it explained as I don't drink vodka much anymore as I'm not a fan. It is weird to say the least and I hate people who say shít like I'm saying right now cause I think they are telling porkies but I know for a fact vodka has that effect on me.

Keeping all other variables pretty much the same (same foods, amount of sleep, mixers etc.) I'm fine with all spirits (that I've tried) but the next day I forget much of the night after vodka.

Whiskey ehehhhhh never again fell out of a cab passed out woke up in hospital never again MORTO! but hmmm to much of anything could probably do that

my friend would drink vodka and cry!! we soon put a stop to her drinking vodka

Another (ex) friend shouldn't drink any alcohol she turned into argumentative, jealous individual who created drama upset others and never fun to be around socially

other then my little experience with whiskey thankfully no real personality change with alcohol that I'm aware of lots of moments of eh stupidity cringe factor embarrassing moments!

Was reading drinksaware.ie or whatever it is awhile back and it claims that different drinks having different effects is a myth, but I dont believe that.

Red wine makes me sleepy, white wine makes me giddy and brandy gives me an nholy hangover that means I can no longer look at it. All other alcohol emphasises whatever mood Im in (usually the white wine buzz!)

My boyfriend is moody on whiskey and the life and soul on beer.
Vodka makes my best friend sick and irritable.

Would be very shocked at actual scientific proof to say there is no basis for it.

No

red wine makes me tired
white wine makes me goofy and make me say and do things I shouldn't say or do
and maybe a bit hyper
vodka makes me wild maybe tearful sometimes
alcopops/cocktails/shots/rum makes me fun
I get sick with beer have a poor tolerance for it but no problem with cider, if the beer has a similar sweet taste to cider then I am ok
Baileys makes me more chatty

Hahah well that is a possibility but I'd assume my friends would be kind enough to give me some stick for doing that! I do remember a good bit of the night but certainly not all of it! Any other drink and I can remember pretty much everything (provided I don't get in the absolute horrors).

It's really weird though because I could be just tipsy, totally fine and on the night I'd be perfectly fine + remember everything. In the morning I wake up and can forget people i talked with and things like that. If anyone has an answer as to why vodka does this to me I'd love to know it.

Lies.

Also, in the interest of putting this theory to the test I have deviated from my usual red wine in favour of champagne. It's a tough life, I know

Yeah I'd genuinely like to read a study or something on this subject. I'm of the opinion that alcohol is alcohol but as I outlined above vodka does have a different effect on me than any other drink so.... I guess I don't believe alcohol is just alcohol?? :pac:

Beer + Shots = Sick that night and a BAD BAD hangover the next day.

Cider + Cocktails = Great humour and very minimal hangover the next day.

Wine + Champagne = Robbing peacocks and dancing with people in wheelchairs.

Absinth mixed with poitin = where are my clothes and why am I in a skip?

I know madness!! Ya I definitively had those moments when people remind you of stuff or the dreaded ''flashbacks'' weeks after an event on my part namely embarrassing I also hate the fact that it makes us brave... usually wake up going ohhhh did I really say that!

Of course alcohol is alcohol, but I suspect different drinks do have different effect. Guinness, for example, hits me differently, maybe the liver gets preoccupied dealing with all the other stuff and so the alcohol gets to roam about your system for longer?

The Scientician

I think they do have a different effect but it's almost entirely down to the amount of alcohol you're imbibing apparently and very little else that's essential to the drink. I do find my hangovers vary wildly from "almost nonexistent" to "abort me now" depending on what I've had.

No

Cider makes me puke.
Tequila makes me puke-literally if I even smell it:(
Vodka makes me a crazy drunk
Wine makes me a happy drunk!

bnt

No

Absolutely. I once went to a party and took a bottle of Smirnoff Black Label - a really good vodka. It tasted really nice cold, but no-one else liked it, and I polished off about 2/3 of the bottle. I didn't even feel drunk, and walked home just fine, but I turned yellow and my liver was weird for the following week.

And don't forget the humour you're in. If you're pissed off/ tired/ hormonal/ depressed then alcohol is going to increase that by about a trillion zillion.

And I'm no Scientician
