Yes, I’ve found it to be true. I think it really depends on the person. Also, some people are naturally “mean drunks” or “happy drunks”. Just observations, like.

Not necessarily so. Different distillates and fermented products have different compounds, i.e., toxins and those toxins affect people in different manners.[/quote]
Those toxins aren’t alcohol though. You could put LSD in a Budweiser and catch a much different buzz than a plain miller lite would give.[/quote]
The question in the OP was whether you get a different feeling from different kinds of booze.
Plz read more good
I also found it to be true but I was really fucking drunk when I made my observations.
I always wondered if the metabolism of alcohol was affected by insulin response/blood sugar and that might be different if you’re drinking rye&coke, margaritas, wine compared to beer or straight liquor.

Alcohol is alcohol. Obviously different impurities and methods of preparation and distillation will have their own effects, most notably severity of hangovers. For example, a pint of top-shelf vodka will not produce as severe a hangover as an equal amount of mediocre dark rum.
If anything, the differences are subtle or negligible, as far as ‘drunks’ or highs are concerned. Mostly people are talking about differing amounts of alcohol. When they say ‘vodka makes me blackout’ they fail to realize they’re simply drinking more alcohol than their usual, more strongly flavored bourbon. Tequila doesn’t get you ‘higher’ than whiskey, you just drink it faster. Wine doesn’t make you more ‘mellow’ than gin, it’s just not as alcoholic.
One can’t draw any conclusions until amounts of alcohol consumed are equal. If six ounces of eighty proof tequila has a different effect on you than six ounces of eighty proof vodka taken in the same amount of time, I call bullshit. Thing is, no one pays attention to that sort of thing. It’s just ‘tequila fucks me up, bro’. No shit, you drank the whole bottle, fucktard.

3 glasses of dry red wine will make me feel sleepy.
3 shots of whiskey will not.
Both are 3 drinks. Your rant only applies to morons, not everyone posting here is a moron.

To be fair, it’s possible the boring and pretentious company that usually goes with wine drinking might play a role. Whiskey drinkers, on the other hand, tend to lean towards lunacy.

Proves little or nothing. Wines have varying amounts of alcohol, and each glass can’t be correlated to each shot of whiskey unless precisely measured. No one measure glasses of wine by the ounce, anyway. Take into account that you’re probably drinking red wine in a very different circumstance than you would be drinking whiskey in, not to mention the wine will be drunk slower and over time, likely with food, etc, etc.
Alcohol is alcohol. Saying one alcoholic beverage has a markedly different effect to another, important variables equal, is akin to saying apple juice makes you feel different than orange juice.

And the answer is no. Please discern intoxicated feelings more better.

Finally something I can agree with Texasguy on.

This. I find the idea also quite silly but have no doubt that the idea came about because of the different situations that people drink different alcohols in.
This thread reminds me of an Adam Sandler skit years ago where some dude was convincing his friends how fucked up he was but everything they gave him was fake. I wish I could remember the name.

Im talking a standard 8oz glass of wine.
1 ‘drink’ of wine vs 1 ‘drink’ of whiskey.
I dont drink often at all. Im aware of how these things affect me.
Circumstances be damned. Circumstances matter sometimes but Im telling you that a few glasses of wine will make me sleepy all the time. Ive drank wine at a bar and got sleepy. Ive drank whiskey sitting at home in the evening with company and not gotten sleepy. Obviously these arent double blind studies, but youre wrong to say that its proves little to nothing. When the same thing happens over and over it proves A LOT. Youre not going to tell people that they feel ‘wrong’.
Im a firm believer in Whiskey Dick

The only reason for different effects that I could see being valid, is if the carbs are what’s causing people to be tired/energetic. So if you think that rum and coke affects you differently than rum and diet coke, then maybe. But no, the ethanol from vodka is not making you feel different than the ethanol from whiskey.
