Alcohol / Drinking Question.

[Straight Success]

Do different type of alcohol (ie: beer, cognac, vodka, brandy, rum, wine, etc.) change your behavior? If so, explain?

[Leung]

Do you mean if drinking wine will make you act self-absorbed or narcissistic? I wouldn't say so, it's just a matter of taste.

When i tried Sake or Soju, i didn't turn into anything else. As far as i can tell i've been the same as i ever was still liking and doing the same things as before.

^^^ Its just that most self-absorbed or narcissistic people like wine. And rednecks like beer.

When people say tequila makes me _____. It’s not true. Drunk is drunk. I’ve been drunk on about everything there is to be drunk on. Alcohol is alcohol, some just get you drunk faster than others.

Beer makes me happy, goofy and funny for the most part. It's not until I've had a lot and I start to become the loud belligerant (sp?) type. I'm pretty mellow.

Hard liquor makes me pass out. Like, I might have some shots or a mixed drink. Next thing I know, half way throught he drink I'm asleep.

I don't care much for hard liquor as it is, so I don't drink it often, therefore not having much tolerance for it.

I cut down my drinking so much this year, I think I only got like totally wasted drunk 2 or 3 times all year. Actually, the only 2 times I can remember are new years 2012 and my friend's birthday in July. Once a week, or every couple weeks I go out to the pub with one of my friends. I typically have 2 to 4 beers over the course of our meal. Barely even get a buzz off that.

Lol. Yeah! My question was, with better wording, do different types of alcohol change your behavior after consumption.

I've been reading, but need some community input.

If you ask me, no. Look at the science in it. How can it?

The only difference I can see is if it’s been fermented (beer) or if it’s refined alcohol (liquor).

[Straight Success]

If you ask me, no. Look at the science in it. How can it?

Different ingredients. Sugars, fruits and veggies, barley, etc.

[H311RA151N]

But thats not what gets you buzzed.

I can eat a pizza or a burger. I feel the same either way as long as I eat the same amount.

[Straight Success]

One will make you feel more sluggish, and you become more tired (better known as the itis) upon consumption of the burger. It's easier to digest pizza than it is a burger. Different bodily reactions after consumption.

Really? Thats new to me. It must be very small.

My family owns a bar and I’ve been there more than some people go to a bar in their entire lifetime so I’ve had plenty of time to observe people. The mean drunks are mean no matter what they drink and the criers are the criers. That’s my experience anyways.

But I would like to know more on this subject as the info you just gave is new to me.

Damn, I never thought so but its true. And it makes sense.

Beer makes me happy, goofy and funny for the most part. Hard liquor makes me pass out.

HAHA this is quite the opposite for me. Because of my dislike for cheap shitty beer, I rarely indulge in it but when I do, it fills me up and I feel pukish and gross and I just pass the F out.

We played 300 cup (like beer pong) recently and after that, I just felt like dying. Me and my partners were in and out of black-out too many times.

Hard liquor, especially mixed with sugary drinks makes me feel all giddy and a little touchy feely haha. Then too much and I'm back to the dark zone.

Haven't had too much of whiskey or tequila to notice any difference but I just thought your opposing behavior was funny.

[deevergote]

I haven't really looked into it, but I always assumed that alcohol is alcohol, regardless of the delivery system.

Just about any alcohol will just make me get louder and more talkative. Not much of a personality change otherwise. When I have too much, I get quiet.

[Soufkackicustom]

Iam normally lazy when I drink beer...and I don't much care for it...now vodka...iam wired up like a fat kid in a candy store. Bit that may be due to the large amounts of monster/red bull I consume with it

Thats what I thought too. Like I said alcohol is alcohol. But evedently there are people out there that say otherwise.

I know that Im the same no matter what I drink.

No. Alcohol is alcohol.
Tequila is an example lots of people like to use to argue with me.
When you drink tequila, you tend to drink a lot of it to party or whatever.
Hence, it's usually associated with parties and slutty women.

* Absinthe might be an exception, but only because hallucinogenic things are added to it.
