To think different types of alcohol make you feel drunk in a different way?!

[pollypopsocks]

Ok I realise that alcohol os alcohol and it shouldn't make you feel different but I feel very different after drinking champagne as opposed to red wine or even beer, AIBU to think it make a differnce?

I agree - there are definite differences.

It is well documented that for instance Champagne makes you happy cheery drunk, and Stella makes you extra fighty

The 'hit' you get from a shot of spirits is very different to beer.

And absinthe is supposed to make you go a bit weirdy, but I've never noticed it does, not that I've drunk it that much of it

What are you partaking of tonight?

Champagne! It was £29 reduced to £8 so I stocked up, hic!

I get very loud and up for a dance on cider but on spirits I just sit and talk, very dull!!

Absolutely. Wine makes me sleepy/slurry. Beer makes me chirpy. Whiskey makes me fume.

Have recently discovered that a little bit of Tequila perks me right up. If I've had 2 tequilas and I'm still not enjoying myself, it's time to go home.

YANBU! Spirits make me drunk but in a controllable way, champagne makes me drunk in a very silly way, and much much quicker than spirits. Pimms makes me want to fall asleep!

Think it does yes. Eeee when I think of how many bottles of beer I used to sink of a weekend, my liver would quiver now. Tis weird though, when I'm really looking forward to an event and drink the same tipple, I seem to get drunk and unsteady after about two. An ad hoc session though, I can have considerably more and not be affected.

Yanbu - I have often thought this.

I know full well I am a miserable narky fuck when drinking Jack Daniels.
Anything else I am stupidly giddy.

YANBU - also mixing drinks is baaaaaaddd

YANBU.

Champagne makes me giddy and happy...but one glass two many and I feel crazy and sick.

White wine makes me devilish.

Red wine gives me a woozy, mellow pissed feeling.

Spirits in general aren't good for me - I get bit OTT and loud, and get really pissed but think I am sober. Brandy in particular sends me doolally.

too many

I try to only drink rum because of the lack of hangover.

I completely agree.

I can drink bacardi or pernod all night long with no problems... whereas a couple of glasses of wine will give me a headache, and bourbon makes me hammered..

Where'd you get that deal polly?

And it's definitely different. Beer makes me sleepy (not that I drink much of it) champagne and wine makes me giggly and happy, and spirits don't do much at all.

I go dozy, mellow & content on red wine, champagne makes me silly and spitits make me go a bit wild! Beer just makes me feel sick and fart loads

here compares prices of wine, champagne etc, got the deal last week!

In my pub days DoMeDon, everyone knew a snakebite and black (lager/cider/blackcurrent) would do you right in

Only a select rich few could afford them.

Vodka used to be my poison but since I've got older I just can't handle it any more. Last time I had some I blacked out in terms of recollection but was still walking and talking. Very scary.

Before DC I once rang the police to apologise for something and they were very nice and confirmed that in their experience women usually cause situations after having partaken in spirits.

It is true that alcohol is alcohol, but none of us are downing pure ethanol, so there are different impurities in different alchoholic drinks.

Snakebite - those were the days [nostalgic]
