So, I'm drinking tequila tonight. I've been drinking margueritas for the past couple nights trying to fuel my creativity to finish a blog article I'm writing. However, I'm noticing that it's not helping. That got me thinking about how different alcohols affect me, and I'm wondering if others notice the same.
Red wine makes me into a voracious flirt, very horny, and very chatty (not my norm); thus, I abstain unless with my wife (trust me, it's better for all involved). Beer doesn't do much for me; it usually compounds my morose nature. I also don't like beer because it makes me feel bloated and I gain weight. Rum sparks me up...ready to party. Vodka and whisky make me very talkative and contemplative, as well as philosophical. I usually do my best writing after a few drinks with vodka or whisky.
2 beers usually buzz me, after that i'll get sick. tequila i used be able to drink lots of it and bacame a happy drunk now makes me sick.
martini i get very talkative and charming but after 8 of them i pass out
wine same as martini. 7&7s i get a good buzz,talkative,funny and horny.
But no matter what the next day sucks getting more "seasoned" sucks.

I don't find that the form makes much difference for me. I don't much like beer, although I may have one or two if it's a good stout or porter. I do enjoy wine, although it's more a taste thing. Even in college, I wasn't much for drinking to get drunk.
I also quite enjoy good whiskies (Scotch, Irish, bourbon, etc.), and am starting to get into good sake. I'm not so wild about brandy, gin, tequila, rum, vodka, etc, although I'll drink any of those if a high quality version is available. My father makes a serious high-powered whisky-and-rum-fueled eggnog for holidays; I do like that.
I do tend to get a bit silly when tipsy, and start to sort of free-associate and come up with random non-sequiturs. I rarely get very drunk. Like my mom, and her father, I seem to have inherited an effective immunity to hangovers; none of the three of us have ever had one. So that's nice.
I've also been making fruit wines for 25 years or so. I've made lots of plum wine, as well as orange, apricot, mead, kumquat, blueberry, raspberry, rose petal, and pomegranate.

I feel like we're all floating through a bizarre, transcendent DML afterlife.
My palette is not refined enough, nor my choice of beverage nuanced, for me to discern between any alcohol's relative effect on my brain. If I drink a lot, I get drunk. I'm a brute.
Marijuana, however, is quite different....although I've given up the reefer for all intents and purposes. I haven't smoked in nearly a year and have no plans to return to its hazy realities. But I remember very vividly the different frames of mind I would encounter when I was high versus drunk.
But this is a thread about alcohol. So... apparently I have nothing to contribute.
