Do different types of alcohol really have different effects?
You may know it from the everyday Paulaner "talking and saying" that, for example, red wine makes you very tired, beer is generally the most sociable, and clear wine, although it doesn't cause a hangover as much as other types, is still the most adventurous.
Of course, I don't really believe all this "wisdom" myself and until now I thought that, as with any other substance, it might depend on the amount of poison and that this amount, depending on the type chosen, can have more "penetration" (or an appendix to overestimation).
Now I have to admit that depending on the type of alcohol chosen, the "feeling" of the intoxication really does vary and I'm now wondering if that's really true and what the reasons behind these differences are or if the whole thing is just a placebo on my part.

Jain. Ethanol is ethanol and the main active ingredient in all alcoholic beverages. In this respect, one could assume the same effect in all cases, although how quickly and intensely this effect sets in depends on the alcohol content and the speed at which the alcohol is consumed.
On the one hand, such drinks may also contain other substances relevant to the effect, but these are sometimes present in such small traces that they can hardly be held responsible for a changed effect.
On the other hand, the effect never depends solely on the substance itself. Every drug's effects also depend on individual physical, mental, emotional, and social factors, some of which can vary in different situations. Even what others say or what you're presented with in an advertisement can influence your own expectations and ultimately affect how something affects you.

Es kommt darauf an wie stark der Alkohol ist.
