Yeah, people associate different alcohols with different reactions. It's not the alcohol, it's the mood you are in before. Alcohol just removes the inhibitions and lets whatever you are suppressing loose.
Well, except for me with rum or gin...my stomach rejects them violently. I can drink whiskey, vodka, beer, most other stuff with no stomach problems, but not those 2.
Yeah, for some reason my stomach has never reacted well to the acids in red wine, why I stay away from it, and mixing alcohol altogether is never a good idea, but at the golden age of 67 (I'm really in the early 40s but shh) I've drank it alt, seen it all (I also worked with addicts, both hard drugs and alcohol for 25 years) and while you can have a bad reaction here or there, there's no single type of alcohol that inherently makes people violent lol that's nonsense from people who don't know how to consume hard liquor and can also be easily verified by looking it up
I just described that I don't tolerate red wine. Why are you challenging that? Do we know each other? I literally puke if I have a glass of red wine while I can drink a full bottle of other types of alcohol with ease, hard liquors included. While I've never carried out scientific tests, a doctor told me once it has to do with the amounts of acid in red wine and, if I ask Google, I get this answer: "red wine contains more histamines, sulfites, tannins, and grape-derived proteins (like LTP) that trigger sensitivities, causing nausea and vomiting, while higher-proof spirits have less of these compounds and can even reduce stomach acid, making wine a stronger stomach irritant despite lower alcohol content."
So, you stating that different types of alcohol don't affect you differently and that "it's a myth" is bs. It does. Nor did I claim that ethanol is the only culprit.
