I do find I feel slightly different drunk on beer vs spirits though.
I do find that tequila makes me vomit though, more or less everytime and straight away, there is nothing interesting about that though, I just drank too much cheap tequila and now my body won't have any of it.
Well wine has sulfites in it, and different people respond to sulfites in different ways.
Set and setting are everything. If I'm feeling lonely and depressed, alcohol- any type of alcohol, is only going to exacerbate the situation.
I usually drink wine when I'm around my family, so perhaps that's part of the reason I associate it with feeling exhausted.
I don't know if different liquors affect me in different ways, but I will say liquor in general acts much more "insidiously" than beer does. I'll have six shots and notice some perceptual quirks, but no psychological sensation of being drunk. Much more after that, and it catches up with me in a hurry!
