Spirits may make you feel angry, sexy or tearful, while red wine or beer may make you feel relaxed, say researchers.
They questioned nearly 30,000 people aged 18-34 from 21 different countries for the study in the journal BMJ Open.
All the respondents drank beer, wine and spirits, and many said each type of alcohol had a different effect on them.
While having a few drinks can be enjoyable, researchers hope their findings will help highlight the dangers of dependent drinking.
We have to discuss this, if only because it may explain Ethanol-Fueled's posts.

If you're going to test this, you really need to account for the rate at which the alcohol is consumed. Comparing the effects of a beer that is being sipped over 20 minutes to a 3 oz brandy highball that is gulped back in 1 are obviously going to yield different results, but it isn't a matter off the chemicals working differently. I absolutely don't doubt that people get different effects from different spirits, but then, people tend to sip a good whiskey over quite some time, while they drink clearer liquors often in a faster manner, either in shot form or mixed with a bunch of other ingredients that make it go down fast and smooth. The end result is that perhaps rum might make a person angry drunk when they drink it, despite the fact that ethanol is ethanol and it all works the same (at least, when the method of intake is also the same).
