For example, some people same whisky makes them aggressive, gin; depressed, champagne ;giggly etc. Or is there another reason e.g being 'used' to a particular drink ?

For example some people say whisky makes them aggressive, gin , depressed etc. Some people can drink one spirit yet avoid another of the same strength.

It is the sugar content, sometimes the brewing process, etc. On occasion it is an excuse to be a git!

You have to remember that there is more in alcoholic beverages than just the alcohol. They are all made from something. Cane sugar, grapes, yeast and hops, wheat, barley, carbonated air, etc. These foods can affect how we behave. And then there are the mixers that we put with them. You drink a sugary alcohol and/or mix it with a sugary liquid, you're gonna get the sugar rush. Also, the effects of alcohol on a drinker is influenced by other factors such as how much and how quickly the alcohol is consumed, whether the person has food in their stomach, whether or not the person has mixed the alcohol with other drugs. Other personal factors include the person’s weight, gender, body fat level, tolerance, personality, level of fatigue, and mood.

If they affect you differently and they truly are the same strength then it must be due to other factors. Consider your physical and mental condition, happy, sad, tired, hungry, etc. Mixers that contain caffeine might make a difference, and also whether or not you have been eating. Perhaps even the setting might make a difference such as a bar, home or a party.

I cant drink wine without getting completely hammered on 3/4 large glasses, vodka i can drink a lot more of but it makes me bitchy and gives me a headache, can only do about 5 pints of cider before i feel really sick (only drink that makes me honk) and whisky makes me quite a mellow drunk\!

I find alcopops like WKD or VK make me feel more drunk than lager of the same strength, but I think that's something to do with the caffeine in them speeding up the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream.

Yes I do.
I don't drink like I used to, but there is a definite difference between say, a Tequilla buzz, compared to a vodka buzz, compared to a gin buzz, wine, bourbon, beer etc.
I can't explain exactly why, but it does seem that way.

It's biochemistry. Besides alcohol, they all have their own chemical components which affect your body and brain cells in different ways.
This is even more true for all of the non-alcoholic additives they put into alcoho-pops and other flavoured drinks.

I think that's a bunch of bunk. I always hear people making those claims. I say alcohol is alcohol. 80 proof is 80 proof.
Red wine has sulphates or something that can give headaches. Absinthe has some wierd stuff in it. Other than that, it's all alcohol.

Absolutely.
For some reason, I get drunk quicker from some types of alcohol, and others make me sick EVERY time. Here's my breakdown:
Vodka: Get drunk fast, wears off quickly, feel tired
Rum: My favorite... never get sick, very energetic
Wine: Feel very hot, stay drunk all night
Tequila: NO...no...no...........
Beer: Takes a lot to get drunk, but good for long-term partying, always makes me a "happy drunk"

Beer makes me sick. Champagne no probs. Different people have different likes and dislikes maybe thats why.
