Topic: Different drunks from different drinks.
Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago #38,908
Alcoholic beverages are all made from plants of some sort, and plants contain thousands of different phytochemicals, only some of which we even know or understand. It is my hypothesis that drinks made from different plants, produce different phytochemical effects on the body, and thus make one feel a different kind of drunk. For example, I certainly feel more intellectual when I drink wine than, say, tequila.

No, this is a hypothesis that I have held for a long time, based on anecdotal evidence.

It may also be one's perception of the drink that affects their behaviour whilst drunk.

Yes, that is certainly possible. The reason I Am not sure about that, however, is that I first noticed these different effects when I was a teenager and drinking, before I even knew any of the lore or perception of certain drinks.

I think hypothesises are generally supposed to be longer than --2-- 3 sentences

Not necessarily. A hypothesis can literally just be "x will affect y in a certain way". Obviously the explanation behind how it works usually requires much more elaboration, a hypothesis can just be the basic idea.
That's how it works in psychology, anyway.

Well liquor gets you drunk quicker due to the higher alcohol content over a shorter period of time, whereas you take your time drinking a beer.

Green, why are you saying "liquor"? You're British. We don't use that word. Americans do.
I am saddened you would betray the Crown like this.

I also say candy and soda. I've been saying it for years. Also, I've been spelling words like color without the u.

Well, don't. You aren't American.

Usually, both the z and s spellings are acceptable in British English, though. The Oxford English Dictionary actually prefers -ize spellings in words like realize. It's a common belief that -ize was a US invention, but it wasn't, it's just -ise is massively more popular.

Sweets and fizzy pop sound retarded though. Candy and soda are redundant words in British english.
