Answers:
Yes, some alcohol will kill you before you have a chance to get dehydrated from it!.

It is quantity, not type!. There is only one drinkable type of alcohol (ethanol), methanol will make you blind or kill you!. Isopropyl will just kill you (rubbing alchol)!.

Yes, there are different physiological effects from different TYPES of alcohol, however with all but ethanol, the dehydrating effect is the least of your worries!.

If you drink 10 shots of whisky, you will get more dehydrated than 1 beer!. However, if you have 10 beers (in "standard drink" equivalences) or 10 whiskies, you will get just as dehydrated because you have had the same quantity of alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No you donkey!. All alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body and the more you consume, the more you dehydrate!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All alcohol has some type of effect!. The stronger the alcohol the more of a dehydrating effect!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
