My boyfriend gets really hyper when he drinks whiskey...?
My boyfriend normally drinks beer and I drink whiskey and cola. He started drinking my drinks instead of beer lately and I noticed he gets very hyper - talking really fast, lots of ideas about everything all of a sudden, can't sit still. Its like he's on drugs, but he hasn't done any. He drinks plain cola and he doesn't get hyper, so it seems like its the whiskey that's affecting him. If he drinks a lot of whiskey, he acts like a totally different person (mean, rude, disrepectful, hits on women who aren't his type), not like when he's drunk from beer (stupid, funny and social). Does anyone know why whiskey does this to him?

It's a combo of the coke AND Whiskey. Whiskey contains a lot of sugar. Being drunk and hyper closes down the reasoning part of the brain and he is only acting on pure impulse. Get him away from the the whiskey.

Experience and I stopped drinking whiskey.
He's just a bad drunk, If he drank enough beer he would probably act the same way.
Since whiskey has a much higher alcohol content than beer, he is just getting drunk at a much faster rate. If he drank enough beer to equal the alcohol content that he was getting from the whiskey, he would act just as rude and disrespectful.
Now I have a question for you: Why are you letting your boyfriend hit on other women?
Are you sure it's just the whiskey? Maybe it's the combination of the caffeine and whiskey. I doubt you can find caffeine free cola when you two are out and about, but why not have him switch to whiskey and ginger ale? It's also very tasty, and the ginger ale is caffeine free. Good luck.
It sounds like you two drunks deserve each other.
