Question: Are there different kinds of drunk!? Depending on what you get drunk on!?
When I get drunk off of martinis I feel like its a slightly different kind of drunk than when I get drunk off of beer!. also, wine seems distinct!.

There is happy drunk, sad drunk, angry drunk, chatty drunk!.!.!.!.
It obviously depends on the person's personality but during my time working in bars i found that some people definitely changed moods depending on what they drank!. Bourbon was the worst! And the drinkers even admitted that it made them aggressive!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
