I could only explain it as such that we may drink different drinks according to the setting and mood we're in. I would never drink tequila at a formal work function, where champagne/bubbles is totally acceptable. And I have to be in the mood for hard liquor, so I most oftenly go for wine/beer. So perhaps that determines the way we act, rather than the sort of alcohol.
I can definitely see how the settings that are more likely to have one kind of liquor over another could influence the energy and what level of drunkenness is acceptable, and how that would relate to feelings people would relate more towards certain drinks. Thanks
I haven't done formal research on the topic, but as far as I can see this is correct- alcohol just lowers your inhibitions and makes you more suggestable, therefore easier to influence by your enviroment- you're way more likely to be depressed and sipping whiskey slowly by yourself than partying with Coronas with lime.
It would be interesting to look at regional ideas of what different alcohols are appropriate for and see if the "effects" change with it
