It’s practically gospel among partygoers: One kind of drink can make you feel totally different than the next. “The only alcohol that doesn’t cause me a killer headache or night full of embarrassing moments is vodka,” says Irma Stefanova, a model and fashion blogger. “It energizes me, and my thoughts are clear.” But on tequila, wine or whiskey, she says she ends up feeling disoriented or doing things she regrets.
Plenty of people share Stefanova’s hunch that your choice of drink affects how you feel and behave. But for the most part, experts say, alcohol is just alcohol, whether it arrives in a beer can, a champagne flute or a shot glass.
