You get all kinds of crazy stuff, ethyl alcohol, methyl, isopropyl, butyr alcohol. Also, things like hops used in beer have acids and flavanoids. And the list goes on. I think i even read somewhere that wine tends to have minute amounts of GHB in it.
I've heard about GHB. Could be why wine is known to have a happy drunk. I'm not sure how much is actually in there though.
Other alcohols probably aren't common in store bought booze. Unless you're in China.
As far as I know, nothing else you listed has any psychoactive effect. Hops just has some mild muscle relaxant effects and the amount in beer isn't really enough to notice it over the beer.
This leaves so much to be accounted for. Like why do people think whiskey makes them angry? Why is tequila considered the xanax of alcohol? Why do people think beer before/after liquor matters at all?
I've yet to see a solid reason. Alcohol has been studied so heavily, you'd think we'd have found any psychoactive compounds by now. Terpenes, flavinoids, tannins, and etc may add to the uniqueness of a drink, but not to the actual psychoactive effect.
I feel like nobody would be able to tell in a blind test. It has to be placebo. -

I'm talking about different types of drunk. Like wine vs whiskey vs beer etc
no, as i discover it really depends on your bodys hydration level.
getting drunk while dehydrated will guarantee you a hardcore hangover.
passing out while drunk is another.
getting sufficiently hydrated before drinking and dont pass out before your body processes all the alcohol you drank will prevemt hangovers. -

for every gallons of alcohol you consume, an equal amount of gallon of CO2 is released. worse when its colored alcohols, like whiskeys and cognacs because then, trees, normally harmless oaks that do nothing but mind their own business of slurping up dioxides of carbon and refurbishing them into oxygen in the forests would have to be chopped down, turned into barrels and charred.
producing loads of carbon. and its dioxides. even worse is when these brandies and whiskies need to be pass thru charcoal enhancements, because then, blocks of virgin oaks would have to be chopped up and burnt, releasing an even greater amount of CO2, just to produce lumps of single use charcoal for charcoal enhancements.
we have moral obligations to stop drinking alcohols and its high time we let the need of the environment trump our need to be intoxicated. -

2020-04-19 at 10:25 PM UTCWould you get beer drunk, if you took a shot of everclear for every non-alcoholic beer you drank? Or what if you poured the everclear into the non-alcoholic beer? Still get beer drunk?
Somebody's gotta do a test to find out. -

Tannic Acid/Tannin is available as a wine additive, I think I have some somewhere with my old homebrewing kit. It's what gives red wine its tart flavour.
The big psychoactive in Absinthe is Wormwood, a herb, I coincidentally have a tray of it propagating in the next room. It's perfectly legal. The wormwood has been removed from the absinthe sold in some juristictions.
Whiskey is just ethanol that is aged in oak, so has some of the alkaloids from oak in it. No one knows what it is about whiskey that is so psychoactive, including extreme anger inducing, but it's real whatever it is.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

OKAY where is the evidence? I want to know what exact compound is causing these effects.
Wormwood is mildly psychoactive thanks to the thujone in it. Some mild dreamy feeling and relaxation. So there's something to be said for absinthe.
What are you planning to do with the wormwood? -
