While some might argue that this is all in your head, I agree that there is something chemical going on.

I believe it has something to do with the "higher alcohols" present in most of these beverages and the sugars as well.

One could also assume that with the exception of neutral grain spirits, there have to be certain chemical remnants of the primary ingredients present that could contribute to the effect the drink has.

However, I think that body chemistry should have an equal role in this as well. I've seen some people turn into raving lunatics from consuming red wine and later hear them complain of the massive hangover.

I, on the other hand, find red wine to be the easiest buzz to cope with and also the easiest to shake. Which is a handy thing when you are pulled over for speeding in a small town in the middle of nowhere at 3:00 am and your friend has certain "items" hidden under the passenger seat of your truck.

Good times, good times.
