If it goes down easy, a person may drink more in less time. Thus more alcohol consumed in a given period of time versus something that they'd drink more slowly. If I suck down a fruity tasting drink with 3 oz of rum in 10 minutes it may feel like it had a stronger effect than if I slowly sipped that 3 oz of rum for 30 minutes or so. That rate of consumption thing you mentioned. The original post didn't mention if the drinks were being tossed back in a somewhat equal amount of time. It was mentioned that one of the drinks was a personal favorite so maybe it was disappearing at a faster rate then the comparison drinks.
