How come vodka doesn't work hardly as well as other drinks with equal or sometimes lower alcohol contents? Why do I and so many people I know get off the shits drunk from a glass of 40% alc whiskey, but not half a bottle of 40% alc vodka?

Not the guy you're arguing with, but perhaps you were drinking the vodka slower than you were the other things you have drank. If you are drinking a 40% spirit, since they are both 40% abv, you'll get equally drunk. You also have to take into account what you ate before you drank as well as your mood. But as far as the science of alcohol goes, 40% is 40%. Maybe the other spirit you were drinking was a higher abv? Maybe you drank it on an empty stomach? I have no idea

You can make people act drunk simply by making them think they non-alcoholic drinks you give them are alcoholic.
Drunkeness is heavily influenced by expectations / psychological factors. People who don't "get as drunk" with vodka have it in their head that vodka won't get them as drunk, which then happens because they expected it to happen.

If you are drinking vodka at a bar 9 times out of 10 it will be watered down. That's why people, especially women and fags, always say "vodka has no taste!" No shit retard, the bartender just served you a glass of fruit juice with a quarter shot of vodka in it.

My theory is that other spirits have traces of methanol and shit like that, tehnically they don't get you more "drunk" but they give a harder punch to your liver. Vodka is extremely pure in comparison, so heavy drinkers can feel a difference.

>> No.17844440

>>17844415
There is no reason vodka would have less methanol or other byproducts like acetone compared to other spirits. Low-grade vodka is full of those too. This thread reminds me of the "mandela effect" where zoomers think the Fruit of the Loom logo had a cornucopia

Vodka is distilled more times and is thoroughly filtered a gorillion times. Obviously not the cheap shit that smells like rubbing alcohol.

regardless drunk is like ethanol plus brain thats it

>>17844457
Most spirits get distilled at least 2 times, and the higher quality ones 3 times. Though I concede vodka is likely more often distilled 3 times compared to things like whisky or rum. However, filtration through charcoal is repeated for vodka to catch and remove microscopic particles that might give off color to ensure it is perfectly clear. Filtering through charcoal is a mechanical process, not a chemical one. It doesn't actively bind chemical byproducts while leaving the ethanol intact, it filters particles based on size.

Might be true if OP sips slowly at cheap vodka because of the ethanol taste but drinks whisky more quickly because he likes it better. More of the vodka alcohol would evaporate before he finished.

You need to do this a bit more scientifically. Pick two Fridays. Consume the same food and go to bed at the same time. The following morning drink a measured amount of vodka or whisky at the same time. 30 and 60 minutes later write down how drunk you feel.
