    It's not a matter of proof, it's a matter of tequila. Alcohol will get me drunk, but tequila makes me drunk and stupid. Big difference.

    Vodka I'm okay. Tequila I somehow conditioned myself to vomit within 30 minutes of drinking it.

    There's not really a difference between the effects of different types of drinks. Beer, wine, tequila, whiskey, vodka, etc. will all have nearly identical effects if they contain the same amount of alcohol.

    Most of the effects of alcohol have nothing to do with the drink itself, they're more about what you expect to happen. That's why people who think they're drinking alcohol but really aren't will still act drunk, and in societies where the belief that alcohol reduces inhibitions isn't common, it usually doesn't reduce inhibitions.
    Yeah, well. Just keep the tequila away from me, and you won't go home with a black eye. Or I won't. Whichever. :(
    Huh. Neat.

    From what I've heard, this is pretty accurate. D:

    @Ruth: I genuinely enjoyed reading the article. If only for the sole fact that performing an autopsy is shown to be a much more complex process than what television has shown.

    I am apparently going to be seeing this as part of my studies within the next couple of years... So very dreading it after hearing personal recounts from my seniors and then stuff like this... T____T Going to be majorly scarred. D:! Just seeing cadavers put me off food for many months and now I'm vegetarian ever since!

    Yeah I know, definitely not Mhaldorian in RL.

    I agree with this in terms of behavior, but not in every sense. Certain ingredients can cause physical reactions or symptoms. Some drinks make me feel sick out of the blue, some give me cramps in the joints in my jaw (kinda feels like lockjaw) and some make me feel much shittier in the morning if I had them.

    As to why that is, I am not exactly sure. There are a wide range of ingredients that it could be and I am not about to make myself feel crap on purpose to test them out. There could of course be other factors linked into this that I have not considered such as what food I ate along with them or my state of hydration, but I have had a general experience to avoid white wine, sweet wines, bloody mary's and anything with citrus juice in it. (a sore points since I love some of those)

    As for "acting violent" or "losing memories" I am inclined to agree that it probably has more to do with dosage and the nocebo effect.

    You enjoy vomiting?
