But the alcohol is really the only thing doing the intoxicating (or BY FAR the primary thing...I concede that there may be some other ingredients interacting, but I'd say any effect there would be marginal at best), so suggesting that this alcohol intoxicates differently than that alcohol isn't really the same. "Hey, this expensive top shelf liquor makes me a smoother and more sophisticated type of drunk than that other cheap one," is one of the craziest/silliest things I've read in a while.
