Okay, I have known many people to describe a tequila buzz as being a clear buzz, and I have heard gin described as a fuzzy buzz, and beer too.

It has been years since I've had tequila, as there was a point even just thinking about how tequila burps tasted/smelled would nauseate me... had the same problem with jack .. heh.

Anyway, to my hazy recollection, tequila really did provide a better buzz - one where thinking and vision was clearer than with beer or e.g. vodka.

Is there any definitive answer as to the relative properties of tequila vs. other liquors? If there really is, how is this even possible? Since it is the alcohol that is getting you drunk, one would think that 80 proof tequila would be no different than 80 proof vodka ...

Just musing whether or not it's time to see if I can stomach it again yet :)

Obviously you've been drinking beer instead of tequila, and your mind is fuzzy.

tequila and Clear are 2 words never to be used with each other, because after you start drinking it NOTHING IS CLEAR

and no there is no proof that one buzz is clearer then another, i feel the same way no matter what i drink

Doesn't matter for me. Tequila is my poison of choice, but only because of how it tastes, mixes, and goes down.

I don't know how it works, but different drinks give you different buzzes.

Tequilla is known for being somewhat unique... but I don't know if I'd call it clear ;)

And that's what the fine art of Drinking is all about; how YOU perceive it. How "Liquor X" affects YOUR BRAIN.

Tequilla is the ONLY hard liquor that makes me black out. The ONLY hard liquor that makes my head split open and the beast inside emerge. All other alcohol makes me a happy, huggy-kissy drunk. Except Ta'Killya. :Q It's evil in a glass bottle.

Hmmmm. Okay. If I modified "clear" to mean "up" would I make any more sense or am I still sniffing glue?

Not tried jaegermeister then ;)

OMFG....that stuff makes me HURL. Well, all the times I've had it...at clubs..have been from "shot girls" where they pour it down your throat while the booobies are slapping you in the face.

Of course, you already have a beer in your hand so it's a "shot-chaser" kind of thing. Jagermeister SUCKS....Tastes like shiit, even 24 hours later when you're still puking.

BS.

i know you went to college, it happened, trust me, there were 5 others involved in it, one of which got busted for punching cars on the street, my friend will ripped the soap dispenser off a bathroom wall and had a bag of liquid soap, he pegged it at the window in our gym, mark was there for like 2 weeks, made a huge bang when it hit

I'd believe the 20 shots in 2 hours if and only if you were an overweight alcoholic.

Exageration of memory. You're probably not even aware that that's not the truth.

I could take down 20 shots in 2 hours, but I would throw up and pass out soon afterwards.
