Different alcohol types definitely have different effects, I've noticed it in the past myself:
Beer: makes you gassy (all that carbonation), piss a lot, also makes me
feel buzzed very quickly. After a beer or 2 I feel sleepy, slurry and clumsy. Perfect drink for watching and shouting at football games but I don't like drinking it in social settings.
Hard liquor: Vodka, Whisky, Rum, Gin etc is perfect for being active or socializing. I stopped drinking shots, just usually make myself a long drink and sip on it. More alcohol in the beginning of a party in that long drink, with increasingly less amounts mixed in the longer the night goes. I can get a mellow buzz but still talk and think normally. I actually makes one more awake and active at the beginning amounts but you can crash hard if you overdo it. Perfect for parties
Wine: The holy grail of drinking with a woman. When I was younger I thought that giving women hard liquor cocktails would be better to lube it up, since it has more alcohol, but the effect was that they just drank it slower. Wine is actually perfect for mild socializing: you get a nice subtle buzz but the effect isn't as pronounced and for all intents and purposes, you're actually not THAT drunk because it's lower alcohol content, you simply feel very relaxed and bubbly. Also the one alcohol that makes you behave crazily. I dunno, hard to describe but when you drink wine with a woman, you're both ready to get into adventures. Some girls admitted to me that vodka does nothing for them, not even in huge amounts, but wine immidiately gets them horny and buzzed (can attest to that, I girl seriously drank ungodly amounts of vodka and behaved normal, but got some wine and was giggling and being tipsy immidiately).
Tequilla: Special category for this because I dunno, never had a good night when drinking tequilla
Even harder liquors (>55% alcohol): Now you're just drinking for the sake of getting drunk. Godspeed you alconaut

Kind of a wrong and useless observation. THC is THC, no? Different alcohols also have different side effects. They'll all get you shitfaced drunk in high enough amounts, for sure, but the journey there is different.
