Don’t know if this has ever been studied before. Has there ever been a study on why different types of alcohol and marijuana generate a different type of intoxication response? The mass intoxicant are always the same so why does one type of alcoholic drink or strain of marijuana create a different type of response in the user?
Generally speaking, weed tends to come with fewer risks than alcohol, but there are a lot of factors to consider. Plus, they’re unique substances that produce different effects, which makes side-by-side comparisons difficult.
Reactions to weed and alcohol differ from person to person.
Even just alcohol has different effect on different people.
Modern weed has been selectively bred to give different amounts of the active substances in the different strains. Each substnace can have its own effects-- antianxiety, analgesic, hallucinogenic, etc etc.
Fermented drinks all contain the same ethanol, the active chemical, plus variable contaminants that give each its distinctive color & taste, but probably don't influence the effects of the ethanol. Mixing the alc with sugary ingredients can infuence the way it's abosrbed and metabolized, so that might affect the effects it has on the drinker....(in metaboizing the ethanol, it must be turned into aldehyde and that's the "poisonous" part of the process. How quickly & how high it builds up in your system determines the course of things.)

My friends and I already did those studies in college. However, we never got around to writing a report on the results.
What I noticed is, with alcohol, you THINK you can do something (walk, drive) but you can't/shouldn't.

That's exactly right. Ethanol affects judgement earler and way more extesively than it affects reflexes or coordination. Those don't become imparied untill you're really wasted, but just a drink or two and your judgement decreases.
That's the basis of that T-Shirt about Tequila-- one drink I'm funny Two drinks I'm handsome Three drinks I'm strong and Four drinks I'm bullet proof.
