Why do different types of alcohol seem to give you a different type of buzz? Isn't it just alcohol regardless of what type of booze it is?

It's a common misconception that when people refer to the Placebo Effect, they're saying something *isn't real*.  In fact, the Placebo Effect has to be controlled for precisely because it *is* real and has measurable results.  Different color sugar pills have even been known to have different degrees of effect, and saline injections outperform pill placebos by a large degree.  

If different kinds of alcohol affect an individual differently, it's probably because of that particular beverage's *reputation*.   It's an eye opening realization when you really think about it.
