When I first got heavy into booze it was Whiskey. Somewhere along the way I started to mix them. Sometime later I went back to only drinking whiskey until I started drinking milk every night to calm my stomach. So then I went back to beer and only beer but ALOT of it. You can get a satisfied buzz if you drink enough of it. In the later years, I simply drank a few double malts to get the extra kick I needed. You know, those nasty cans of really strong fake beer? Yeah that garbage, enough of those and slow drink a few tastys.
So, in answer to your question, I don't think it really matters. It never stopped me either way.
