Anything to it?
I think people say that because whiskey gets you drunk a lot quicker. I think it's all in the bac, not necessarily the drink. I will say that I always had a bad reaction to red wine. Headaches, extreme tiredness and crankiness as well as hives. I couldn't even drink it when I was drinking.
