For the alcohol connoisseurs, help me settle a debate

Well, now you are factoring in human behavior. (I CAN'T FORGET ABOUT SCIENCE FACTS!!! :) )

Obviously, if I were to get drunk faster, I'd get mixed drinks because there is less to drink overall. Of course, I am not putting in cost as a factor. Mixed drinks ARE expensive, and maybe 5 of 2 dollar beers will get you more drunk than 1 of 10 dollar mixed drinks. But then again people usually tip PER drink, so..

I better just stop thinking about this before I start coding a program that simulates the cost benefit analysis of alcohol/drunkness for the average drinker.

The sad thing.... I have already done that.

Really interesting comments. Thanks, everyone! So I think I can safely assume to a pretty reasonable degree that for as long as each of us are drinking 1 drink -- whether someone has a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, or a mixed drink -- and drinking/finishing at the same pace, we're all about even.

Roughly, but there are other factors such as body weight, food consumed, etc that have an effect.
