You can’t get as drunk from beer or wine as you can from hard liquor. Why is the preceding statement a myth?

Because it depends on how much you drink.

Explanation:

Many drinkers believe that different kinds of alcohol create different personal reactions. These beliefs are sometimes very old; gin, for instance, was known as "mother's ruin" in 1700s England because it was believed to affect women more than men. However, experts tell Bustle that the idea of experiencing specific symptoms depending on what you're drinking, being "beer drunk" as distinct from "wine drunk," for instance isn't necessarily based on fact.
