Beer vs. Whiskey: The Truth About Which Damages Your Body More

• The 'kick' or effect depends on Alcohol By Volume (ABV), not just the drink type; a small shot of liquor can equal a full bottle of beer in pure alcohol content.
• Consumption style matters: Liquor's high concentration means quicker intoxication and higher risk of exceeding limits compared to slow-sipped beer.
• Liquor generally causes worse hangovers due to rapid bloodstream entry and dehydration, but excessive intake of any alcohol leads to hangovers.
• Long-term health damage (liver, heart) is determined by total alcohol consumed over time, not whether it's beer or whiskey.
• Binge drinking is highly dangerous, leading to alcohol poisoning regardless of drink type; moderation is crucial for safe consumption.

Why It Matters: Total alcohol intake and consumption style, not drink type, dictate health impact; moderation is vital.
