I've gotten a different buzz off the exact same drink at different times depending on how much I've eaten, how I've been feeling that day, how much water I've been drinking, how active I've been, how tired I was, etc. That doesn't mean that the liquor itself was different, just that my body reacted to it differently depending on my state at the time.
I don't buy that there's some kind of specific "beer drunk" or "liquor drunk" that everyone feels because of some special chemical content / property of beer as opposed to liquor. It's all just ethyl alcohol and your body processes it the same. The notion doesn't stack up either scientifically or in my own experiences of drunkenness (and I've gotten drunk many times on many types of drinks).
I guess drinks with a lot of sugar might be processed a little bit differently, but I doubt even that is very significant. At least I haven't experienced it that way.
