It’s mostly just a function of alcohol by volume. It takes a certain amount of alcohol to get you drunk, but you can drink it a lot faster as 80 proof (40%) whiskey than you can 5% beer.
I always thought drunkenness was drunkenness as opposed to it being a spectrum. I had my first drink when I was 21 and hated the experience of being drunk, so I didn’t seek it out after that, but recently I had a situation where the outcome of getting drunk crept on me, except it felt only vaguely similar to what I remember. I actually spent a while debating with myself over if I was drunk or not until I had someone explain.
No? I’m interested to hear the details of this.

Water doesn’t get you drunk at all!
