Confused??

okay so basically one time a friend and i shared one of those buzzball biggies which i think is equivalent to like 9-10 small buzzballs and we got super drunk but then the next time i drank i drank half a bottle of pink whitney and barely felt anything. i’m super confused by this because the buzzballs are much weaker than the pink whitney . does the liquor concotion in buzzballs just like make you more drunk or something???
