Do you sober up from beer faster?

I’d consider myself a relative lightweight, and I follow all the rules like not eating or drinking water to maintain the drunken state, however even then I find beer wares off in an hour after achieving drunkenness, whereas liquor lasts for a good 4. I drink the equivalent amount of units in beer as I would in liquor in the same time frame yet i still sober up faster. (Or at least leave the peak faster)

Is this universal or just me?
