I wonder if it's possible for beer to cause you to be sleepier than wine with the same amount of alcohol in it? And if so, what would be the cause?

  • An interesting question. I’m pretty sure the alcohol effects are the same, but usually a beer is more volume and makes you feel fuller.

There might me several effects that lead to beer being more sleep-inducing, but one of the most important seems to be: the hops.

Hops has a sedative effect and there are even papers on this topic, where non alcoholic beer is investigated for it's sleep enhancement effects.

    Very interesting. I appreciate your use of “might” and “seems” as this is just one, small study.
