Why doesn’t it hit me the same?

Am I not drinking fast enough? Everytime I drink 2 tall cans of Wicked I get drunk easily. Hell I can feel it after just a few sips. But how come when I drink a few shots of whiskey it doesn’t feel the same? I took 3 shots of Jack Daniels and it doesn’t feel like the same kind of drunk. I mean I feel it but it feels different somehow. Do different types of alcoholic beverages affect you in different ways? I just figured that with the higher alcohol by volume it’d hit me sooner.
