What's the difference in consuming raw hard liquor & mixing it with a juice/soda,etc?

I would like to know what's the difference between consuming raw hard liquor and mixing it with a juice, say, orange and/or with soda,say, coke/Pepsi,etc. Is drinking raw hard liquor is gonna damage your liver more than the mixed drink does? Other than personal preferences which one is safer for liver/digestive path?





Thanks,|||It doesn't matter if you drink alcohol alone or with a mixer; it has the same health effect. It just tastes better and is easier to drink with a mixer.|||It depends on how much liquor consumed. If you drink two mixed drinks with half a cup of vodka, it would be the same as one cup of just vodka. Your liver is also affected by non-alcoholic drinks, though, don't forget that. However, if mixing drinks keeps you from overindulging, then by all means, mix your drinks.|||mixing dilutes it more so the liquor isn't quite as strong. i think this will make the alcohol's effects slow down, like not come on as fast. however, be careful, because it's easy to lose track of how many drinks you're having when they all taste like juice.|||One isn't more safe then the other. Mixing just tastes better
