The various benzos are different in effect-- couldn't tell you why, but I've only liked two and the rest made me feel like rubbish. Clonazapam I did not like, and I'd rather a shot of whiskey that it.

I suppose if you don't overdo or feel worse later or in the long run, lots of people find whiskey works fine.
