Does higher proof get you drunk faster?

I'm curious to know, does the proof of alcohol really determine how quickly it gets you drunk? I've heard people say that the higher the proof, the quicker the buzz, but is there any scientific evidence to back this up? Could it be that other factors, like how much you've eaten or your personal tolerance levels, play a bigger role in how quickly alcohol affects you? I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this and get a better understanding of the relationship between alcohol proof and intoxication.
