To spin a hypothesis into this as to why this is possibly true, think of beer as a walk, wine as a jog and spirits as a sprint. It will take you longer (generally!) to drink the same alcohol content from a pint of beer than it would from a shot of spirits. It can be inferred that one probably consumes alcohol at a faster rate in shot form than in pint form.
