Eli5: does mixing alcohols really make you sick? If it does, why?

I’ve always heard things like liquor before beer. You’re in the clear and that mixing brown and white can go bad, but why are you not supposed to mix alcohols?

I always thought of it like this. Beer before liquor is an issue for some. The reason why is beer goes down easier than liquor. Meaning most people drink it faster. If you start with beer, your pace will be to drink faster than sipping on liquor. Meaning, once you switch, you’ll drink liquor faster especially if it’s in a mixed drink.
