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?

Mixing drinks doesn’t make you sick. You could drink one beer and one wine and be totally fine.

Mixing drinks for a lot of people usually goes like this though – a few beers, a few mixed high sugar drinks, beers, shots.

The volume of alcohol and increased sugar is what’s making you sick, not specifically mixing drinks.
