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?

OP it isn’t mixing that is the problem it is how much you consume.

Beer being low alcohol content means you have to drink a lot which makes you full and slow down because your stomach is full.

Liquor being the other extreme allows for far more alcohol to be consumed quickly and without thinking. Add in that well made drinks mask the alcohol very well along with your intoxication and it becomes much easier to drink more *AND sugar is a major part of hangovers and…hey most mixed drinks have some or a lot of sugar in them (rum and coke, an old fashioned)
