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?

>liquor before beer. You’re in the clear
Alcohol takes time to get into your blood and impact how you feel, since it needs to get into your bloodstream through your digestive system.
Therfore, when you stop drinking, you will continue to get drunker than you were, because the alchol in your stomache will get into your blood.
If you are already drunk, and then drink beer, then your stomache can only fit so much beer, and so you won’t get way more drunk when you stop drinking.
If you are already drunk, and then drink liquor, you could accidentally drink a lot of liquor, and might therefore get much much more drunk.
If you drink too much, your body can try to vomit to clear your stomach, and avoid more alcohol reaching your blood. However that reaction takes time, and if you were *nearly* drunk enough to vomit, and then drink spirits, you might pass out before vomiting. In that case, you might either not throw up at all (and get dangerous levels of alcohol into your blood as the liquor in your stomach is digested), or you might vomit while unconcious (which can cause you to choke and suffocate).

One common argument is that if you mix your own drinks, it is very easy to make mistakes with the arithmetic (or not bother with it) and not know how much you are drinking.
