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?

Alocholic here (now sober). Generally in my decades of drinking, my thought on it was this. If you drink liquor first (straight or close to it), you are getting the hard fast hitting alcohol fast. Not a lot of volume to absorb by your stomach. You get drunk fast, and (unless you’re an alcoholic) you slow down a bit then as the effects come on.
If you’re on beer, you’re drinking higher volumes of a less potent solution. This gets absorbed slower by your stomach, and the alcohol gets absorbed first leaving a lot of liquid there. If you switch to liquor now, you start turning that large volume of low alcohol liquid into a giant punch bowl in your stomach. Now you’re already intoxicated, but have a lot more coming, Even if you stop drinking, it will continue to get absorbed until its gone one way or another.
