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?

“beer before liquor never sicker” if you have 2-5 beers and have a nice buzz, but then throw in a couple shots or mixed drinks with the equivalent of a few shots, it’ll put you over your limit and you’ll likely have a nasty hangover.

Liquor before beer, you’re in the clear:
The opposite as before. You take a couple shots to get a buzz going right away, and then just keep it going with low alcohol volume beers.
