Answer 2

What it is, beer takes longer for your body to absorb the alcohol. There is not much alcohol in it for the amount of liquid you are taking in. Whereas liquor taken as a shot is a small amount of liquid but has more alcohol than beer (most likely). So if you drink beer first then a half hour later you drink some shots the alcohol will affect your body all at the same time. If you drink liquor first the alcohol from the liquor will affect your body then you drink a beer it takes a little while for the alcohol from the beer to kick in. So that is why there is that saying, and it is very true.

Answer 3

I've heard the saying as "Beer before liquor, never been sicker, Beer before wine, feeling fine, Liquor before beer, never fear". However, I find that if I mix liquor, beer, and wine, i'm gonna be messed up the next day no matter what order I drink it in!!

I've always heard liquor before beer, you're in the clear. I have always experienced that it's true, and I think it's just a simple saying to help you remember to not mix certain drinks...you can't drink hard alcohol after drinking beer.

Answer 6

"Beer Whisky very risky,Whisky beer never fear "( English version)
It has to do with consumption/absorption rate.If you are drinking beer,then switch to whisky the chance of drinking to much are greater as you can may already be on the way to getting drunk and drinking whisky on top of it will increase the problem.As it is much higher in proof you can get into trouble faster or drink more alcohol before it hits you.Whisky then beer on the other hand is essentially opposite- your alcohol intake will slow down as beer has more bulk (liquid) and so you will (probably) drink less alcohol over the same period (as opposed to whisky).None of this is a guarantee however that you will not get drunk. Consult a weight/drink/time ratio table and know your own responses to alcohol intake.

Answer 7

Yes - taking any hard drink after bear will give adverse effects like hangover, etc. but soft drink (Beer) after hard drink is not very harmful. We used to say similarly-

- BEER AFTER WHISKY NO FEAR
BUT
WHISKY AFTER BEAR IS RISKY.

Anyway mixing different kinds of liquor is very bad and have adverse reactions.

Answer 8

Just don't mix them up - if you drink beer, drink beer, if you drink liquor, do that. Just remember, every ounce kills brain cells. And brain cells don't spontaneously regrow. Except in Science Fiction.
