Answers: Liquor before beer your in the clear and beer before liquor and you will get sicker

^^ something like that

When you have liquor before beer, the gas in beer will bring the alcohol into your bloodstream faster and you will get drunk fast. If you have beer before liquor, your stomach will be filled and most likely bloated from the beer. When strong liquor follows, you will probably throw up easily.

Its a great rhyme but thats about it.
Dring a lot of anything in any way and you will get sick.

It really depends on how much beer you have after the liquor.

*smirk*

just tried both of them and trust me its not true. It should be more like this "liquor before beer and your vomit is clear, beer before liquor and you will become a tripper"

I'd say in my experience that statement has proven to be true about 90% of the time.

You should still keep your drink variety down, like whiskey and beer rather than whiskey, mudslide, 2 shots of tequila, a bloody mary, some champagne, then a beer.

it is true for some people

It's an individual thing. Trial and error will give the best answer.

It doesn't matter whether you're drinking beer or liquor, it's all dependent on the amount of alcohol in your system. Liquor will make people feel more ill after drinking beer because the alcohol from the beer most of the time doesn't fully absorb into your system for about an hour and a half (the reason people can feel sober after slamming several beers in a short time). Liquor absorbs faster so by the time the liquor starts to take effect, the alcohol from the recent beer starts to take effect at the same time. There is no way drinking one type of alcohol before the other will be the sole factor in whether or not one gets sick.

Here is how to make sense of that.

Let's say you are drinking beer to start and then you decide to switch to liquor. Chances are you are switching to liquor because you are looking for a higher buzz. Usually when you step up to shots and whatnot it is because you are trying to get messed up..Hence...Not feeling well.

Now, starting with liquor is the opposite. You may start to feel messed up from the liquor so you switch to beer in an effort to slow down the process. hence...feeling much better at the end of it all.

I don't know if it's true...but I'm sure as hell gonna try it and see

I have found it to be true, and have a friend who's a doctor who says that it makes sense. The reason is that when you drink hard liquor first your body loses a lot of water, and you become dehydrated, but when you follow it up with beer your body replenishes some of the water that was lost because it has more water in it, so the chances of you becoming ill are a lot less then if you drank the other way around. One of the main reasons that people get so sick after drinking is due to dehydration. Of course slamming numerous beer after numerous cocktails will still make you sick...

HORSE CRAP!

Beer, wine and liquor all contain the exact same thing ethanol alcohol. Mixing doesn't make a difference. What does is over doing it. People who mix also tend to drink way to much.

This whole myth started because someone didn't want to take responsibility for their actions and admit they shouldn't have consumed that much alcohol.

Ethanol is ethanol is ethanol.

Ethanol is what gets you drunk. It does not matter one whit if the source of your ethanol is wine, beer, or hard liquor. It doesn't matter if your hard liquor is bourbon, gin, vodka, rum, Scotch, etc. It doesn't matter what order you drink it in. It doesn' matter how you mix it.

What matters is the amount consumed.

I think you're right. At least judging from some of my past hangovers, you are.
