"Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor before beer, you're in the clear."
Answers: Your answer is at this site. "If you drink beer and then liquor, you will most likely get more drunk than you would have if you had started with liquor and felt the effects of alcohol earlier. If you ended up getting sick afterwards, you may have reasonably surmised that mixing the two types of alcohol in that order was the culprit. However, it was the total amount of alcohol consumed in a short period of time that most likely made you regret it.
Irrespective of your drinking itinerary, there are ways to decrease your risk of becoming ill or hung over. Having food in your system, for example, will absorb some of the alcohol so that it doesn’t go directly into the bloodstream, and may protect your stomach from excess irritation. Alternating alcoholic beverages with water or juice will keep you hydrated and spread out the total amount of alcohol you drink. Finally, be aware that drinks in bars and restaurants may contain more alcohol than you think. "

http://healthlibrary.epnet.com/getconten... I dont think there is any scientific evidence, more so years of drinking and testing it out! Not for me. I can never drink both beer and liquor no matter what order I drink them in. Not that I am aware of, BUT I have experienced it many times in my life. I heard from my friends in the military, "Beer before liquor you get drunk quicker. Liquor before beer your in the clear." My friend told me that is not true either way you get drunk.. The logic is that most beer is not that tasty so usually it takes longer to drink, and makes you full faster (you know bloatted). Liquor is usually mixed to taste good. So people tend to drink more, because its good. Either way too much will get you drunk. It will make you sick, so just be modest when enjoying your favorite drinks. It is a load of crap. Some idiot got drunk and puked one night. Rather than taking responsibility for his/her actions he/she blamed it on mixing drinks. The best way to not get sick off of alcohol is to monitor your intake. Drink until enlightenment and maintain. Scientific, marginally at best.
Here's the theory:
-If you drink beer first, you're gonna get tipsy. You're much more likely to make yourself a stronger drink with liquor or drink too much of the hard stuff at this point. So,
beer before liquor makes you sick because you throw up since you were stupid and couldn't realize how much you actually drank.
-If you start with the hard stuff, you're sober at first. You have some idea about how strong your drinks should be and what you can reasonably expect to have. You should switch to beer after a few mixed drinks, though. If you do this then you've accomplished the "liquor before beer" part. Now, your alcohol intake should decrease since you're not chugging beers. You should be able to either maintain your drunk from the hard stuff or increase it a little bit with the beer. Either way, your body was being dehydrated from the hard liquor and the beer, being 95% water, is fixing that.
If you wake up and don't have a hangover from the liquor before beer, that's probably why. On the other hand, drinking a few waters before bed is always a good idea after a night of hard drinking.
Not for me though, I'm practically immune to hangovers. Drank more than my fair share, haven't puked and didn't have a hangover. I'm talking a couple bottles of wine in a few hours sorta drunk. Herad a similar phrase (Beer on wine and I feel fine, wine on beer and I feel queer) explained thus:
Beer tends to be drunk faster than wine or spirits measure for measure of alcohol.
If you have first set a subconscious pace of drinking beer (size of the mouthfulls and how often you drink from the glass) you will, in all probability, slip into this same pace when you move onto the stronger spirits. This means that you will inadvertantly drink far more spirits than you realise or far quicker than you realise.
If, on the other hand, you set the pace with the spirits the effect is far less when you change to the weaker beer.
So, not really scientific per se in that they react with each other in a certain way when mixed, just logic and the speed/quantity drunk.
