Mixing drinks makes you drunker?

Believe me, I know the back story to these types of questions. I have plenty of people who tell me never to drink beer and then hard alcohol. And most of all never switch back or to something then. After a few years of good experience I think it's all bull... It all just adds up over time and you forget how much you've had..

What are "professional" drinkers opinions on this matter?

    The mixing of drinks mixes the effects initially.

    The champagne goes straight to your head literally so it tends to get the party started.

    The mixers are full of sugar disproportionately and so get in your bloodstream and stop the process of eating up the food stores in your body and therefore are converted to energy quicker so if you are on the couch you put on weight and on the dancefloor you keep going and therefore dehydrate quicker.

    Beer does it all but it bloats and so you need a break and most people go for the spirits and that's always hangover time.

    But after a while it all comes down to how fit you are. The fitter you are then it's easy to just drink a heap of water and stay out of the sun the next day.

    Vitamin B is the main thing you need to keep healthy and ready for another round.

    Try and give your liver a 2 day break from the grog each week and have heaps of water.

    When you reach the ripe old age of 35 then it's time to start cutting back on the binges and trying to get your body to last another 35 years without medical assistance.

    I didn't make it that far, but I was in the Industry for longer than most.

    Switching drinks can be hard on your stomach. I don't think order matters.

    I am not sure if it actually causes worse hangover because when I drink a lot of different drinks in a night I usually end up drinking more than normal. Drinking more definitely gets you drunker and makes hangovers worse.

    Liquor before beer. Beer is the chaser for your shots. Beer is like the cool down session after your workout. Just don't drink too much of either, because it's all gotta come out somehow, and there aren't many holes to choose from.

    Lightweights.

    With experience you can do whatever combo you fancy. Mimosas with breakfast, martinis at lunch, nice cold beer in the afternoon by the pool, brandy alexanders during the cocktail hour, wine (both red and white) with dinner and a good cognac with coffee after dinner. After that, a few shots at your favorite club. And don't forget to have a nice nightcap before bed when you get home.

    that's no longer basically undesirable 'reason you act crazier, it may mess with your heart. yet once you are going to do it, it may in a feeling make you experience drunker because of the fact it gets your ability up, gets you feeling hyper and peppy, that's frequently the drunk you elect to decide for! do no longer blend your drinks very solid and don't have too many! have exciting hon! :)

    Alcohol makes you drunk, not the form that it's in. Those who get drunk after mixing drinks simply lose count of how much they've had.
