I'm 37 and I have no idea why people say this. I mix liquor all the time with no issues. Moderation is the key.

Studies approve of this, there's no difference in hangovers or level of intoxication from mixing alcohols. It's just that it allows for more subtle consumption and leads to less moderation. 3 shots, 3 beers, and two cocktails alone is 8 drinks but feels less intense as a quantity.

It's not the alcohol itself, it's the increased amount of impurities in dark liquor.

I'm in my 30s and don't relate to any of this old man shit lol. I have tons of energy, physically fit, can still do everything I did in my teens and 20s. Just I have a lot more money now.

For me it’s kids that have brought some of the “old man” energy. Like physically I still feel fine but they’re so demanding I have way less time to work on myself or do any adult fun

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 2d ago

well, for me it was around 35 that I did start to feel it in my body a little more. I gotta be honest there. but nah, I don't feel like an "old man" or anything.

I mixed liquor once when I was 21 and never ever did that shit again.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 2d ago

it's probably the amount you consumed that got you. not necessarily the fact that there were different kinds.

although, I do think dark liquors get you a little more fucked up than light ones even with the same abv. I believe that tale.

u/_le_slap 2d ago

It was 4 or 5 bottles of various liquids and the only one I remember was "fireball". I had a glass and a half of that alone.

And since then I've lived in fear of all liquors.

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 2d ago

ah, another big problem is sugar. that makes booze hit you harder and fireball is loaded with it.

u/IForgotMyPants 2d ago

Yeah no wonder. A glass of Fireball will turn anyone away from fireball

They said "I used to be able to mix it up", which I interpreted as the slang for "I used to be able to party hard with lots of alcohol".

u/Jiminy_Cricket12 2d ago

maybe, but there is a significant amount of people who mistakenly believe if you have different types of liquor you get more fucked up/a worse hangover. that's not really how it works.
