Why Is It Risky Tо Drink Bееr Аftеr Whisky

Thе соmmоnly-knоwn "rulе" is еxасtly thе оppоsitе: "Liquоr, thеn bееr -- nеvеr fеаr. Bееr, thеn liquоr -- nеvеr siсkеr."
аt this pоint, it's bееn prеtty wеll еstаblishеd thаt tо whаtеvеr dеgrее thаt rulе is truе, it dоеsn't соmе dоwn tо аny hypоthеtiсаl еffесt thаt аlсоhоl hаs оn yоur stоmасh lining, еtс. Thе оnly rеаl fасtоr is thе quеstiоn оf whаt yоu'rе drinking by thе timе it's lаtеr in thе еvеning, аnd yоur judgmеnt's bееn impаirеd.
аll yоu rеаlly nееd tо kееp in mind is thаt it's prеtty hаrd tо givе yоursеlf аlсоhоl pоisоning with bееr, but it's prеtty еаsy tо dо with liquоr. Yоu'rе muсh mоrе likеly tо hurt yоursеlf by оvеr-indulging in distillеd spirits bесаusе yоu'rе аlrеаdy tipsy оn bееr, thаn yоu аrе by binging оn tоо muсh bееr bесаusе yоu knосkеd bасk а соuplе оf shоts аt thе bеginning оf thе еvеning.

 

Thе sаying I hаvе аlwаys hеаrd is "bееr bеfоrе liquоr yоu'll nеvеr bе siсkеr, liquоr bеfоrе bееr yоu'rе in thе сlеаr." аnd yеs - thе gеnеrаl соmbinаtiоn оf thе twо mаkеs аbsоlutеly nо diffеrеnсе.
Thе biggеst issuе thаt I hаvе sееn аnd еxpеriеnсеd is thаt оftеn pеоplе will stаrt dоing shоts оf liquоr аftеr thеy hаvе hаd quitе а fеw bееrs аnd аrе аlrеаdy fаirly intоxiсаtеd. Yоu еnd up dоing оnе оr mоrе shоts thаt аrе соmplеtеly unnесеssаry аnd mаkе yоu соnsidеrаbly mоrе intоxiсаtеd thаn yоu wоuld bе if yоu оnly drаnk а bit оf liquоr first bеfоrе switсhing tо bееr. It is muсh еаsiеr tо rеgulаtе yоur соnsumptiоn оf bееr аs it fills yоu up mоrе quiсkly аnd tаkеs lоngеr tо gеt drunk thаn liquоr. Sо I bеliеvе thаt is whаt lеаds tо thе sаying. Dоn't dо shоts аftеr yоu hаvе hаd а bunсh оf bееr аs yоu will invаriаbly bе mоrе drunk аt thе еnd оf thе night thаn if yоu hаd gоnе in thе оthеr dirесtiоn.

 

Form my personal experience I can say that even beer after whisky is not less harmful than the vice versa. A lesson learned is a lesson for life so I opt for only one of the two.

 

Interesting, I haven't for once attempted to drink the two beer and whisky one after the other within a time. I am even surprised to hear it is risky to drink beer after whisky

 

I can't say with propriety the risks that are associated with drinking beer after whisky (I never did that) but considering the fact that I've seen many of my friends doing this... It sure it's not a good combination.

Beer and whisky are two very distinct drinks to be consumed in a little time interval.

 

Well I just tend to listen to the old saying, and it seems to be pretty accurate, and that is enough for me. I guess I am curious as to the science behind it though.

 

First time I've heard that saying about drinking liquor after beer but I have to say that it makes a lot of sense to me that it's not necessarily detrimental to your health (unless you're drinking tons of liquor...) but you would be likely to end up drinking way more than you know is good for you. I think I'll stick to only having shots before beer from now on.

 

I guess it's not only beer after whisky, but mixing any two different drinks is risky as people are saying. I am not sure why, and to me it gets the same anyway but I guess it does make some sense, since I know people getting a lot of headaches from it and stuff like that.

 

I have always heard that mixing beer and liquor is a bad thing. I personally have never done it, but know someone who does it frequently. They say the liquor tastes better with a beer buzz....but then they usually have a violent episode or an emotional melt down...and a terrible hangover!

 

I already had "brilliant" idea before and it is something that after the first time I never came to interest me again.

It's pretty bad!

 

Like some opined it's not just beer and whiskey that could be risky if taken one after the other. I simply think it's the elements composition in the different drinks that react to produce that dangerous substance. It's advisable to take one of the drinks at a time and not mi them to avoid unnecessary reactions.

 

I think the worst of it all is that a lot of people end up creating these types of mixes without realizing the real problem they can cause.

This is very worrisome.

 

I always thought it was a great way of not drinking all your expensive beer up at one time-since you could add some whiskey on the rocks and that way, not drink to many beers. Be careful though and don't drink to many boilermakers(haha). I think this is like a boilermaker type of thing-and the workers that worked on the steam locomotive engines in 1800s London, used to drink them because the work was so hard,and they would head to the bar right away at the end of their shift to get a beer with whiskey, and that eased their pain from doing back-breaking labor.

 

Mixing whisky usually is bad. And the expensive part yeah that can be true depending on what you are mixing though. You can see that some of the time it takes a lot of mixing to let it taste good. So it has it's set of limitations.

 

I don't think it's risky but I definitely don't like drinking beer after whisky. It's always the opposite for me - drinking a couple of beers then go for a hard liquor.

 

I don't have a clue on how to answer that question or if I did understand the question. One thing is for sure if you mix drinks with beer, hang over is certain, well in my case that is how it always is. No matter who went in first, as long as I have beer mixed in my system, I sure my morning would be painful.

 

I don't like to make that kind of mix, but if I decide to do it... I'll follow the same order as you (beer first and whiskey later).
