Is it bad to mix different types of alcohol ?

Sometimes I meet a bartender who tells me that mixing different types of alcohol is not good for my hangover. Usually I do not listen, but last night I was really drunk and made a bet with some beautiful bartender. She said I will wake up a mess if I mix and I said I won't, well I didn't and now I am looking for a proof, got any ?

Probably. Alcohol in and of itself is an irritant to your stomach and your system. Different types of alcohol contain congeners, toxins that are by-products of the distillation and manufacturing process. Mixing different types of alcohol is more likely to expose you to different congeners, which can increase the chances of becoming sick. If you are going to drink, it's better to give your system a fighting chance by only requiring it to cope with one type of irritant.
