Wow! Though I wouldn't do os, I can sorta see mixing brandy, bourbon and/or cognac, but I can't get with rum mixed with any of them. My taste buds would go apoplectic.

Well, you have to get the proportions right. ;)

Of course. In cooking, character development, cognition, and cocktailing, success depends on finding a fitting balance among contexts.

Off-topic but relative to mixing different alcohols, ever had a depth charge?

Drop a shot of whiskey (in the glass) into a pint of beer and chug it before the two mix. You drink the beer "sea", then get hit with the whiskey "depth charge" - kinda like a boilermaker in reverse. Course it flies in the face of the old adage, "beer before whiskey is mighty risky." ;)

TY for the exposition.

Red:
Good thing I wrote "not that I'm aware of."

Decades ago, as an undergrad, that was something of a novelty-plus-"rite-of-passage" drink/behavior that nearly everyone in our club (and in most of the other ones on campus) "had to" try/exhibit at one point or another, most commonly (in my day, at least) as a sophomore during bicker. We called them "Boilermakers."

Aside:
Among us upperclassmen in the club, Boilermakers were given to aspirants and those whom we'd preliminarily identified as suitable for inviting to join would be advised to lay off the booze for an hour or so after they drank one, and those whom none of us were particularly keen to invite wouldn't receive that input. I'll leave it to you to figure out who later got an invitation and who, but with very rare exception, didn't...​


Blue:
We used to say "beer and liquor, get sick quicker."

Yeah, a depth charge is a kinda sophomoric "watch this" drink - haven't done one for years. We called a boilermaker taking a shot (usually whiskey but can be any hard liquor) in one gulp followed by sipping a beer - that's why I said it's the reverse of a depth charge. Still do a boilermaker (but ONLY one ;)) occasionally. We said, "beer before whiskey, mighty risky; whiskey before beer, never fear" but I suspect all such adages are just so much BS.

Based on my personal experiences and observations of my friends and close acquaintances' experiences/behavior ensuing from baroque bibbery, my analysis yields the same anecdotal conclusion. LOL
 
Whiskey, hold the rest.

They're generally BS, yes. For a given measure of alcohol, either by volume or weight, that alcohol will have the same effect for all practical intents and purposes.

However, there's a nugget of truth in the myth. There usually is. That is, if you were to drink a bunch of beer and get yourself well enough along on the way to intoxication, you may not track how much whiskey you drink and whatever whiskey you do drink will be even smoother. So a person who drinks a bunch of beer first may end up downing more whiskey than they can handle. If you like the sharpness or the sharpness doesn't bother you, it can go down like spring water....

But if you drink whiskey first, then beer, you're less likely to have too much beer for the simple reason that it's hard to drink a ton of beer quickly (ok, without feeling unpleasantly full/bloated for a while). So you're more likely to keep proper track of how much you're having.




But obviously, the factor in play there is the total amount of alcohol consumed vs. the time over which it is consumed. The order was only a contributing factor.
