“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
"Don?t mix the grape and the grain" is the old saying. There is some truth in it not being a good idea to switch drinks during a single session because most have some impurities in them and those from one type of drink don't always react well with those from another.
Red wines in particular contain an interesting pharmacopeia, so cheap red wine and distillations such as port and brandy (which concentrate the impurities) have a good potential for nasty hangovers and such treats as gout for those who imbibe too much too often.

There is this saying in Holland ("bier na wijn geeft venijn, wijn na bier geeft plezier") which practically comes down to:
Wine after beer = ok
Beer after wine = bad
Which is said to be because the last option are a great cause for hangovers.
The real definition of it is, that beer was cheap and was only consumed by poor people. Wine was for the wealthy people that actually had money to pay for it. So drinking wine after beer was an upgrade, while beer after wine was a huge step backwards.

Someone told me the other night to always have a glass of water between each drink and you won't get hungover.
Helps stave off the dehydration which is part of the really nasty hangovers.
Personally I stick to good tequila and don't have many problems. What really messes me up is when I wind up drinking 'floofy' drinks all night. Usually wind up puking up a glob of goo the color of my drinks from the night before... BLEECH!
My favorit mess someone up drink is a Soviet Sunburn. A big shot glass filled to the line with tequila then topped with a citrus vodka. MMMMMM.... Say goodnight Gracie...
If you come to mixing alcohol - watch the alcohol percentage of the drink.
If it's higher than the previous' one - it's ok
It's ok if you drink beer (3-5%), then wine (7-14%), then liquor (14-30%), then vodka (40+%) etc.
DONT lower the percentage and everything's fine.

This is a difficult system. Better drink only one drink for one evening.
The worst mix is mix with champagn.
