Mixing drinks is bad.....myth?

I've always heard that one should not mix drinks (beer and liquor, liquor and wine, etc)
Is this a myth?
Now, about a week ago I tried beer then rum, and I got a terrible headache....but yesterday I had beers followed by whiskey and more beer and I was fine. It's not the amount either because I had more alcohol and got more drunk last night than when I had beer+rum. Experiences?

How much water you drink through the night has a lot more to do with your hangover than what type of liquor you drink, though some liqours have more fusel alcohols than others. This probably contributes to a band hangover. It doesn't matter the order they are drank though.

Absolute myth.
Mix whatever the hell you want. You'll only throw up if get too drunk. Mixing things has nothing to do with quantity.

Beer and rum are a bad combo but that's about it.

alcohol ale, alcohol lager,etc., etc.. i wouldn't say it's all the same. i believe, and i speak from experience, that there is a difference when you drink only one type of beer, as opposed to mixing several drinks. the latter is known to give me headaches.
mixing beer and liquor isn't too bad as long as you take it easy and drink at a slow pace.

Not true.
@OP. mixing drinks doesnt cause worse hangovers. The type of alcohol you drink though effects hangovers due to other types of alcohol present as an impurity. Normally darker drinks are worse than hangovers.

Because there is none to support the myth.

The only 'other type of alcohol' that could be present would be methanol. Methanol is toxic (regardless of what it is combined with during ingestion) and is not allowed to be present in any significant amounts in commercially sold beverages (typically <0.1% in commercially available distilled drinks).

It has to do with hydration. Dont get dehydrated and you can drink Puckers with Budwiser if you want 
I prefer beer these days. You can drink for longer and get just as drunk but at a controlled peace. A week ago I drank for 7 hours playing civilization 5 and by the end was quite "Loose". If I was taking shots the good times would have ended long ago with too much intoxication to properly kick Germany in the rear

What people wroute about hydration is very true!
BUT there some other mixing thing, its known to me(im Russian) as lowering precentage which is drinking some strong drink(lets assume vodka) for a bit and then drinking a beer, it males you way more waisted than starting with same beer and moving to vodka.
