Eli5: Why does the mixing of alcoholic beverages seemingly get you drunker quicker/why is it seen as such a bad thing?

It doesn't really, it's just easy to physically drink more when you are mixing it up. It seems weird to drink your 5th vodka but if you have drank a bunch of different stuff you don't notice you have drank so much. Food is the same way, People will notice they are eating a ton if there is just one food out, but if there is a selection they will eat one of each and not notice how much they have eaten. Like people will realize eating 5 hamburgers is excessive but if you go to a cookout with hamburgers and hotdogs and steak and chicken and kebobs and stuff people will eat em all.
