Is drinking 4 beers instead of 4 shots in just one hour bad?

I knoww everyone says not to drink shots too fast but what about 4 seltzers (12oz/5% so each equal to a shot) spread out over just an hour? Is that the same or does it have an effect on wether I’ll get nauseated or not? The thing is, I get so much nausea/dehydration when I drink hard liquor but not when I drink beer/seltzers, I guess since beers/seltzers have more liquid in them they keep you at least a bit hydrated but idk about drinking them sorta fast.
