liquor vs beer on the gut?

so for some weird ass reason… my body seems to be able to tolerate liquor (99% of time i drink brown although only drank once or twice over last couple months) like if i drink even just 3 beers or so, the next day sometimes plural are just miserable. burning, bloated to shit, etc. but it seems when i drink whiskey, i don’t experience the same problems? if i drink consecutive days then yeah it will start to get to me. but drank last night some rum and some jack and today little to no issue with the acid reflux as i call it. is this common? normal? i would kinda assume beer easier on stomach and friends have insisted it’s that way for them but for me it seems the opposite
