mixed alcoholic drinks are extremely toxic

I've been reading La cuisine pour tous by Ginette Mathiot. It's a best seller of French cuisine, first published in 1932. In French. Entry 1761 in the beverages section caught my eye:

Cocktails
This publication contains no recipe for cocktails.While they may be fashionable, these mixed alcoholic drinks are extremely toxic and have no place in a family cook book.

(free translation)

So, you can see this is a serious work, and covers medicinal matters too.
