Knowing what different liquors are made out of is key to learning how to mix drinks besides just following instructions! If you want to build a bar, just buying one new bottle of liquor every few months can start you off well.
And yeah, Cuervo has some nasty side effects for a lot of people. What you need to do when you look at tequilas is check how much of it is really made with agave and how much is additives. You want pure agave if you don't want to have a headache-- of course, pure agave is way more expensive, unfortunately. But different people react differently to the different additives-- my liquor store owner says that Cuervo tends to affect the most people the worst, and he won't even let me buy it from him.
