why would more expensive alcohol be better for you exactly?

The reasons vary from drink to drink. With vodka they filter more impurities out with charcoal. With wine, it is is simply fermented more completely and properly. The list goes on and on.

The level of toxins (congeners) vary depending on type of drink.
Below is a list from lowest toxin level to highest toxin level drink.

Vodka (lowest toxin levels)
Home brew beer
beer
white wine
red wine

bourbon (highest toxin levels)

Please keep in mind that quality does not always equal expensive. There are many good wines for $5 and many poorly made wines for $60.
