How much does it take for you to get drunk?

[Camerus]

I'm on my 5th beer of the night, and while I certainly notice something, I am still far from what I think many of you are referring to by "drunk".

In fact, I think my tolerance is quite low.  I will usually feel very sick and puke before I black out or lose total control or anything.  Although, the only time I arguably was quite drunk (and it was from vodka), I made out with a recently married girl while her husband and their friends were in the next room.  It was an incredibly stupid thing to do, considering everyone at that party was a friend of her husband and I didn't know a single person there except that girl.  Fortunately, nobody walked in on us.  Anyway, that was the last evening I really got out of control with my drinking.

Six shots

1 bottle of wine or 5-6 shots.

One miller lite.

I prefer wine over beer but for the purposes of this poll, I went with beer, and it usually takes four beers in an hour for me to seriously feel the affects. I rarely drink that much beer that quickly, however, as it generally just makes me feel bloated. 

With wine, however, it takes a full bottle (roughly 4.5 glasses) in an hour.. and that's not as rare as the beer.

I used to take half a 24 pack before going out, drink a few beers, a couple of shooters, go back home, take another 6 beers and get to bed drunk.

Nowadays, I rarely go over 12, and while I certainly wouldn't drive like this, I can't say I am drunk in the sense of doing some stupid shit and forgetting about it.  Unless I'm tired.  In this case, a six pack can make me very drunk.
Wine-wise, it's usually after toward the end of the 2nd bottle that I feel a little something...  Well, at the 2nd, I would say I'm drunk, slurred speech and all.  Just no crazy shit.

It takes me around 20 € to get slightly drunk.

Definitely not in beer though.

I start feeling that I've been drinking halfway through my second beer & start slurring after about four.  Most of my drinking lately has been Afternoon Drinking -- start popping them open after mowing the lawn on a Saturday, grill a late lunch/ early dinner & then quit drinking after dinner, which means that I'll typically put away six to eight beers in an afternoon and be nice & toasty, but still be able to sober up by mid evening.

I can't remember the last time I had more than a dozen beers in a sitting, which is my Point of No Return these days (where I can wake up the next morning & be fine after a glass of water & a cup of coffee).  I know that Once Upon A Time I could drink twice that amount & still be Ambulatory, but I don't feel particularily compelled to test that these days.  Being hung over with Weiner Kids under foot isn't any fun...
