For those that drink alcoholic beverages, how much can you handle?

I'm a total lightweight, a single mega sized margarita is as much as I can handle right now and it manages gives me a mild hangover. As such I don't drink that often, it's only on special occasions for me. Like last night my father wanted to go out to his favorite Mexican restaurant with me to just have a little family time after a stressful work week, and since he was driving (and he stopped drinking long ago, like before I was even born) I went ahead and decided to get me the largest sized margarita at the restaurant. Drank it, got about as "high" as I do when I'm on painkillers (should note that I only take those when needed, I'm not addicted to those things), and was pretty chatty the whole way back home.

Slept in longer than I meant to because my head was hurting, but I took some migraine meds and now I'm feeling fine.

How drunk we talking? Because I can still handle myself even when drunk, I just get more blunt and open. And I never get a hangover with just beer.

If we're talking still being able to behave normally, 7-8 beers. If we're talking drunk, 20 beers.

I'm bad with shots though, not gonna make an estimate there because I never do just shots.

(Edit: I take no medication or painkillers or whatevs because it seems that influences it too from what I read here)

I've never drank myself into a drunken stupor before, but I have drank three large (like 20-30 oz) rum and cokes in a row (30% rum that's 50% alcohol) and only got somewhat drunk. Seeing how I am quite large and judging by the amount of anesthetic or painkillers I require before they work, I believe my tolerance is probably quite high. I have yet to experience a hangover either.

I'm insanely lightweight as well, but that's fine because I'm not that big a drinker anyway. I think the most I've ever had in one night was 2 beer bottles, 2 and a half pints and a mini-pitcher of a mixed drink and that was over the course of about 8 hours. It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I don't really weigh very much physically.

A lot.

Never really measured, I just remember drinking and drinking and drinking a lot.

Edit: Just editing to quote Lisa:

If I’m doing tequila shots I’m probably not in the mood to count or care how much I’m going to hate myself in the morning lmaooo.

This, but with all alcohol.

Also, I don't care what anyone says, drunk pool is amazing.

…you guys are going to make me look like an alcoholic by comparison. The only thing I drink is tequila shots or long islands when I go out. If I'm doing tequila shots I'm probably not in the mood to count or care how much I'm going to hate myself in the morning lmaooo. I should probably not drink more than 3 long islands but you know, they're good. If I'm only going to hang out and play bar trivia I'll just have 2. 4 and I'm definitely throwing up in the morning, but I probably had fun.

I don't drink, but my roommate from college could drink as much vodka as he could injest and not get even a little drunk. I mean he's a big guy, but he drinks enough alcohol to kill a man on a regular basis. This one time he guzzled an entire bottle of Svedka and then some, and hardly felt a buzz. He probably won't be doing much of that since he's been in contact with the Yankees, but I'm telling you, he's something else. You'd have to see it too believe it.

yeah, what can i say i'm a big drinker, i drink a lot, a real boozehound lol. I can drink like 60 beers and still drive to my grandma's house and administer her various medications with surgeon-like accuracy. i drink about a 2 litres of rum to get drunk and i still can get to work at nasa the next day.

NOTE: Don't drink and drive, kids.

I would say i have an average alcohol tolerance, not left unaffected but not the first one to pass out either. I used to drink liqour but i "grew out of it" and now i primarily drink beer when it comes to alcohol, so i will use beer consumption as my reference.
I'd say that about 3-4 pints will get me "normal drunk" (loosened up, more chatty etc.) but still fully/mostly functional in terms of motor control and rational thought.
At about 7 i start to lose the above mentioned things and become "drunk drunk" (getting hilarious dumb ideas, speech level of an really underachieving grade schooler and so on).
If i get a hangover, which happens not that often, my typical symptoms are fatigue and slight headaches.

{ I mean he’s a big guy, but he drinks enough alcohol to kill a man on a regular basis. }

I feel like some people just aren't as effected by alcohol as everyone else. My little sister drinks fishbowls by herself and can then get up and take a business call, I could drink like half of that and risk a coma.

At 6' 2" and 170lbs i can handle well over a 24 pack, I've also never had a hangover in my life.
don't much care for hard alcohol but I've had 5 quick shots of whiskey that only gave me a body buzz.

I've blacked out and had a hangover exactly once. This came about from:

- 1 and a half weed cookies

- 4 PBRs

- 3 Coors

- 10 shots of sake

- 1 fruity vodka drink

- a game in which I took a shot of vodka every time my roomie died in smash (he was in a tourney which lasted 20 rounds with five stock.)
