What's your tolerance for alcohol?
On my 19th (legal drinking age), I wanted to try out this recipe for an "earth version pan galactic gargle blaster"... but I got the proportions all wrong and had to keep on adding more and more until I finally had this 8 oz. glass FULL of 40% alcohol.
Did I get a buzz? Actually no. However I got a horrendous headache and couldn't move very much...
I think I'm going to miss out on experiencing intoxication entirely if I can't even get drunk from that amount of alcohol. I seriously remember everything in 100% detail - I was totally sober except for not being able to move. (lol, take that out of context) I even ate a couple slices of pizza, although I had to do it with my head tilted to the side since, as described earlier, I couldn't... move.
I didn't feel sick either. It lasted about an hour and then began to let up. After 2 hours I was as good as new. And no hangover the next day, though that's probably because I was smart and drank lots of water afterward.
This is probably because I'm a walking genetic disaster. So I got to thinking, how much does a regular person need in order to be certifiably drunk?

I drink Vine, a small Gulp for Taste when a Good Bootle is opened.
Federweisser is pretty good, althoug it barely counts as Alcoholic if you don`t let it stay for some time.
Only time i got really drunk was in a Historical Museum. We did a Course in Ancient Roman Cooking. What should i say - they have salty Sardell-Fish in everything but they mixed a Honey-Vine drink, called Mulsum or Vulsum... was pretty good.
but i still could walk afterwards... and i can`t sing, even with a good drink inside.

Caydr: mixing different sorts of liquor can have those sorts of results, especially if you are not an experienced drinker.
As for me, I think it's common knowledge that I am drunk quite often (but not often enough).
I like beer. The type of beer I like depends entirely on my mood. Yuengling is a good cheap domestic, it's in the same price range as Bud/Miller/Coors but is easily the best out of those. It goes down smoothly and has a great taste. Coors is good too but is a little bit crisper; Yuengling is sweeter. If I want to get quite drunk, I'll probably be drinking Yuengling.
On the other hand, if it's been a long day and I want to pleasantly unwind, I like higher-class import and domestic microbrew beers. (Yes, I'm a bit of a "beer snob" sometimes, so what?) For example, a couple of nights ago I had Stella Artois and a domestic honey brew that I've forgotten the name of as I had never seen it before. It was actually quite interesting - Stella is a light and bitter pilsner lager, while the honey brew was dark and sweet.
As for my tolerance... I lose my motor skills way before I lose my thinking skills. Eventually I lose both, after maybe 10 beers. I'm unable to type after two or three beers, which causes lots of lulz when I then try to surf the Net. I've never vomited or passed out from drinking exclusively beer. Basically, I have a pretty low tolerance as far as when alcohol starts to affect me, and a pretty high tolerance as far as when alcohol starts to seriously affect me.
The only liquor I really like is tequila. Gin may be added to the list eventually; I had a shot of a friend's Tanqueray and liked it a lot. Whiskey is horrible. I can't drink vodka after having had a particularly bad night with it a couple of years ago, and never liked it anyways. I hate normal rum, but a little bit of spiced rum and coke is okay. Even tequila has its different sorts. Out of the mid-grade tequilas, I like Sauza much better than Jose Cuervo. I don't have enough money to drink high-grade tequilas, but I had a shot of Herradura once and it was okay. Never, never, never drink cheap tequila. I had some stuff called Tres Amigos once at a party; it's about $5 a fifth and is the most vile liquid known to mankind.

NB. The cheap tequila that I mentioned was in fact Montezuma Gold "tequila". Check out some of the opinions on that site! 
Stella isn't a "high class import" tbh. Pretty common beer, and IMO the main reason for it being one of the more expensive beers on tap is because of the higher alchohol percentage. I enjoy it, although to begin with i hated stella and only drank it because it is what my dad drinks so there was usually some in the fridge. Now I tend to go for stella over most other beers on tap (or if I'm getting a carry out from a store). Good balance between quality, price and easy to get drunk on because it's 5.2%
Best beers are German beers IMO. I would tell you which I prefer but I can't spell the names and CBA googling it.

I work in a pub. I don't drink nearly as often as I'd like to 
Mainly a beer fan, though I do appreciate a fine vodka too, especially as it tends not to hit me very badly and doesn't give me a hangover.
Wine, on the other hand, is always, 100% a recipe for disaster. Gets me trollied very quickly and makes me feel like a corpse the next day.
