Usually I can only drink ~10 beers before I start getting drunk, but I also take medication that amplifies the effect of alcohol.

 

I decided long ago that I wouldn't bother to drink a 12 pack and have to pee who knows how many times, when I could drink a few cocktails and get the same amount of alcohol. When I go out I have 4-6 of some combination of vodka martinis, gin gimlets or gin&tonics, maybe a couple shots thrown in the mix depending on the crowd I'm hanging out with, then maybe I move on to maybe another coupla beers, something tasty that I can drink in a relaxed fashion because I'm usually happy with getting reasonably sauced without getting to that falling over point. Every once in a long while I will skip the beer and keep on going with the liquor if I truly want to get wasted. Usually I know it's gonna go that way if at the point when normally I would start ordering beer, I order a long island instead.

I don't drink while I'm at home, unless I happen to have some free booze that my step-uncle who works in a liquor store has recently given me some "extra bottle that they didn't need." In that case I'll pre-drink some of those martinis/gimlets/gin&tonics at home and then go out to the bars with a head start and end up spending less money.

I used to go out 5 nights a week and be the kid showing up at his suitably late in the day first class (say, 11 am) sittin in the back row with a bottle of gatorade, but that quickly ended after I realized how much money I was spending. I guess I could still do it if I wanted to but since I have an actual job now I can't just show up with a bottle of gatorade and not pay attention, plus I gotta show up a lot earlier.

I've never drank to the point of puking due to the sheer amount of alcohol in my stomach. I have however taken a shot of something particularly vile (usually cheap whiskey or tequila will do the trick) and puked as a result of the bad taste, but that's a different category of puking. I have blacked out every once in a long while though, but not anytime recently.
