I have a simple system to evaluate my impairment:
0 beers - Claudette Shiffer looks attractive
2 beers - Drew Barrymore looks attractive
4 beers - Molly Ringwald looks attractive
6 beers - Madonna looks attractive
8 beers - Hillary Clinton looks attractive
10 beers - Richard Simmons looks attractive
Isn’t it Claudia, not Claudette? Maybe I’m thinking of someone else…
Must…stop…noon…binges…
You’re ON! Maybe we can lure…uh, corrupt…uh, persuade Chris and Kricket and tiggeril while we’re at it. I like the beer at Blue Cat better, but for some reason really prefer Front Street. Less pretentious, I guess. I’ve spent many a summer afternoon back on the patio, happily sucking down brew and munching on nachos.
Now watch me make a total liar of myself and get plotzed.

My granduncle got “drunk” at my wedding, but on non-alcohol wine.
We had to serve that because the hall didn’t have a liquor license yet, and that was why it was so cheap.
But he didn’t know and was making noises about being tipsy and not to give him more. It was soooo funny!

The power of suggestion. Why, there have been posters who’ve gotten totally blitzed, lit and looped just from virtual parties here!

I don’t really remember how many I had last night… ::scratches head::
Erm… I think… 4 I’m feelin it, 6 I’m buzzed, 8 I’m hit pretty hard, 10-12 I’m drunk, and after 14-16 I’m probably lookin to puke.

I’m a fairly small woman, so say inside of a four hour span:
three beers, one shot of john walker red (yuk), and one indeterminate mixed drink created by roomate, and I’m comfortably sloshed and silly.
mind you, that’s real canadian beer, not that american water.
You have to drink to find Drew Barrymore attractive? Some people…
I used to have to drink about 6 beers before I began to feel anything, but that was when I was drinking very heavily. I quit drinking for a while, then started up again (moderately) and now I can feel it on 2 beers, and 4 will have me feeling good. This saves me a lot of money, I used to wish that I had a lower tolerance back when I would have to buy cheap beer so I could get enough to get drunk.

I go for about 5-6 pints for an ‘average’ night out (3-4 hours in a pub)
although i hear the beer in America is kinda weak 
Not like a good old British pint.
