It depends on how fast I'm drinking and what my food intake is.

Typically, I don't drink more than about 2 beers in an hour. When I drink like that, I can put away more than a 12 pack before I feel it. I Over a period of 14 hours at a friends BBQ/party I once consumed a dozen beers and a 750ml bottle of rum without getting "drunk."

That said, If I've got an empty stomach and put them away quickly, I don't think it would take more than 8 or 9 cans/bottles of lager. (meaning 2 750ml bottles of belgian quad or strong ale, or 2 bottles of strong wine)
