QFT....

My coworkers at job 2 drink Budweiser or Miller. They laugh at me when I drink good beer. If I wanted to spend $2.5ea at a bar to feel like sh!t I'd just go home and eat some year old beef for free. I drink good bear at $3ea without feeling all bloated and sh!tty.

why?

Never had the urge. Beer smells like sh!t and just had no interest. There are many from my college days that owe me between $50 and $100 from bets that I would drink before I left college! ;)
but... it promotes longevity. a drink a day keeps the doctor away.

One shot (whiskey or tequila, usually) and I feel nothing, second shot I'm buzzed, third shot I'm drunk.

Depends on the drink.

3-4 Long Island Ice Teas.
2-3 glasses of wine.
8-9 Jack N Cokes.
6-7 Beers.
3-4 shots of Tequila.

Usually okay as long as I stick with 1 drink. Unfortunately, that rarely happens.

This makes no sense.

yeah, based on alcoholic content. but for some reason wine/tequila have that effect for me.

Me too...I can pound down beer after beer and function just fine I have drank up to 24 easily in a day out on the boat or on a 'weekend warrior' project...throw a half dozen shots at me and I am not very functional.

Tequila I avoid when I am around people I don't know...I am not sure what it is in it, but I can drink it very easily. Problem is I lose track of things I have done. People have said they didn't think I was drunk as I was not slurring and pretty balanced and all that.

My worst experience was waking up in my car with my soon to be financee driving (I woke up and thought I feel asleep at the wheel) and screaming at me.

Apparently when her and two of my friends went to get more drinks, their two girlfriends and I ended up naked in a bed. My friends thought it was funny, I was the only one with a serious g/f though. I don't have any idea, the last thing I remembered from the night was playing quarters.

She got over it, I had to let her borrow my car for a bit.
