I had to quit drinking. When I did drink I would go so fast that I ended up buying my beers three at a time so I wouldn't have to go back to the bar so often. I was constantly chasing a buzz I think. I wanted the buzz to start hard and strong, so I downed my first two or three in a couple of minutes. It only took a few minutes to adjust to that level of buzz, so I kept imbibing rapidly to kick it up a notch. It got to where I only took a couple of hours to go through 12 or more beers.

Eventually I figured out I wasn't having fun anymore, so I quit.

Depends on mood/intent. If I want to get my buzz on then a couple mixed drinks go down fast. If I have a tastey stout or darker beer and just want to kick back and relax, I'll pour and let it sit for 20 minutes to warm up and sip away for another 20 minutes.

I'm getting old though. More than two or three drinks in an hour or two and I just go from sober --> hungover without any of the fun stages in between.
