I think that's probably good you stick to beer these days. It's a lot harder to reach those toxic levels with beer and wine. The alcohol concentration is lower, and it's hard to drink beer to that point without barfing it back up first. I was reading in a medical book the other day that what makes people puke is that alcohol irritates the esophagus, and the natural carbonation in beer can aggravate that irritation, I expect. Plus you start to feel full sooner, too, and probably get tired of peeing like a racehorse after so long!

Usually the bad poisoning cases we saw were from high-proof grain alcohols like Everclear and strong vodkas and, once, from tequila shots. Makes me feel queasy just thinking about those, but I never cared for tequila. Be careful out there!
