I go out almost every weekend myself and generally do some drinking with friends. I know it's hard to do, but like someone else mentioned, don't drink so fast. It is putting down the hard stuff in a hurry that overloads your body and causes you to blackout.
Think about it. You probably drink because you like the way it feels. If you have a few and are feeling good, why drink more? Once you have a few, just pace yourself and 1 an hour will maintain your enjoyable state without putting you over the top. Unlike horsepower, more is not always good.
