In my younger days I drank a lot of beer. Never much cared for liquor
or wine. My rule of thumb was to never drink until after dinner.
Having eaten, I could seemingly drink all the beer I cared to and
hardly feel it. Then I'd go to bed and sleep well - and wake up
feeling fine the next day.

I always walked back to where I was staying - or took a taxi. The
police never bothered me.....

Like the man said, YMMV.
