I don’t know why, but I can drink half a fifth of tequila and not be more than a little buzzed. That much bourbon and I’ll be sick in bed the next day. Never understood it.

Well. . . If and when you feel like sharing, I for one would LOVE to hear this story!
You asked for it.... [emoji38]
In 2003 I was an admin on a car related web forum, and once a year we had a gathering in the Chicago area (as that's where the founder of the site was from).
That year, it happened to fall on my birthday. After about six beers at the hotel, a few of us decided to go to a nearby steakhouse for dinner. This particular restaurant served a drink called "Shut Up And Drink It". As I recall, it was a rum-based drink, 22oz with at least 5 or 6 of those being different types of rum. Below the description of the drink was a disclaimer: "One per customer".
The drink was ordered, and I did as it said. Dinner was ordered, and part way through a member of the group asked the waitress to bring me another. She mentioned the "rule". Someone piped up and said it was my birthday, so she folded and brought one out. I finished that one, too.
On the way back to the hotel we decided to stop at a liquor store. Wandering around in my well-buzzed state I settled on what I thought would be delicious: a bottom shelf 1-liter bottle of the cheapest Jose Cuervo in the place.
Back at the hotel, it was time to relax, hang out with a bunch of people I only get to see once a year and dig into the liquid libations. A few more beers were drunk, shots of various liquors were taken, and then I decided to crack open the tequila.
I drank it. The whole thing.
During the process of drinking it I would excuse myself to go to the bathroom; remember, I had taken in a very large amount of liquid up to this point. I had to come out.
My trips to the bathroom were becoming longer, and longer, and longer. Eventually, I went to the bathroom and didn't come back. A search team was sent for me, and I was discovered fully clothed, but fast asleep half in and half out of one of the stalls, under the door.
A friend crawled over from the adjacent stall (destroying the toilet paper dispenser) and unlocked the door. Another couple of friends retrieved the luggage cart from the lobby. I was loaded up and taken back to my room where my roommate, whom I had traveled from here in Minnesota with, was already in and asleep.
I remember repeatedly saying "I'm sorry" to him, and when asked what for, saying "I don't know, but I'm sorry anyway."
I woke up about six hours later, still magnificently drunk. Since we were going to a drag strip that day, I knew there was only one logical choice: Evacuate. I gave my tonsils a hearty handshake and took Ralph to the toilet. The smell of regurgitated tequila ruined the stuff for me. I love it, but just a whiff turns my stomach.
To end a long, and somewhat embarrassing story I ate breakfast downed three bottles of Gatorade on the way to the track and spent the day next to the wall right next to the starting line. I was exhausted, but it was a beautiful day.
PS. I sat down once and calculated how much I drank over an approximate ten hour period. Here it is as best as I can recall:
Beer: 15-18 mixed between cans and bottles.
Shut Up and Drink It: 2, totaling approximately 12oz of spirits.
Shots: Roughly a dozen.
Tequila: One liter.
PPS. Here's a pic I dug up of me enjoying some of Jose's elixir:

[/quote]That's amazing. The sheer quantity of liquor is astounding. If I were a medical professional, I would have used the 2003 version of you as a study to see exactly how much liquor the human body can tolerate. Truly impressive. Using a luggage cart to take you back was a pro move though.
I am sad to hear that you can no longer indulge in the tequila since I think now you are in a place where you could appreciate the finer tequilas.
Anyways, I am glad I asked as that was a great read and thanks for sharing MoT. One of these days I will take the time to post a Dub Rubb story.
