Drink something strong if you wanna get wasted quickly and lose your inhibitions. I guess that's the point of drinking at clubs and bars. Unless you down the beer right away, you'll be babying it and it'll take awhile to hit you. You take a shot and will feel it a lot faster.
12 oz beer @ 5% alcohol content = 0.6 oz alcohol
1.5 oz shot glass of vodka @ 40% alcohol content = 0.6 oz alcohol
