I used to be able to handle my alcohol really well and drink for a long time before any effect seemed to kick in, but over the last month or two, I seem to be getting utterly wasted to the point where I can remember very little in the morning after about five pints.

Is there anything I can do to help me keep my dignity a bit longer? Other than the obvious drinking less... I've triedf that, but after one or two, I can't stop myself having another....

I'm going out on Saturday with a group of people that I've been out with twice before, each time getting completely blootert and puking everywhere, needing help to even stand. I really don't want to embarass myelf again, they'll think I'm a piss head. :(
