How do people handle their drink?

Most people I know have drink to have fun, and have a whale of a time, but for me it does not seem to work.

I can get "merry" somtimes, but to drink enough to not care and "dance like no one's watching", well that level means intense hangovers, hanging over the toilet seat for extended periods of times, and my head's spinning around and it's a horrific experience.

It's either that or I have no energy and get real sleepy.

In summary, anything above 4 pint's and I'm wrecked, between that I'm falling asleep or feeling bloated and crap.

Am I drinking the wrong stuff???

Basically, people seem to be having fun, all I seem to be getting with alcohol is drowsy and bloated and a bit dozy.

What's good to drink, I normally drink Guinness or Rekorderlig or whatever ale is on offer.

I don't want to spend loads but at the same time I don't just want paint stripper.
