While I'm not sure I could pull off alcohol-blood, GOD IN HEAVEN can I put 'em back.
My last major binge involved 3 full Guinness, 4 Irish Car Bombs, and twelve individual shots, bringing my total to 7 full Guinness and twenty shots, before I lost count. I continued drinking for quite some time after that, but I've no idea how much. I only remember that I was flat broke when I got home, and I had gone to the ATM at least once in between drinks to withdraw $350.
I also had to help my brother move into his new place the next morning at roughly 8am, I'm not sure when I went to bed, but it sure as hell wasn't before 4am.
I can't hold Vodka well, however. I can drink loads of it and hold myself well, mixed or straight, but it REALLY sticks around me. I slammed a full mickey followed by a big swig of 190 proof Everclear, and was drunk the entire next day... it was fun playing games on a residual drunk.

Russian-Brit here. Suppose that counts for something. I was still fully aware, walking straight and all, after:
6 pints
2 vodka shots
2 sambuca shots
Double vodka and coke
I felt it, sure, but I remember everything. I d'no if that's much or not, but I don't really have much comparison since most of my friends are lightweights.
Edit: Oh and I forgot to add, I don't get hangovers. =D

I'm probably about normal. It takes three shots for me to get kinda drunk when I haven't eaten anything all day. (Well, let me rephrase: it takes three shots for me to get kinda drunk when I've eaten exactly two cheesy fries that day) Ordinarily I'm honestly not sure how many it takes to get me drunk, but it's a decent amount. (I've never actually counted)
Nope, not even close, and I'm fine with that. One drink and I'm nicely tipsy. I don't really care to be more drunk than that, in most situations. I can't drink beer or wine (I'm allergic to the chemical that stops the fermentation process), so I can only drink distilled liquor - rum, vodka, and suchlike.
In the past, I've been about average. Some nights I've been sober long after everybody else has made fools of themselves, other nights it's been the polar opposite. But then I effectively stopped drinking about a year and a half ago so I'm probably a bit of a lightweight by now being so out of practise. That being said, regardless of how bad I got I never once had a hangover the next morning.
Being Australian it often seems that drinking beer is our national passtime. While this is amusing it masks the serious alcohol binge-drinking problem we have here. Because I'm an (albeit functioning) alcoholic I can drink a fair bit, usually around 10-12 beers before I start feeling seriously drunk. I'm usually fine all night if I stick to just beer, but God help anyone around me if I start mixing spirits into the rotation of drinks....
As years pass I've been getting a little tougher alcoholding-wise, when get drunk I don't get wasted but I still can't count my drinks (I don't generally care anyways). If I keep it to one thing, say beer or wine, I'm ok, If I add Vodka, Whiskey or other distilled drinks it's a little tougher but manageable. A third type generally gets me, but I know that if Tequila enters the show things will get messy.
I'd say that I'm pretty much above average. Possibly hardman statues, can take a or two crate to bring me down at times. I drink quite a bit with my cousin on weekends so I guess I've gotten used to chugging them down. It does depend though on how much I've had to eat and such before then. I can quite easily drink both my brothers under the table. I can't drink my cousin under though, don't know if theres many people on the planet that can drink him under the table, which is really jarring considering he's diabetic and shouldn't be drinking anyway. Kid can drink, I think I've leveled up in drinking and got myself into some right states of drunkness just trying to keep up with him.
Hummm a normal nite out usually consists of pint or 2 or 3 pints of lager a vodka martini and a bottle of white wine and I'm pretty much there lol
I tell myself, and my friends, I'm a lightweight because I always need to mind how much I drink in total due to my Crohn's Disease. Last Thursday, to celebrate finally finishing school after fourteen long years of pain, I went out drinking, and I definitely still feel the effects!
I had four pints and a jelly shot (or as much as I could get out of the shot glass), all of different beers (because the club we went to didn't have Heineken on tap), over the course of 5 hours and I feel that I was still good for another pint or two, but the bar was closed.
That's the most I've ever drank, so... I'd guess a 'Normal' in my mind.

I think I can take alcohol pretty well. Never really been drunk enough to tell. I've been a bit unsteady on my feet after a decent few drinks but never so hammered that I've spent the night with my head in the toilet or woken up the next morning with a migraine.
I weigh about 120 pounds, so I consider the amount i drink rather normal. Usually I dont aim to get superbly drunk, so I go for what I call a "$6 drunk" which (even though I dont really get drunk) is when I buy 3 22oz Ballentines, drink them all and then try and solve the riddles whilst buzzed. If I feel like drinking more after that to get drunk, I'll have another 40 of Ballentines. It's cheap, tastes okay, and does the trick. Personally, however, I much rather enjoy the taste of a good beer.
I can't drink. I can't process the alcohol properly so I become quite ill. I'm the permanent DD of my group.
once spent £200 in a bar on myself *and* people bought me drinks.
The most expensive drink i had all night cost £3.50 to give you some perspective.
Also beat a few navy girls at drinking contests before.
the most ridiculous was about 4 litres of scotch whisky in a night. I was nearly hospitalized but threw it all up before they could call an ambulance.
I don't drink anywhere near as much as i used to, once every six months on average but i can easily finish a few bottles of spirits when i do. (LOVE me some russian standard vodka)

My tolerance has severely dropped since highschool. I used to be able to drink a large bottle of rum (The > 1Litre bottles) and still be civil, well spoken and charming. (As charming as a drunk youth can be). Now though, I think half a carton of beer would see me dancing badly and falling over.
