I used to be a specialist alcohol worker and there is absolutely no 'standard' way of being able to tell.
You could get drunk from one drink or five; it just depends on your age, gender, weight, tolerance (i.e. how used to alcohol you are) and whether you have eaten or not. Also whether you are taking certain medications can make a difference.
It also depends on how fast you drink - your liver takes one hour to metabolise one unit of alcohol (equivalent to a single measure of spirit, glass of wine or one half of lager) so if you drink at a slower rate, you'll not get drunk as quickly because it gives your liver time to deal with the alcohol in your blood.
If you drink many drinks in a short time, the alcohol stays in your blood stream longer because your liver can't deal with it at once, and you feel drunk.
Small, lighter people will tend to get drunk faster than larger heavier people, and men have more water in their bodies than women so alcohol is more 'dilute' in their blood streams, which is why women have less tolerance.

really...on the type of alcohol:
beer need at least 8 to 12 cold ones
alcohol like vodka 3 or 4 martini's or tonic water
wine like pinot noir 2 bottles equals 6 to 8 glasses
it also depends on food consumption and if your in the heat or not.

Easy stay on your feet and keep walking while you drink. When you can't do that anymore YOU'RE DRUNK. Oh and have a friend keep the score as you might forget.

it depends on the alcohol, your gender and your weight.
It takes more alcohol to get a larger person drunk.
It takes more alcohol to get a man drunk than a woman of the same weight.
It takes fewer drinks if there's a lot of alcohol in the product.
A few shots of whiskey will get you drunker than several beers. It depends on what you want to drink.

Man if you give actual liquor then it takes a lot. If I am forced to drink beer then that would be about 6. Not sure why that is?
