For instance, I just read that the "Tequila Slammer" drink is to be shaken and then consumed rapidly so that the "bubbles" increase the rate with which the Tequila is absorbed. Is this true, and if so, in all cases of carbonated beverages containing alcohol?

Carbonation litterally tickles the pyloric valve between the stomach and the duodenum causing it allow the alcohol in the carbonated drink to pass into the small intestine faster.
So, yes, you will feel the effects of a carbonated alcoholic beverage faster than with a non-carbonated drink, but you won't end up any drunker. That is still a matter of the total amount of alcohol consumed.

absolutely NO.
most carbonation (CO2) in a beverage typically fizzles out and what actually reaches your stomach is quickly absorbed (the CO2, not the alcohol). What is does do in Tequila Slammers, is that the bubbles help you down it faster and masking the strong taste of tequila. for a better example, simply do a straight shot of tequila (no lime/salt) and then a tequila slammer and you will surely see the difference.
a bartender that tells you that it does is simply doing his/her job which is sell you more or play into your likes/dislikes. drinking from a straw however will intoxicate you quicker since most people tend to consume quicker through a straw.
if you are looking at getting drunk quicker, simply drink on an empty stomach (PS--if you go and drink 50 shots of anything on an empty stomach and get alcohol poisoning, i am hereby making a disclaimer that doing so will probably kill you and nobody should even reasonably think that it was aresult of me suggesting that you take a shot of tequila and a slammer. sheesh)

Carbonation in a beverage containing alcohol when it enters your stomach "tickles" the lining to the entrance to your intestines causing alcohol to enter quicker. There it is absorbed at a much quicker rate into your blood stream then it would be at any other part of your body.
So to answer your question, Yes.

Yes I have heard this to be true from a bartender, also drinking through a straw, you tend to drink it faster I think.

No. The reason why you would get drunk fast with yopur slammer is because you chugged it. You'd get drunk fast by chugging anything.

Yes. Anything that you think will intoxicate you, will.
