Some good, simple rules that have allowed me to party with the wildest and still keep my wits:
1. Eat properly beforehand. This has been said before, but it's important!
2. Alternate between alcoholic and soft drinks. One beer, one soda, one drink, one glass of juice and so on to stay hydrated.
3. Keep your own pace. Take smaller sips, stay away from shots and remember it's not a competition, it's about having fun!
4. (Optional in case of asshats) Pretend. Order alcohol free drinks that look just like ordinary. A glass of orange juice could just as well be a screwdriver, just drink it like you would drink a screwdriver!
5. Before going to bed, take a brisk walk and drink lots of water.
Some people have a higher tolerance by birth. Studys show that those run a higher risk of becoming alcoholics however, so don't be too jealous of them!
