The best Long Island I ever had was at a Chili's, surprisingly. I'd had them there before, and they were usually OK, but one night they must have had a bartender on duty who knew his/her shit. My guess is that they made the version where the tequila is removed and an extra 1/4 ounce of the other liquors are added to compensate.

If I have them with a meal, I have to have 3-4 long islands before I start to feel it. If on an empty stomach, I'll start feeling it about halfway through the second glass.

I don't know why alcohol has so little an effect on me, I'm not a big guy.. I'm about 5'9" and 165 lbs. The only time I have ever been drunk, I had three glasses of wine and nine shots of tequila, all on an empty stomach. Even then I could walk and talk pretty normally, I could just feel my head spinning.

The first time I ever drank was hilarious. A bunch of navy friends of mine tried to get me drunk, and I drank them all under the table. Heheh. Plus, I've never had a hangover.
