The amount of drinks it takes for you to become drunk depends on many different factors. Some of these include age, gender, and weight. Note: If you drink a lot, it will take longer for you to feel drunk. You'll still be drunk, but your body has built up somewhat of a tolerance to it. Thus, it will take longer for you to feel the effects.
It's not how much you drink, it's why you drink. Active alcoholics or those with alcohol abuse problems may show any or all of the following symptoms. Any are cause for alarm.
There is a pamphlet available in many AA meetings and at some clinics or doctors offices that lists a set of questions that you can ask yourself to see if you might be an alcoholic. No one else can say for sure if you are an alcoholic except you, but there are some strong indicators. Including the ones above,
I could go on and on. If you drink alone at home, and you drink more than one or two beers, and you wonder if you might be an alkie, well, there's three, Any two or three might be good enough... maybe it's time to find out. You can check your local AA meetings. There's nothing to lose in the process. You can wander around in some of the rooms for a few weeks, listen to what some of the folks in there say about their Alcoholism and see what you think. If you don't agree with what is offered there or don't think you need it, you don't have to go; you can walk right back out the door and never return. No one is going to chase after you or force you to stay. But, it is worth checking out if you want to know. It won't kill you to check it out. But, not checking it out if you are an alcoholic and just continuing to drink might kill you... or someone else on a road someday when you are too drunk to drive but too stubborn to realize it, or when the alcohol convinces you into something else equally deadly or when your body just can't take it anymore.
So, the answer is, there is no set answer. Only the alcoholic knows for sure. It's however many drinks that person can stand before s/he says that's enough for him or her and s/he isn't going to stand it anymore. S/he can make that today, or S/he can make it another day. Everyone quits eventually; some just wait until it kills them or until they end up insane or locked up in jail. The decision belongs totally to the alcoholic and no one else.
That's actually a very difficult question to answer because there's no "correct" answer. Alcoholics drink until they're ready to take a break. Some can stay buzzed or "drunk" for days. It all comes down to the alcoholic at hand.
Absolute quantity is not the point, it's whether you can't do without alcohol.
For some, the fist drink makes them an alcoholic. To me an alcoholic is someone who w cannot do without a drink.

The highest proof alcohol is about 180 proof or 90% alcohol.
Yes, because alcohol is sugar-based, therefor it contains a great many carbs.
So that the men can be brave enought to fight the battles, which, in that case helped them go back out to fight.
There is no set number of drinks that makes you an alcoholic. You're an alcoholic when you become addicted to alcohol--when you're dependent upon the drinks to get you through. If you continue drinking even though you know there will be serious consequences to your health, if you feel you can't stop, if you're hiding your drinking, if it's becoming a problem in your personal life...you're an alcoholic. If that doesn't answer it for you, try the Alcoholics Anonymous website (www.aa.org). It has lots of information.

There are many types of alcoholic drinks and some are indeed considered to be a mixture. This depends on what type of drink one is referring to.
Tens of thousands - over a lifetime. They need not be alcoholic either.
Generally speaking non-alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are allowed to have a ABV of below 1.0%, in which non-alcoholic beer would fall into that category.
It varies depending on the persons tolerance and body mass.
