Get buzzed and slow down
Stay at the "buzzed level" and then order a glass of water with everyone of your drinks. Don't order your next drink till you finish the water. If you stay at one drink every 30ish minutes, you can drink all night long, stay loose, and you'll have nothing when it comes to a hangover the next day.
This is more of a "stretch" method than an increase your tolerance method. The only way to do that is to drink.. a often. But like Jyms said? Why? If you're lookin' to get toasty, it's better to get there cheaply.
Also: Alcohol tolerance is NOT a measure of your body weight as we once originally believed. Sure body weight has something to do with it, but there is an enzyme in your stomach that catalyzes alcohol. Surprisingly enough, red meat, and pickled things (eggs, pickles, pigs feet, sausages )help foster this enzyme. Also, drinking on back to back nights causes rapid increase of this enzyme in your body.
Final word of warning. There is an old myth that drinking an entire fifth once enables you to do it again at a later date. Any time you drink an entire fifth of alcohol you've officially taken your life into your hands, and may be dead while you're walking.
