Is alcohol the answer? If so, straighten me out OOT

I was really into taking shots going into my freshman year of college. I decided to take about 10 shots of different kinds of liquor: Jager, rum, vodka, etc. in about 30 minutes, about a month into my freshman year. This was a very bad idea. Needless to say, I spent the rest of the party on the bathroom floor until well into the next day. This is when I started drinking beer. Not Natty or Beast, but good beer. I found that I got a nice buzz of drinking it, but it wasn't enough to make me black out.
