Are you asian?
A friend of mine from high school is allergic to alcohol. He gets drunk VERY easily, and ALWAYS breaks out in a rash on his neck/face. He is asian, and he told me that his doctor informed him that it isn't all too uncommon for people of asian descent to be allergic to alcohol.

It all depends on how old you are. If I did that say, right around legal drinking age, or before that, it would be no problem, but now, I would end up with a lower back ache, being incredibly emotionally screwy, and hungover as hell by the time it was over.
Back in the day, a friend and I would polish off one of those bottles in a day and a half, and feel fine.
Don't make it a habit. Trust me on that one. Unless you wanna abuse your body and mind.
1.5 L of hard alcohol is equivalent to a 30 pack of canned domestic beer. that's 7.5 crappy beers per day.

This is true... my adopted sister is Korean, and she has this problem. Can be troublesome if she needs to take cold medicine, mouthwash, etc.

Well from talking to my friend I gather that this allergy is more of an annoyance than a real health risk.
He actually likes the fact that he can get drunk 5x faster than any of us (and 5x cheaper, as well!) 
You'll probably just want to be careful with how much you drink. Don't over-do it, and you should be fine - aside from the rash
