There are three ways, one of which is not recommended.
1) Drink slower, or drink more diluted cocktails. Or, stop when you start to get buzzed, sober up a bit and then start again.
2) Eat beforehand. The common reason is to "let the food soak up the alcohol." The stupidity of such a statement aside, what this actually does is cause alcohol to be absorbed slower, since your stomach is busy processing food as well.
3) Not recommended: increase your tolerance. The only way to do this is drink more frequently or, in line with suggestion 2, gain weight. Neither option is healthy or smart. Which leads me to option #4: Why do you want to last longer? It's better for your body, mind and wallet to drink less. Hell, I wish I was a lightweight - I have a friend who never spends more than $10 at the bar, when I'm spending $40-80. It's a REAL drain.
Alcohol, whether in beer or liquor, can make you feel sleepy. The difference in effects between beer and liquor is more related to the amount of alcohol consumed rather than the type of alcohol. Drinking too much of either can lead to drowsiness and impaired coordination.

Drinking alcohol (beer, wine or liquor) helps reduce gastritis.
Alcohol itself doesn't persuade. However, the medical consensus that drinking alcohol (beer, wine and liquor) contributes to good health and longevity is persuasive.
The effects of drinking spirits or "hard liquor" are the same as for drinking beer and wine. If consumed regularly and in moderation, alcohol promotes good health and greater longevity. They are associated with negative effects if abused.
Drinking alcohol (beer, wine and liquor) in moderation reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by about 40%.
The alcohol in beer, wine and liquor is the same kind and standard drinks of beer, wine and liquor have the same amount of alcohol (.6 oz). They are completely equal to a breathalyzer.
beer
Liquor contains far more alcohol per unit of volume than beer. A typical beer is somewhere around 5% alcohol, whereas liquor typically contains over 40%. This means it takes much less liquor to get intoxicated(drunk) vs beer. Liquor also dehydrates the body more because of the higher alcohol content. Beer contains a large amount of water and therefore helps combat this effect.
