Am I really a lightweight drinker?

So Im 18 and went up to Canada on a cruise. Whole there basically I went on a pub crawl. This was my first time drinking at all and well it didnt end too well. I ended up having 20 oz of Moosehead Lager, 20 oz of Guinnes, and about 20 oz of numerous other drinks. Then I had a shot of patrone and about 30 minutes later ended up puking. I was drinking on a compleatly empty stomach, and all this happened in about 3 hours or so. When I got home I told one of my friends and they are convinced Im a lightweight. Is this true?

Update:

By the way, Im a 5 10 male who weighs 160 lbs.

    You had some strong stuff there. You just drank too many mixed drinks which caused you to puke.

    It could go either way. What you had wasn't really a lot, but considering it was your first time, on an empty stomach and you mixed a lot of drinks it's completely understandable that you would throw up.

    Your friends have no idea what they're talking about, in the future you'll (possibly) drink much more than that and not get ill...

    The first time I went out and got well and truly drunk (and ill) my friends were convinced I was a lightweight too; I had 1-2 shots of rum, downed a large glass full of rum and had about 5 cans of average strength beer before that. After all of that, I went on a trampoline so it's no surprise that I was ill like I was, but kids being kids I spent the next two years trying to get rid of the label ''lightweight'', 4 years later I'm 18 and I can outdrink most people I know.

    First off--- who cares if your a lightweight? just means you get drunk cheaper.

    To answer your question though I don't think what you had (considering the other factors such as: on an empty stomach, and your an inexperienced drinker (therefore your body hasn't built up much of any tolerance yet) and the results that happened (puking) make you a lightweight. So in my opinion, NO to the subject line question.

    And unless your friend is a lot bigger than you or drank a lot more than you have, than I wound't be surprised if your friend also go sick from drinking the same amount you did.
