How do I get my wife drunk?
Every time we go out drinking, it only takes like 2 drinks and I end up having to carry her back to the car and then we go home and she is in bed. After one drink, she still knows what she is doing so I can't get her to try anything, but after that second one, it takes about 10 mins. then she is out. She only drinks light stuff like amaretto sours or some shake tasting thing. What I want to know is, is there someway of making it that she doesn't pass out so easily, I am 100% sure she is not faking it, I have tried some things to her to prove it to myself, and trust me, she is knocked out. I want to be able to have a good time with her so she lets her guard down once in awhile since she is so reserved out in public. Thanks.

I had this same problem with my girlfriend when we first started dating so I sympathize.
The description you are giving of what she's drinking seems to be the problem. Amaretto sours and the "shake thing" you describe usually have of course alot of sugar which can mess a light weight up pretty fast and the "shake" probably contains more than one liquor.
Try switching up drinks. For ladies I always suggest Malibu rum and diet/regular coke or Amaretto (perfect since she already seems to like it) and diet/regular coke. You might also try Bicardi Limon with Sprite. All three of these drinks can have a lime added to them as well for a bit of a kick.
These are still hard alcohols and might knock her out but they have a low volume, especially when mixed with a soda. There is of course still sugar but in these drinks you can tase the alcohol but its not overpowering.
Unsure if your wife is a beer drinker or not but you could try that as well since you can't really gulp beer (at least most people can't) it might provide a slower relaxed drinking atmosphere.
If I can conjecture as well from what you said it seems it is difficult for your wife to let her guard down in public. Again I sympathize. I'd suggest trying to find a local bar somewhat close to home that isn't too main stream, and preferably not a sports bar (the crowd attitude and size there will vary which may add stress to your evening) that you both really enjoy and wouldn't mind visiting again and again this way she might fell more relaxed in a familiar environment.
Personally, my girlfriend and I have a favorite Irish pub within two blocks of our apartment (they know us by name...good and bad? j/k)
Get to know the bartender as well he/she will likely have some suggestions on drinks for each of you to try.
Don't give up as long as she's willing to try new drinks you do the same but of course if she refuses you may have to accept that she's not a bar person.
