I’m new to drinking but I end up drinking too much too fast.

All I want is a nice manageable buzz but I feel like I’m drinking too much too fast. Every time I drink I get super drunk and black out because I’m in a hurry to want that buzz. I’ll slam three drinks in a short time period and complain that I don’t feel anything, but then a couple of hours later I am sh*t faced and uncontrollably drunk. Is there a good rule of thumb or a timing hack after each drink?
