5 sentences need help

I don't know if you can say the following:

1 It cost me more in electricity bills than in rent.

2 I've tried more alcohol beverages in my life than both of you put together.

3 Did you like it more when your bed was on this side of the bed than that side/or that side?

4 You're far from stupid.

5 He's not as stupide as he makes out (to be)

6 Before you criticize he, make sure she has nothing to reproach you with.

Thanks

1. o.k. (adding 'it did' after 'than' makes it a little smoother)

2. I'd add 'have' after 'both of you' - same reason, smoother.

3. confused, here. Not sure what you mean. Take another look at it.

4. fine

5. fine, and I would include the parenthetical 'to be', especially in formal writing.

6. o.k.
