First thing -- how quickly did Billy Bob consume the three beers and how long after the last one did he get in his car and drive away?
Next - you are asking a theoretical question that I'm not convinced applies in real life. Assuming that Jimbo has passed a driving exam at some point, and assuming that Billy Bob drank three beers in an hour and then drove, I don't believe that any Billy Bob will drive better than the sober Jimbo.
In any case, I
am sure that Billy Bob sober drives better than Billy Bob with three beers in him. The decision to drive with decreased ability is reckless.
