But that is exactly the problem. The very organ that we use to make decisions and access risk factors - the brain - is the one being impacted by the alcohol. Frankly, I don't think its unreasonable to still drive after having had one or even two drinks. More than that and your starting to skate on thin ice (or drive, as the case might be).

Billy Bob's brain tells him that after 4 drinks he's the funniest man in the bar, that every woman will want to go home with him , and that he's the best driver since Mario Andretti. Wrong every time.
