Yeah but let's be realistic do you stay off the roads when you eat pasta with a nice red wine sauce?
You consumed alcohol so your judgment must be impaired.
Let's keep the discussion to amounts of alcohol that can actually impair a person. No matter what you say drinking a single bottle of beer (especially with food) does not in any noticeable or measurable way effect my judgment.

Actually it is neither. All that matters is that a person is (or is not) intoxicated/impaired because of the alcohol.
Conceivably someone could get an impaired driving charge after only a single beer, IF it impaired their driving. I know how much alcohol and in what situations my driving is impaired. I don't drive in those situations.
