Plus, that is my whole point. It is one thing to claim that any amount of alcohol (even just a sip) impairs a persons judgment. Theoretically I'm sure that on some level that is true. Even just a single drop of alcohol might cause a microscopic level of impairment. It might only last for 2 minutes though.
Let's be realistic here though. We are talking about enough alcohol to impair a persons driving. 99.9% of the population will be 100% sober if they consume a drop of alcohol.
For all intents and purposes there is absolutely no driving impairment for most people if they have one or two drinks.

I am not sure why you keep posting this stuff, it is simply not true. I have had to take SERIOUS courses (for work) on 'impairment', and from what the experts have told me (I have taken the course twice) that each drink someone takes causes increased impairment, starting with the first. Each drink of alcohol impacts the brain in ways that cause decreased reaction time, decreased 'common sense' and decreased attention (and other problems). This has been tested numerous times and they all result in the same way: Drinking, even one drink, impacts driving negatively. Please, if you want to continue posting in this thread, stop posting your opinion on alcohol as facts unless you have at least studied the subject.
