Personnally, I may have one beer with a meal while carrying, but that is the limit for me, and that is a rare instance. And that will depend on my personal condition at the time of the consumption. If a person is tired or not feeling up to par, even one beer can potentially impair them and cause them to be illegally carrying.

Ditto. I am not by nature a drinker anyway. But if I take my wife out on a dinner date, I might have a beer or glass of wine with dinner. But I am a man of "ample proportions" with a commensurate body-weight, and one low-yield adult beverage has little or no effect on me. Also, we never go very far for dinner out anyway, so I usually don't have very far to drive to get home. But generally speaking, I'm happy to sip sweet tea while my wife has a glass of wine, so it is pretty much of a non-issue.
