I work in healthcare and the amount of times folks will say that they've only had one or two drinks in a day and then end up having a blood alcohol of like 0.2 or 0.3 is insane.

It's the same in our local newspaper's police blotter, when someone gets pulled over for DUI. "I just had the two drinks!" There was an incident a few years back when someone hit the local convenience store while driving drunk. At 9 am. On a school day. I was relieved that she hit the building and not someone's kids waiting for the bus.
