UK is pushing zero tolerance and I'm all for it - thats drink or drugs, Nordic countries already have it.
Obviously there are many factors - weight, food time etc etc but fact is as soon as you drink it starts toreduce your abilities and for me thats enoughto rule you out.
Pure stupid driving is covered by a raft of other leglislation.

I have built in safety system on my chopper. To kick start it requires six different steps. If one step is not right, it will not start and will flood, requiring many kicks with all citeria met. I have fortunately never been able to start it, let alone ride if I'm intoxicated, even if I wanted to.

As Petemac said, it is very subjective. Just what the foo is "buzzed" as compared to drunk, or DWI from one person to the next?! There's no single measurement.
It's all bad when it comes to operating a motor vehicle.

You can always tell the ones that are stoned on weed. They're driving safely at 10 mph and throwing pizza crusts out the window.
