Actually, I went to Garbon's chart. I was looking at men.

Women seem to be a different scale. The average woman who weighs 100 pounds (per the A&F catalog) apparently hits .05 with just one drink. A woman up to 200 pounds hits it with 2. A 140 pound woman is apparently .07 after 2 drinks, which I assume will keep them over .05 for a bit.

So it seems that if Garbon's chart is correct, women and less heavy men are potentially exposed to a DUI after two drinks. (it is from business insider and claims a source of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
