You're right, there are different levels of intoxication when it comes to drinking. But I don't think people are talking about getting into a car after the first drink. It's that "I'm soo fuckin drunk" or even "Damn I got a really good buzz" state where people shouldn't be driving. If you go out to dinner and have a couple glasses of wine or a few beers it's not such a big deal(depending on your weight of course). But if you're drinking to get drunk, you shouldn't be driving. Period!
