Default Ref:DUI

I like to eat where I fly, and that invariably means a drink or two.
My rule is 1 drink: 1.5 hours until last sip to flying. 2 drinks: 3
hours. 3 drinks: FAA 8 hours at least. Night flight: double those
times for 1 or 2 drinks.
Breaking a little bit the 8-hour b-t-t rule, but hey, I am pretty sure I
have that alcohol metabolized.
I gotta believe this is not egregious, and not uncommon. Not legal tho.
Anyone disagree?
