My personal conviction is rather strong - any amount of alcohol should be forbidden. Never. Sometimes I would like it to be the other way round, but believe me it is a way to more alcohol consumption. This is the state of our everyday culture - no rules, no regulations, excessive self-confidence, disregard of public needs and concerns. This is only one little answer why our country can never get out of the social chaos. Why do we want our government to be better if we ourselves spit at our social environment and care not a snap for its improvement? :(

I think it depends. When some people drink a small bottle of beer and then drive only to buy something "more serious". It is a typical behaviour in a company of friends. But on the other hand, if a person was heavily drunk the day before and now he is OK, the percentage of alcohol in his blood may be high and he runs the risk of saying goodbye to his driving licence (or - in our country - of saying goodbye to a big sum of money.
