It's about 2.5 drinks if you drink them as shots, in 10-20 minutes. It's very close to 3 standard drinks consumed over 1 hour. Standard drink is 14 grams of alcohol. A standard bar "tip pour" is often 2-3 standard drinks so got to be careful with that one JD+Coke.
But yes, no-one should play that close to the numbers. But you can safely drink a beer and still be 100% legal to drive, even with 0.05BAC limit. Just don't make that beer a 9% IPA
