I teach at a 141 school associated with a big state university so drinking occurs all the time. I tell my students 8 hours bottle to throttle - that includes even a single beer at lunch. I sometimes I have to stop myself from putting Bailey's in my coffee on weekends when I have to work.
But also I tell my students you can be completely obliterated 10-12 hours before your flight and still be over the .04. Also if you eventually got it down below .04, most people will be hung over as heck.
