I wouldn't call 2-4 drinks impairment... then again I don't often drink in a time span that I would otherwise spend doing productive or difficult things.

Same here. Mild sleep deprivation usually impairs me much more (and the two things don't seem to add linearly for me -- if I'm already sleep-deprivated, drinking alcohol on top of that won't make things much worse). Then again, I'm about 90 kg (198 lb) and this needn't generalize to smaller people.
