Sorry. But NOPE. Get a 6 pack. Sit down at your keyboard at a website like Mavis Beacon and take a typing test without any alcohol.

Drink one can. Take the test again. It will have degraded.

Drink another can. Take the test again. It will have degraded more.

Take the test again after your 3rd can. It will have degraded quite noticeably.

Drink your 4th can. Take the test again. Notice how degraded it is now. Remind yourself that such fine motor coordination is the first to be put to sleep by the alcohol. And fine motor coordination is quite essential to safe driving.

Drink your 5th can. Take the test again. Notice how very significantly degraded it is.

Drink your 6th can. Take the test again--if you can. Finish it, if you can. Notice what a mess it is.

The judgment center in the brain begins to be put to sleep WITH THE FIRST drink. That's the part of your brain that tells you when enough is enough and too much is too much. And you are trying to convince me that with that part of your brain asleep, you'll still know when too much is too much? BS. And there's thousands of deaths to prove I'm right.

I don’t know about typing and beer, but there was an interesting study done with rifles and whiskey. (Yeah, I have no idea how they got that approved. !!! )

After one shot of whiskey, accuracy IMPROVED.

But after that it was all downhill.

I think the theory is that a LITTLE alcohol can calm nerves, relax people. That said, I prefer that people who’ve had ANY drinks stay off the road. And away from firearms. I don’t care if a little bit improves your driving or shooting because it is extremely difficult to measure how much is “a little”. It can vary from day to day and from person to person.
