This was a serious question, and you’re all making light of it???
Jer 25:27 ¶Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
It seems as though Scripture teaches us that we basically know when we are drunk.
As a matter of civil penalty, like for drunk driving, if we want to punish it, we have to set a level like the .08.
But for moral purposes, the assumption seems to be, we know when we are drunk. I imagine the blood alcohol level would vary at least slightly with each person.
I’d venture to say that if you are drinking, and start to feel like you are getting drunk, so then you stop, you are probably keeping God’s word.
We all know when (1) we've had too much on one occasion (maybe not until the next morning...), and (2) when we're just drinking too much all the time (maybe not until someone tells us...).
Read your Bible for guidance, as in everything else. Proverbs has a lot of it, Paul wrote a lot of it, and it's all through God's word.
But lighten up, folks, it's okay to be "merry" within some reasonable bounds now and then, and
...if the way is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, when the Lord your God blesses you, because the place is too far from you, which the Lord your God chooses, to set his name there, then you shall turn it into money and bind up the money in your hand and go to the place that the Lord your God chooses and spend the money for whatever you desire—oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your appetite craves. And you shall eat there before the Lord your God and rejoice, you and your household. [Dt. 14:24-26, ESV]Rejoice, y'all, just don't be "addicted to much wine." Well, that, and don't make a fool of yourself; you're always the current and present example of us all...
This shouldn't be a problem for us. If you drink, "do all to the glory of God."
Think hard about that, okay?
Yea, verily. Thou art $hit-faced.
