Drunkenness is what the government defines as drunkenness.

True; but that isn't what this thread asked:

From a Biblical standpoint, when is drunkenness reached?

And from a biblical standpoint, we are to defer to the government on such matters as these. Render to Caesar that which is Caesar's, but more to the point, "obey every law and ordinance..."

Romans 13:3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4 For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

So, if the state says you're drunk when you get behind the wheel with .06 BAC, then you are also biblically drunk.

It's a good and positive law and rule, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Nazis....only with drunks.
