Can you cite any references for this, (highlighted part of statement above) other than the occassional addled-brained CHL instructor?
Well fine..it says "intoxicated" but I will bet you if you get nailed...it doesn't matter if you blow a .01 or whatever...the anti's will throw a fit and the news outlets will plaster "a Drunk CHL'er"

I don't want to be the one to test this but this was a matter of discussion with my CHL instructor. I couldn't believe the law would just throw out the word "intoxicated" without definition. TPC 49.01 clearly states the definition of the term "intoxicated" and no where can I find any special circumstances for CHL.

If I were to follow my instructors view I would be in violation if I had a beer before coming home from a neighbors.

Haven't received my plastic yet (58 days down) and I'm just trying to get the lay of the land so to say. I guess the best rule of thumb is if in doubt don't do it.
