I was reading this and thought I would pass along what I was told by my chl instructor. He was a police officer if that counts for anything.

Essentially, he said it's up to the officer's discretion whether you are intoxicated. For this reason, you should not be carrying even if you are only having one drink. This does not mean that you can't have an unexpected drink somewhere. A good thing to do would be to break down your firearm, and lock it in a car safe. Then store the ammo somewhere else in the car. If you having a drink comes up from law enforcements point of view, they will have a hard time showing that you are carrying in this situation.
