Going out on a limb here and presenting a probably unpopular point of view: All of you people who say it is poor form, would never do it, reflects poorly, etc. in relation to drinking a single glass of wine or a single beer with dinner while carrying...if it is that dangerous and that risky to have a dangerous weapon in your possession after one beer, I sure hope you take a taxi every time you go out to dinner w/out your weapon and have that single drink.
People on these same boards often make the comparison between cars and guns and how cars kill people and yet aren't regulated near as heavily nor feared...well you same people are being right hypocritical to tell me that you can drive to dinner and drink a beer, but I can't carry my gun.
All that said, I've never done it, but I wouldn't look down on someone who did have a beer in front of him at Red Robin with his family any more than I'd think negatively of the same guy to walk outside and get in his truck and drive his family home; and I don't disarm to open a beer at home.
My $.02, worth what you paid for it.

But what you said above, that would be a stretch even for a rookie with an IQ of65 that was just hired at 4:00 p.m. today. And any magistrate that would issue a warrant for a person who simply took a one ounce sip of a beer to see what it tastes like should be fired. Being under the influence usually means so inebriated that one poses a threat to their own safety, or the safety of those around them.
