It depends on so many factors. What is this drink? A shot? A glass of wine? A mug of beer? Also, how tall are you? How much do you weigh? How fast is your metabolism? What type of alcohol is it? Is it a light beer, German beer, liquor, wine? For the average person, after having drunk one can/bottle of regular beer (let's say for example budweiser), they will be able to drive. That is to say, their vision will not be impaired. That is not to say you should drink one bottle before you drive, because everyone is special, and you might be one individual that the affects are extreme, so to speak.

∙ 13y agoIt greatly depends on your definition of a "drink" (alcohol content and type), your body weight, and how long you have been drinking. Studies shows that even a small amount of alcohol - in many cases, as few as one or two beers - can seriously affect judgment and driving decisions. For a 150lb male, this comes out to almost .02 BAC for each 12oz beer, 5oz glass of wine, or 1oz shot of 80-proof liquor consumed. Most states' "DUI cutoff" for BAC is .08-.10 but decision-making and reaction time can be affected by as little as .02-.04 BAC.

∙ 10y agoBecause alcohol slows reaction times and perception of danger ! If you're driving - you should be medically capable to do so . If you drink and drive, you're likely to crash your car - most probably into a person - killing them !
