Estimates vary, but the average seems to be in the area of 3 to 4 times the risk of an accident over drivers who are not drinking. The same statistics, BTW, hold for people who talk on the phone while driving, and they are about twice that for people who text and drive.

More than one drink per hour for most people. Alcohol begins to affect your decision-making skills at well below the legal limit.

Technically, though, any amount of alcohol can make you an unsafe driver, since the first thing that is affected is your upper level thinking, and any amount of alcohol will affect that thinking, which is used when driving.

Alcohol increases the risk of accidents because it can impair your judgement in certain situations, like driving for example, and it inhibits your ability to think and move quickly.
