Suppose:
Bodyweight: 13 stone
Height: 5 foot 9
& drink a half bottle of a 'half bottle' of Glen Rossie whisky. Would that make one unfit to drive? If so, how long before one could be allowed to drive after it?

i would say yes, it sounds alot to drive on but it varies with different people. I wouldn't like to take the risk.

Assuming this is someone with an average metabolic rate. 17cl of 80 proof whisky within 1.5 hour will put you above 0.08% blood alcohol.
At that body mass, it will take about 1 hour to flush out 4cl of the whisky. You need to wait 2 hours or so to have the blood alcohol level under the legal limit and about 4 hours to completely sober up.
As for the "fit to drive" Some people will not be fit even after just 2cl of whisky.

It probably would - and don't forget, it's not how drunk you are it's how much alcohol is on your breath.
I usually work on 1 hour for each unit of alcohol before I drive. So if I have a shandy - 1 hour, if I'm on a double figures bender I'd leave it 24 hours.
I think 25ml of Whisky is roughly 1 unit, and 4 roughly equates to the drink-drive limit in the UK, so 17cl is about 6 units. I'd be careful if I was you.

You couldn't say, it varies from person to person depending on many factors including their metabolism.
But at a guess, after a half bottle of whiskey - yup unfit to drive.

it is approximately 6 each and each 1oz liquids, with a sprint to spare. in case you're lightweights, you're able to get buzzed, based how rapidly your drink them. in case you are trying to get inebriated, i'd bypass get some wine or something to supplement your little bottle. then lower back, i'd properly be devils recommend at cases like this.

i wouldn't risk driving for at least a good ten hours if not more.
just to be on the safe side

As far as the law is concerned, the answer is yes.
