You can legally drive up to .07 but .08 and above and you are going to jail buddy. I live in North Dakota and back in September i was arrested for a dui and i can guarantee you it is not worth the risk i was without a lic. for 6 months and trust me that little card doesn't mean anything to you until they take it away. Sorry about the rambling but i think everyone is different on the way they absorb alcohol i think generally after about two beers or two ounces of liquor you are pushing the limit so after that i highly recommend giving up the keys.
Edit: I found this answer for you that was already posted, as I didn't know the answer myself.

A unit equals 10ml of pure alcohol. That’s how much an adult body can get rid of in an hour.
How many units in a drink?
330ml bottle standard lager/beer: 1.7 units
Can of standard lager: 2.1 units
275ml bottle alcopop: 1.5 units
1 litre bottle of vodka: 37.5 units
1 litre bottle of cider: 5 units
A range of effects
1 OR 2 DRINKS...
...Loss of inhibition, slower reaction times
3 OR 4 DRINKS...
...giggly and excited, possible overconfidence,
judgement worsened, slower reactions
MORE DRINKS...
...slurred speech, dizziness, loss of self
control, staggering
LOTS OF DRINKS...
...loss of memory, sleepiness, coma, death
Younger drinkers
You know the legal drinking age is 18 but why is this?
Younger bodies are smaller so they get drunk quicker. Because young bodies aren’t fully developed yet, the liver can’t cope with getting rid of the alcohol and gets damaged more easily as a result.
Boys and girls...
Because of the physical differences in our bodies girls get drunk quicker and shouldn’t try to keep up with boys. The same amount of alcohol could cause girls more harm. Large amounts taken quickly can cause alcohol poisoning (painful and dangerous). Very drunk people fall asleep and can choke to death on their own vomit. Being drunk can lead to unplanned or unprotected sex, which can mean getting sexually transmitted infections or an unplanned pregnancy.
What can go wrong?
Alcohol affects our judgement and makes us less sensitive to other people’s feelings. If you drink, it might make you do or say things you’ll regret later. This can result in arguments & fights with your mates. You might get hurt or even get a criminal record. Alcohol affects our mood. Even small amounts can amplify our emotions. That’s why drinking
alcohol when we’re worried or feeling down can make us feel even worse. Drinking outside increases your chances of
having an accident or falling asleep outdoors and freezing to death (hypothermia).

Depending on what the level you were on when you stopped drinking but the normal time it takes for alcohol to clear from your respiratory system is at least 24 hours.

The common statement is that 1 ounce of alcohol is burned per hour so one is not impaired. What that means in terms of "normal" and in terms of being below the legal limit one hour after taking in a bottle of beer, a shot of liquor or a glass of wine, is unspecified by me.

The number of drinks you've had minus the number of hours you have been drinking minus 3 should give you the number of hours to go before you can pass a breath test.

according to what I have read it is possible to still blow over the limit the next day after drinking alot the night before even if the effects have worn off.
