I'd rather it say "I think you had too much scotch."

Yes, it is grammatically correct. I applaud your precision speech, and your recognition that your construction [an act completed in the past] differs from the alternatives: "you have had...(or you've had..)", an act continuing for some time but completed in the past; "you had had...." an act completed before some other act in the past; or the imperfect, future perfect or various subjunctive constructs.

It seems okay, but maybe I prefer "I think you've had too much." This gives more of a feeling of a process that is continuing until the present, rather than one that happened in the past.
PS: Alternatively, you could just say, "No way you're driving! You're totally sloshed!"

It is a little too cryptic to be self contained but I don't see any grammatical flaws in it.

Yes because it is in the past tense state

It's correct, but you want to rephrase it and say "I think THAT you had too much."

I don't know what Gramme would say about it But,---Gram pa would spank your bottom if you had too much and he didn't have any.

yes. that's the right form of "too" (not two or to)... is that what you meant?

Should be, " I think you've had too much".
