When I was drinking heavily, I bought an evidence grade breathalyzer. I would use it as directed (wait 15m after eating or drinking, etc) and find that at a .08 I felt fine (which means nothing, obviously) but also I could pass FSTs and no one around me (sober or drunk) could tell that I had been drinking.
Not that anecdotes are data, just to say it 100% depends on the person and the circumstances. Alcohol hits me much harder now.
