Probably fair, but the thing is most people aren't bright enough or care enough to do that.
How many beers are 12 oz anymore?
How many glasses of wine are literally only 5 oz?
And with mixed drinks there is clearly a lot of variance that can be involved there.
Sounds like you're fine with it.. but it is very common for someone to think they stuck to 1 drink/hour but are still over the legal limit. That's all I was saying. It is easy to get a DUI while not thinking they are drunk. It is very easy to be over the legal limit without knowing it. Before I did some of this work I had no idea how many times I was above the limit.
