> I'm not qualified to give exact numbers, but I'd say a drink of alcohol is about as potent as 1 mg Xanax and wears off much more quickly. DUI level would be about 4-6 mg Xanax.
P.S. If you're taking high doses of Xanax (over 3mg), do not drive, and expect people to think you're drunk. I was actually detained while trying to board an amtrak train after just taking 3mg Xanax -- the conductor thought I was drunk. Breathalyser showed zero alcohol in my system so I was allowed to board, but it was annoying. If you take Xanax (6 hour duration of effect), the highest dose should be taken at bedtime to avoid this problem.
