A person can reach this level with two drinks; a person with about three drinks; and a person with about four drinks.

A person can reach this level with three drinks; a person with four or five drinks; and a person with six drinks. - JLr, , i charmingly illustrated by Kay Chorao in "Baby's Christmas j Treasury" (Random House).
