Maybe, instead of saying you have driven `without any ill side effects',
you ought to say you have driven and been lucky.  Even one glass of beer
affects your reaction time.  `A few' is that much worse.  So you have 
thus far managed not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, where
you may have needed just a bit longer reaction time and didn't have it.

Yes, I'd call getting stopped by the police (at the very least) or 
driving into another car or a pedestrian `ill side effects'.
Congratulations.
