It's very easy to figure out your limit. Devise some reaction test. Can me as eleborate as driving a racing simulator video game on TV, or grabbing a pencil that someone else drops and you have to catch. Establish a baseline to see what your reactions are. If it's the pencil, can you catch it with your hand just 6" below their hand? If so, what about 4"? When you can justy barely catch it 5 times in a row, there's your baseline.
Then, start drinking. About 15 minutes later, do the test again. 5 times. If you catch them, have another beer. 15 minutes later, do the test.
Once you miss 2 pencils, you're done. That's your limit.
My guess is that you won't make it past 3. Most people won't get past 2, unless they eat an hour before the test.
