There are a LOT of variables here. I don't know where to start.

We use "one hour per drink" as the baseline for alcohol to clear your system. A drink is a 12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce wine or an ounce of distilled spirits. A 40 of Colt 45 is NOT one drink, m'kay? So assuming you didn't have the four beers for breakfast, you should be okay.

We also must assume here that you're going to be tested for alcohol. Most drug tests don't look for alcohol--why would they? It's a legal product not sold by prescription. If you're being tested for alcohol, it's because you've got an alcohol problem. Right now the hip, hot alcohol test of the moment is for ethyl glucoronide, which sees alcohol metabolites for 96 hours after you last drink. If you're being EtG tested, you've had it. If they just want to see if you're drunk now, you're fine (once again, assuming you didn't drink the four beers the morning of the test).
