Does someone texting while driving or applying makeup while driving experience similar impairment? Yes. But only as long as they're doing so. The impairment disappears instantly when the phone or make-up are put away, whereas the drunk is drunk for the whole trip.

Oh, I definitely agree, no doubt. It points to impairment if being done if and when it causes an accident. And a drunk driver can drive all the way to his/her destination and not have an accident, even if only by the defensive driving of others, but is still seriously impaired the whole distance.
