Two, three, four, or even five small beers are not likely to make you drunk, but as has been said, they will put you on the wrong side of the law.
I'm not advocating drink driving, but if you have had a couple of beers, even if it's only two or three small ones, why would you risk going through a check point in the first place. In all the time I have been here, I can't recall a single occasion where the check point has been hidden from view.
As a general rule, I always tend to avoid them unless I'm in a hurry simply because they can always find reason to fine you if they really want to, especially in my case because I'm always on my saleng.
Saying that, I've never yet been stopped on my saleng even when I've go through check points. 
I guess I'm also lucky because I'e been here long enough to know most of their favorite spots, and when they're likely to be there.
