One thing I've been amazed to learn by having one of those cheap little breathalyzers is that after a big night out (birthday, bachelor party, etc) followed by 12 hours off, you can still blow 0.08 (DWI limit for driving most places) and still feel perfectly fine.

*Yeah, yeah, I've heard those little things are not 100% accurate, but if it says you're blowing 0.08%, no doubt you shouldn't be flying or driving. When they're off they under-estimate your BAC*

An 8 hour cutoff is not much good if you've just had 10-12 drinks.

4-5 beers shouldn't cause a problem if you give yourself ample time, but if they are the more potent kinds (8% ABV or higher), 8 hours probably won't be enough time for it to clear your system.

When in doubt, don't go out. The one thing I'd fear is being in the boarding area and being asked by a pax, "Hey, didn't I see you at the hotel bar last night?" If you happened to be within your company's cutoff time, you could be in some hot-water if the individual escalates the matter. At this point, guilty till proven innocent............

Do yourself a favor and have 2 Hop Slams early into a 15 hour layover. You will be content and wake up feeling 100%. Don't have a 3rd.

Beware the strong drinks: One isn't enough, two is too many, three isn't enough...

That is pretty close to an AA saying: One is too many, and a thousand is not enough.
