Tel Aviv District Court rejected an appeal on Sunday to reduce the sentence of a drunk driver who argued he didn't feel incapacitated after drinking three vodkas and a beer.

The judge denied the accused drivers' petition to reduce a two-year suspension of his license, saying that although the driver's appeal put in question the legal definition of drunkenness, the courts were not authorized to redetermine the standard.

He said that the law set a bar beyond which a driver is considered "drunk," and that exceeding carried an automatic penalty of license suspension for at least two years.
