Isnt 0.14% of alcohol in blood concentration pretty high? Thats like 5 shots of 40% liquor, or 5 500ml beers.

0.1% = 1‰. About 4‰ is in the fatal range. 1.4‰ is okay.

Microsoft must have been binge drinking since Windows 7 was released. The teams that manage the rest of their software must not even know what it's like to be remotely sober, I'm surprised the Outlook server team hasn't died.

When I’m drunk, either:
It's both. Your inhibitions are lower so you speak more naturally and use more words without consideration of correctness which, if you think about it, is fine generally. Native speakers of a language are amazingly good at deduction of what a non native speaker is intending. You also don't pay attention to your mistakes, which makes the conversation flow easier for everyone.
For me, it's also a matter speaking louder - I have a (normal, I think) tendency to say things I'm unsure of quieter, so sometimes I've mumbled something that was correct (or correct enough) causing the very communication problems I was worried about.
