If you don't feel buzzed, you're good. The rule of thumb is safe (as in really safe, not the slurred "I'm fine. . . . ") to drive, safe to nurse.

I waited 8 hours and drank a quart of water before I nursed her. Im still nervous about it though. I hope it was ok.
Next time, don't bother. If you aren't impaired, then baby will be fine. I'd actually be more worried about the Red Bull than the vodka, lol....
8 hours is plenty of time. Nothing to be nervous about!
