To answer your question, you can be in the driver seat with the keys in the ignition without it running and that is operation of a motor vehicle.
Now, for the 2 beers part, that all depends on the size of the individual. Myself, 2 beers would not put me over the limit as I have been tested with 5 beers in my system(1.5 hours of drinking), I felt as though I was not able to drive, and blew into a breathalizer and I tested below the legal limit but damn close to the 24 hour suspension. Even ehough I did not drive, nor did I feel I was legally able to drive, the police and their meter said I was okay. Now a 150lb female with 5 drinks in her, she would blow over because of her size. But I know a few guys that would gladly drive her home and take her around the bend again. :P
