Wouldn't a pint of shandy, or a half of Watneys, threaten to put you over that limit? Is it the same with GA in the U.K. I'm wondering?
Yes - the limit applies to any pilot regardless of the type of licence they hold. The law really intends to create a zero alcohol rule. The small amount it allows for is intended to deal with very small amounts of alcohol that naturally occur in some individuals as a result of production by the body as opposed to consumption.

Watneys - I wonder if that party seven can is still doing the student party circuit?
