This morning I only walked a little over one mile, My balance issues
were bothering me, as they often do, and I must have looked like I was
totally drunk by the time I got back. I wasn't, of course. I'd last
had a couple of ounces of Cognac last night at about 1800.

 
 For amusement, I ran those numbers through an online blood alcohol
 calculator.

 The results were zero percent blood alcohol level after 8 hrs sleep.
 
 I had to guess at most of the parameters:
 Weight = 180 lbs
 "a couple of oz" = 2 oz
 Cognac is about 50% alcohol
 "last night" sleep time = 8 hrs.
 
 I suspect that 2 oz of cognac is wrong and that "a couple of
 oz" really means the traditional "tulip glass" which is 6 oz.

Not sure what glasses you're looking at, but they might be only
partly filled (i.e., 1-2 ounces) if used anything like a snifter.

Something like these:

However, you're right.  I didn't notice that such tulip glasses always
are shown partly filled.  From the original text, I interpreted "a
couple of oz" to mean two oz. 

That makes me curious why one would use a rather large glass for a
rather small amount of cognac.

"Cognac experts claim that tulip glasses give a wider range of smells
due to the shape, whereas brandy snifters trap all of the aroma inside
the glass leaving you with only the harsh scent of the alcohol."
