I'll get this one, but it will be your last because I dont feel comfortable serving more than 4 in that time period". OK. So let me get this straight... it is my day off and I finally get to have some drinks on the flight, I am not being loud or obnoxious, It is a long flight and I weigh about 210. 4 drinks in 3 hours is not sending me over the edge... or even getting me a buzz I think she is being lazy and does not want make anymore drinks.

I disagree. She made a call which may well have been within her discretion, but what exactly makes it "proper"? Seems to me that she's more than a little out of bounds. From the OP's info, it appears that he's had three drinks over the course of three hours. At his weight, a normal male will metabolize about one ounce of alcohol per hour. Presuming he's been served drinks with about one ounce of alcohol, he's fully sober and most likely would blow a .02 or less. The FA was out of line, but what's new? That seems to be more and more the case since the new Delta arrived.
