But now my girlfriend wants me to drive a car
She doesn't want me to drive her anywhere - she has her own car!

"kafam az güzel" is not a correct sentence..
kafa = head
az = little
güzel = beautiful, pretty so if we put it together my head is a little beautiful..so when I read this sentence first I didn't even think you are a little bit drunk, I thought you are not in a happy mood..
when it comes to kullanmak and sürmek...you can use both words really but kullanmak is more common.

You can say:
"Kafam biraz güzel" not "kafam az güzel". I cannot give you a good explanation for it at the moment.

Caliptrix, it seems that you're turkish, but why do you ask this? 
Have you ever heard any other usage of it? I haven't.

Ah yes, I forget, there's another usage, and it's also used for having taken drugs (eroin, cocain, morphine and so on  )

Let me remind you guys that "Kafam güzel" does not mean "I am drunk".
There is a little difference. "Kafam güzel" means that I am in a state that I am not drunk yet but if I continue to whatever I am doing ( alchool, drug, whatever .. ), even a little more, I will be...
Another slang, with very familiar meaning with "kafam güzel" is "çakır keyif".

Let me visualize it.
Assume that being in Canada = being drunk and being in United States is being normal.
When somebody says that "Kafam güzel", he/she is standing exactly on the border line of USA and Canada. One further step to Canada, he/she will be drunk One step back away from the border line to USA, he/she won't be drunk.

You seem to have the same definition of "drunk" as I do!!!!!
" if you can hold onto the floor without holding on then you are not drunk "
kafam çok güzel
