Sure it was implicit but on top of voicing your opinion on his decision you could have answered his question. Many of you did not.

And originally it was MADD who lobbied at the federal level to change this BAC level. And the states that didn't change the law were withheld their highway funding.
So what you are saying is that your factoid about 1000x more non-alcohol related traffic fatalities is incorrect. Nice deflection asswipe.

I think I have made my answer to his question quite clear.

If the # of people who drive drunk were = to the # of people who don't, those figures would mean something. However, there are far more people who don't drive drunk, wich is why there are more accidents that don't involve alcohol. In short, the % of fatality accidents among drunk drivers is higher than those accidents where drugs or alcohol were not a factor.

I think nucky, barry, and undertaker should all go drinking together. And then drive home. On a back road, preferably with no one else around.

Just curious...How many beers it would take to get someone to hit .08. I had 2 beers once and blew a .01.

I bet no one on this forum has ever drove home from the stadium after drinking.

I'm okay with this, but the legal status of drugs doesn't actually have much impact on drug use. Total drug usage including alcohol & pharms is at an all time high and the black market has never been wealthier.

In a comprehensive study of drivers involved in fatal crashes in all 50 states and DC from 1982-1997, it was estimated that .08 BAC laws reduced driver alcohol-related fatal crashes by 8 percent.

Wouldn't you say that an 8% decrease in fatalities is an overall "good" thing?

A lot of factors involved like size, how much you ate, metabolism....the general rule is about 3 in one hour to blow over.

Probably a faulty breathalyzer or good timing. 3 beers gets you to .10 from what I understand.
