I grew up in a fairly rural area and to this day I can say that of all my friends that were killed in auto accidents, alcohol was a contributing factor in 90% of them.
I can also attest (with witnesses) to driving or riding with someone so drunk that we shoulda died, yet we survived. Drinking and driving is stupid, and I have been that stupid more than once.
For ANYONE to think alcohol had no effect on these incidences even taking place is way loonier than an old hippie like me.

I didn't say alcohol has no effect and I'm not condoning driving with .00001% or .08 or .20... I said based on everything I've ever read/heard, .08 doesn't have a significant effect.
If you're saying you know of many people who have been involved in drunk driving accidents who had a BAC of ~.08, then I could very well be full of shit.
