It seems some people are missing the point. People blasting the OP are not saying he was drunk or that average people that blow a 0.08 are drunk. These people are buzzed and judgment is impaired. The OP is getting blasted, and those defending him by using the "get off your high horse" card because he is suggesting maybe it should be legal to get even MORE buzzed. What good does that do anybody? None. And I have never been even remotely buzzed and driven because I don't really drink at all.
And yeah many people are a little messed up when they drive and nobody is perfect but most people before they drive they don't use a breathalyzer, blow too much, drive home safely and say to themselves, "what's the big deal I could have had been fine with more alcohol." That distinction is why the OP is getting beat down and deservedly so.
