DUI at .05?

[Mik]

Maybe we just prohibit on premise alcohol, or limit patrons to one drink per hour. I guess I'd like to know how many fatalities and injuries resulted from levels below .08. All levels, really. My suspicion is they are pretty low.

I don't think it's the specific number of BAC but the attitude of quite a few people towards drinking and driving that's the main problem.

Maybe if the level is lower, people are going to be less likely to have a second or third drink because they don't want to risk failing the breathalyzer.

Still, the fatalities and bad crashes you hear about are generally people who have a BAC considerably higher. I fear this just dampers people who are already being pretty responsible.

Isn't the threshold for DUI in some countries (Sweden?) 0.00.

If ANY EtOH is found, off you go.

Sweden is 0.02%, Switzerland is 0.01%.

Saudi Arabia and Somalia are both 0%

Nobody would drink with those fuckers anyway.
