0.08 - 0.09% Feelings of euphoria may occur. Motor skills are clearly impaired, mild speech impairment may become noticeable; balance may be affected; recognition of cognitive and motor deficits is lost, and the drinker believes s/he is functioning better than s/he actually is, depression if present may become more pronounced. feeling "buzzed."

The FACT that people have debilitated motor skills, and have no conscious idea that they are even slightly impaired isn't cause for concern on your planet? People with a 'buzz', who feel they have something to prove is all part of a scam?

If you can show a study that shows that people have a greater than 4x incidence of having a traffic accident when they are taking antihistamines, present it. I have presented the facts as they are accepted by the medical and law enforcement communities. You have ranted. What's a matter; tip a few too many beers and went for a drive?

How many loved ones have you buried because some drunk had a 'disease' and decided to drive 80 mph through a stop sign? Attending the funeral of a friend who lost his wife and 2 daughters to one of these self-centered drunks is a really good treatment for a person with as uneducated attitude as yours. I hope you never, ever experience that form of education.

Why limit your outrage to alcohol. As I pointed out, antihistamines are more dangerous.

Why don't we ruin lives, imprison, subject to quack rehab, and fine into penury users of Benadryl that drive? That would be at least as effective in saving lives.

Nope. I allowed myself to br "breathalysed" once before I learned how dangerous that can be. If anyone tried to lay a bum DUI on me I'd mess him up good. I have a big problem with systemic corruption, and I'd not fight clean.

You should check out which organizations are pushing ridiculous drunk driving standards. Then ask yourself if you want to make common cause with them.
