This is good news.
No one should drive drunk, period. The question is what is drunk?
Personally, I would not drive after 2 or 3 oz of wine (nearly blitzo), where as my husband can drive well after two pints of beer at a good BBQ.
My levels would be low but I would be drunk. My husbands levels would be high and he would not be drunk.
Good news!!

A half of glass of wine or less gets you blitzo?

Alcohol affects everyone differntly as you have stated. People also build a tolerance. I have a friend who's BAC probably hasn't been below 0.2 since '63 but he is functional and probably drives better than 50% of the "non drunk's" on the road.

The BAC laws are really a travestry.

The other problem is the hodgepodge of enforcement. It depends who pulls you over and where you are, whether you are convicted of DWI or it is reduced to another violation. In some places, they can actually "take" your vehicle and acution it off.

I agree. However, the MADD maniacs want to eliminate drinking period, instead of drunk driving. They are so far from their mission that their founder disassociated herself with them.

Where were you when I was single?

Another fair approach would be to make driving with any BAC period illegal. It is not arbitrary and does not presume guilt.
