It's already .01% in several states, including Alaska.

That's my point, "drunk" means what the law says it means, the behavior of individuals cannot be specifcaly modeled by calling them "drunk".

A significant portion of the population that abuses alcohol are practiced and skilled at being "drunk".

There is NO objective behavioral test that will capture any acceptable approximation of 100% of "drunks".

Which is why we have BACs, which are, by definition, ARBITRARY numbers.

This is where lawyers, and their fellow travelers, dwell, where innocent lives, and bodies, are being shattered, right now, in the name of "fairness".

(("It's already .01% in several states, including Alaska."))
Oh really?

"You are DWI in Alaska if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is .08% or higher."

"The court revocation may be concurrent with (at the same time as) or consecutive to (in addition to) the DMV revocation. If a driver fails a chemical test (has a test result of 0.08% or greater) or refuses to take a chemical test, the law enforcement officer will seize the driver’s license and give the driver a “Notice and Order of Revocation.”
