People are allowed to drink up to .08 BAC. That is a measurable impairment limit that has come about after years of study.

LOL. 0.08 was strongarmed to the states by Congress as part of MADD's incremental plan towards "zero tolerance."

.08 was adopted across the country and in combination with other things done at the same time has shown to be part of a falling trend. Numbers show that.

I have a serious question for you to ansnwer that I hope you will answer honestly. Have you ever met with and talked with a MADD representative or are you quoting the positions of MADD based on things you have read about them? In addition, do you think every person involved in the MADD organization is the same?

Is every democrat the same? Do all democrats call for the same things? Do all pubs? Think now before you over generalize to the point of absurdity!

I used to live in a small suburb of Dallas that was the original "cash register justice" type of place. Cops would cruise bar parking lots, and if a car was there the second time, they would run the license number, and wait for him to show up on the streets. They'd charge with "aggravated drunk in public," which is code for drunk driving, but they didn't have to share the revenue with the county, ad in DWI cases. Hell of a racket.
