Take the Breathalyzer test and be okay with it all. As long as it comes in under the limit, no drinker needs to worry.

I've had enough of these idiot drinkers who can take life and limb from others, but don't have it taken from them in return.

Give the drunks what they chose to give others, three-fold back.

“As long as it comes in under the limit, no drinker needs to worry.”

It’s impossible to know exactly what one’s BAC is without a blood test. In addition, the .08 limit is analogous to the 55mph speed limit. Police departments and municipalities profit greatly from DUI and speeding tickets.

It’s really just backdoor prohibition. If you have any alcohol content in your blood at all, even if below the .08, you can still be charged with DUI, depending on the state of course. The police just have to say that you were “impaired.”

Oh, and you can lose your license for being an alcoholic, even if you don’t drive drunk.
