[OA5599]

Looking at driver responses at rising BAC levels over time, these three very experienced and knowledgable drivers seemed to me to have been essentially unimpaired up to about 0.16% BAC, and even arguably capable of safe navigation a little higher than that

Reminds me of an educational visit the Honolulu Police Department had onboard my submarine, complete with graphic slide shows.

What stuck right out to me was when the officers mentioned that traditional field sobriety tests do not work well on the average military person because they are more coordinated and have faster reaction time than the average citizen.

I began to wonder how circular the logic could get. You must not drive after consuming alcohol because it impairs your abilities, but since your abilities are not impaired, we must arrest you simply for driving after consuming alcohol.

Right out of Kafka. Sounds like the kernel of another famous dystopian novel, if you ever fancied becoming a famous dystopian novelist. (Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Brave New World, Darkness at Noon, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.)
