Most people know about the legal limits on the amount of alcohol in the blood.

The legal limits for "intoxication" are arbitrary and set quite low for easier conviction.

By the way, blowing below 0.08 does not clear you, blowing above it makes it easier for them to convict you is all.

They can still pursue charges from 0.00-0.07. Have a beer and dare the officers to put you through whatever measures they want. And there is no breathalyzer requirement for a public intoxication charge (they can claim they saw you drink more than 2 adult beverages in an hour).

Those against "the war on drugs" are silent about the drugs of tobacco and alcohol.

Very true. As you stated earlier, MADD got the police to agree to include "alcohol related" in any accident report where there was alcohol in the car and even empty alcoholic beverage cans/bottles in the car.

So, if I collect cans (which I do) and I have an accident, because there are alcoholic cans in the vehicle, the police will list "alcohol" as a "possible" cause. THAT is BS!

Those in war on drugs often ignore the effects of numerous prescription drugs. Many of which are extremely dangerous when taken outside the proper dosage. In fact, the danger from legal painkillers is statistically far greater than heroin or cocaine.
