The RWJF scored a major victory in 2000 with a federal .08 BAC mandate, and can claim credit for restrictions on alcohol in localities all over the country.

Wait a minute. My desire to see that boozers can't aim high powered cars at my wife and grandchildren on the road doesn't translate to trying to forbid them from getting sloshing drunk in their own garage or family room. Drunk drivers kill.

Take their keys away and then help the gene pool let them drink all they want.

Drunk drivers kill.

Yes they do, but 0.08 BAC is hardly drunk. It's an arbitrarily low number designed to cast the law enforcement net as wide as possible, just like the 55 mph speed limit. Brought to you courtesy of the modern-day Carrie Nations at MADD and revenue-hungry municipalities nationwide.
