If Utah puts 0.05 into place, other states will fall in line.
This happened years ago when it was 0.10, some states went 0.08 and then it became 0.08 for everyone or lose Fed funding.

Alcohol is the new Tobacco. High revenue generator.

No worries...people will enjoy themselves, out and about, high as a kite with their legal/illegal drugs - without a breathalyzer fear in the world./sad sarc

Agree - one state starts and other states follow when they see how much money they can make off of it. Same thing with the seat belt laws. Texting, drinking sodas, all other kind of ‘distractions’.

Reckless driving used to cover most if not all. While all of these things can be very hazardous even fatal. Naming every endless thing which can cause accidents with a law about it isn’t the problem. It is personal responsibility. If someone is driving recklessly, then they should be given tickets/locked up/license taken away, etc.

Fatal accidents occur for many various reasons. Most are the RECKLESS drivers fault. You couldn’t make enough laws to rule out everything. Seems like I remember one place trying to outlaw drinking soft drinks and eating while driving.

An alcoholic/habitual drunk driver most likely already are driving without a license. This happens all the time. And most often are the ones in fatal drinking driving accidents. Not the person who just had a drink or two with their family dinner.

It is just another way to control ‘social’ behavior (people) and create revenue. Like nearly all the other laws.
