Re: So I\'m going to Prison for 2 years

there's a very good reason why the legal limit is much lower in almost every other country. the line has to be set somewhere, and you guys who love to drive drunk are lucky it's as high as it is.

Yes, it does have to be set somewhere. And I think .08 is a fine place for it. My objection is with people who seem to think the moral failing of driving with .085 is on a different plane than driving at, say, .07, which seems plainly absurd to me.
EDIT: Also, I think one of the good reasons a lot of other countries have lower thresholds is that they have the population density to support better mass transport than large chunks of the US. On a state level, there's not anyplace in the US that that's likely to be true to set the laws much lower, except in DC, where the legal threshold IS much lower, I believe.
