the line has to be set somewhere, and you guys who love to drive drunk are lucky it's as high as it is.

Like I've already said, there's been virtually no effect on the number of "alcohol-related" car deaths (which is a pretty skewed stat anyways) since the drop from .10 to .08 Yet the number of arrests has almost doubled. What the hell is the point of making laws harsher and penalties longer if it has no discernible effect except for hugely increasing the burden on the criminal justice system?

Exactly. O but hay, let's lock people up anyway, force them to spend thousands on fines and lawyers and jacked up insurance rates and maybe lose their jobs and have them crowd up our jails, yeah that's a way better solution than us realizing that it's gone too far and now it's just cops pinching harmless drivers under the guise of "public safety".
