If you blow a .08, you are impaired to the point where you shouldn't be driving.

Until a few years ago and I believe still in some states and probably in many other countries, .08 was within the law. Here, it was .12 until just a few years prior to that. Is your opinion of intoxication 100% beholden to the laws of your state? So .0799999... is OK? What if you live in a state where it's .08 but on the border of a state where .10 is still the limit? Are you fine with driving home until you get to the border?

The problem is that I don't think you really understand what .08 feels like, and certainly don't know what it feels like to regular drinkers, and worst of all are trying to tell someone in this thread who acknowledged doing research on alcohol impairment that he's wrong. But I'm sure MADD and lawyers and other "do-gooders" will find a way to drop it to .06 and then you can argue that that's too much, people shouldn't be driving in that condition.

You appear to be comparing bananas to grapefruit, sir.
