Reply to comment by DeaditeMessiah in State senator proposes lowering WA’s blood alcohol limit to .05 by OldManJared
No, but eliminating drunk drivers-even religious ones—is a great idea.

.08 does that. If you redefine drunk, the question is circular. Set it at .0001, you'll find even more "drunks".
There would need to be some strong science on this to convince me, and so far all I see is hysterical moralism, and by God, we're full up on that at the moment.

The difference is that at 0.0001, there is no evidence of impaired function. At 0.05, there is. You don’t have to feel drunk or even buzzed to have a slowed reaction time.

Great, now do you have any links showing this to be true? I stopped believing everything I read on social media years ago.

Not doing it for you, sorry.

Two things. You seem to overestimate the value of your opinions, and there’s plenty of room to lock up more drunks.
