Raise The BAC Limit!

[blueeagle]

I decree the current BAC limit of 0.08 is excessive and completely foolish. NOBODY, and I mean nobody, is drunk at that level! Thats like two beers! The limit needs to be raised back the the previous limit of .15.

Arresting somebody for consuming such a low amount of alcohol is, in my opinion, cruel and unusual punishment, and, therefore, violates the constitution.

The Declaration of Independence also ensures us the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Ever met a happy sober person? I rest my case.

Have you been drinking again??????

[Exhausted]

Was your mother killed when you were 9 by someone who decided it was a good idea to drive after drinking?

I think alcohol is a more dangerous drug than marijuana. The only legality difference is that the government can pad their pockets with the sale of alcohol.

Well, considering how I wrote this on FRIDAY night!!! What do you think, Zedex?

Last time I checked marijuana was a plant... so duh.

I don't smoke, but I don't have anything against the people who do.

Actually, alcohol is the fermented residue from plant decomposition.

Rum comes from sugar cane.
Vodka from potatoes.
Scotch from peat moss.

Etc.

Just wait 'til Carl catches you Blue. He is going to whale on your heiney.

Um, not quite correct.

consumed 10 oz of beer one time and I was not able to safely drive a car. I weigh, well, let's say it is past 225lbs. I do not drink with any regularity ( a couple drinks per YEAR) and was really buzzed with that little bit of beer. My BAC was obviously not at a level that would be considered illegal but I was impaired. No doubt about it.

Carl can point to studies that support the current level and probably an even lower level that a typical person becomes impaired. At what level of impairment should we allow a person to drive a car? We thrust our 2 or 3 or 10 thousand pound vehicles to speeds up to 70 (legally anyway). It takes very little loss of focus to cause a very damaging accident.

actually, I would support a law for a 0.00 BAC while driving. It is just that serious.

I don't drink and drive anymore. I was worried about hitting a bump and spilling it...
