Have to agree. While I don't condone drunk driving at all. Every person is different. I've known alcoholics that live with a base BAC of .2 all the time. They will wake up the next morning and be at .2 or even .3. BAC doesn't take into account a person tolerance for alcohol. If you drink a lot all of the time you can function better than some people after 5-8 drinks than someone who never drinks can after 2. Your system sounds fair and would take into account the alcoholics that can drive perfectly fine at double the legal limit if not better than 98% of the sober population. This is what it is. A pure and simple money grab while state and local governments are in massive amounts of debt. Don't think their is much if any statistical data the shows the decrease in deaths when they dropped the BAC from .1 to .08 If there is I'm sure it is not very significant.

Cell phones have been proven to kill more people now days than drunk driving ever has. Lets solve that problem.
