I agree the law should be .00. But nobody, even myself wants to have to bring a designated driver to dinner for just one or two beers.
We've all gone out intending to have "one or two" and ended up closing the place down. But what happens after that is still a choice. In my case, I'll either take a cab or get picked up. The person who chooses to drive anyway is knowingly putting others at risk.
If you get behind the wheel pissed drunk, it could be argued that yes, in fact, you ARE out to kill someone. You are knowingly putting people in danger, and premeditation could be argued in court.
But in this country it truly is all about the money.
The problem is that your ability to make a decision after closing the place down is impaired just like you.
