Most people probably don't intend to drive drunk. If I drink 6 beers and a shot over 5 hours I will be fine, but over 4 hours I would be borderline. At 4.25 hrs I would be fine.
What's the difference between .078 and .082? 15 minutes and a DWI.
I think you're committing a bit of a continuum fallacy here - the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Looks like you already know how to solve this problem. The choice is still yours. And the responsibility is still yours.
People that are DUI kill huge numbers of people on the highways each year.it should be taken as a very serious crime with serious consequences without doubt.in most states it not taken serious enough for the harm in does in endangering lifes.
Actually you can be convicted under 0.08 bac if it's proven at 0.05 you were impaired
Arizona has a 'to the slightest degree' statute.
28-1381. Driving or actual physical control while under the influence; trial by jury; presumptions; admissible evidence; sentencing; classification
A. It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances:
1. While under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree.
If you know 4 drinks could in a rare situation take you over, you limit yourself to 2. Why is that so hard? Don't test the limits.

Let's not make this about me. I was proving a point. If this were about me I wouldn't bring cars into it because it is easier and faster to walk to the bar than just to walk to my car.
