You know when you're driving home at midnight, you're surrounded by hundreds of drunk drivers (by the .08 standard), just in your particular city. Then multiply it by all of the cities and towns in the United States (or wherever). Is it dangerous? Certainly for those who have levels much higher than .08. But is it any more dangerous/irresponsible than speeding, aggressive driving, distracted driving, drowsy driving, etc? No. Those .08 drivers are going to overwhelmingly be more mindful of the road than when they are driving normally.
Award-winning post! Even if I have just one beer, I'm the most vigilant driver on the roads. Sober? I'm much more careless. Why? Because if I get a speeding ticket or have an accident, I'll just laugh as they give me the breathalyzer test!
I also have this bad habit of daydreaming at the wheel of a car, all dependent on the music that's playing!
I asked police guys how to properly nap when drunk. They recommended to sleep in the back seat and god forbid not to turn the heat in the car. At least in our state you cannot be charged with DUI unless you actually operate the vehicle.
Having state politicians with 12 DUIs in State Assembly, is unother story.
Better to die of exposure to the elements than get a DUI while sleeping, eh? LOL Gotta love the logic of some laws.
And? All you have to say is you got a DUI, and no one will question whether or not is was .081 or 1.05 or 1.45 or 2.0, the assumptions will run as rampant as if you told someone you were a sex offender.
Exactly. I think it is unfair for someone to get a DUI because they had two beers.
I don't drive drunk, since I'm a grown up and all, so facing jail for that is nil. You however have an excellent shot at it. Pathetic that you appear happy about it. Maybe you'll grow up one of these days. Maybe you'll even realize the drinking problem you have and seek treatment before you kill someone or yourself.
Ever drive after having a few drinks, yet not be drunk? Many people have. As a matter of fact our state has a fairly new ad campaign about buzzed driving being the same as drunk driving. Another over-correction and over-reaction by the government.

If you notice, we're talking about DRUNK driving. Not, I had one beer driving by someone who has a high tolerance for alcohol.
It's totally effed up how many of you justify drunk driving. Freakin' pathetic.

Wear proper clothes for the weather, keep a blanket inside the car and the car is still fairly good shelter itself, better than a tent. So, you shouldn't die from elements just taking a nap, your body will be burning the alcohol like crazy, then you wake up from cold.
oh give me a break... is this another DRINKS NOT THAT BAD message..Being tired and driving is dangerous but not self inflicted by some moron who thinks he or she is Superman.and indestructible after a few drinks.. It makes me so angry at all you boozers who think you have a RIGHT to the road.. how dare you compare a nurse to a selfish drunk.
Crazy people I tell you. Good for MADD is needed, drunk drivers kill carelessly.

I think it unfair for innocent peoples' lives to be shattered because you want to have two beers.
That is unfair, not the laws.
