That's fucking crazy. I have a breathalyzer that's as accurate as what the highway patrol use over here and I can tell you that at 0.100 PCA, I'm well past a 'good beer buzz' and I'm 6'4" 200 pounds on any given day.
I guess you guys just hate losin' your rights to fuck yourselves and other people up. Carry on..
It was lowered from .10 to .08 in California about 25 years ago.
I don't know if you meant all Americans, or people at Mock, or what when you referenced "you guys", but I don't personally know anybody who would be all hateful about the legal BAL driving limit being reduced to .05. Certainly the beverage industry peeps would fight it, but that's business and all.
