Drunk driving is a terrible thing but if one goes out to dinner and has a drink then is involved in some kind of accident or altercation, the first thing everyone will say is that alchohol was involved. That can destroy someone's life . . .

No kidding. These MADD people try to come-off as "couragously" telling the world about the downside of drinking and driving. (as if DD is a tough thing to be against, or people need to have their eyes opened)
If anything, these MADD people need to have their eyes opened.
Most accidents happen due to a combination of sleepiness, intoxication, inattentiveness, and DWRTIQ (Driving with a Room Temperature IQ)
It doesn't take much "driver involvement" to safely get from point A to B. . . .even with
one of the above limitation.
However, if that
one is DWI --look out. The "DrunK" is the easiest political pinyata next to the "Dead-Beat-Dad."
The .10 , or .08 rule *is* an arbitrary number. it keeps getting lower, as the political correct try to one-up each other. It's also good for the police dept's that get to impound and confiscate personal property for resale.
It's funny to see "Alcohol Limit" street signs . . . as if there is an Alcoholometer on you dash telling you your absorbtion rate is too high.
(BTW: I have never had any personal "drinking/driving issues" -- these are just my observations of the over-simlplification of a problem set, resulting in the hyper-demonizing of the "Drunk-Driver.")
