I hope the bar and restaurant lobby fights an lower than .08. I'm not in favor of impaired driving, but like to a 2 beers with dinner sometimes........

Totally agree much bigger problem with distracted drivers these days.


I have the same policy, 2 beers or drinks with dinner. I happen to own a pocket breathalyzer and took it to dinner one night, after two IPA's I blew over 0.08. I did not feel impaired at all and if I had not blown, I would have never hesitated to drive home, actually I didn't hesitate, I drove home..... while texting, emailing, and posting to FUbook that I was out to dinner.
