A bunch of drunks at AA. SMFH. Full disclosure: I am done on this note, and will leave ignorance to its uninformed way.
I've been so drunk that the fish caught me.Free Country.
If you've ever been too drunk to fish....
You might be a Redneck.

lol
yeah, I've been to a few. Probably 4 or 5 a week for the past 17 years. And I'm quite certain I'm not violating any of the traditions.
It is a fact that more accidents happen when drivers are sober.

I do not. Just the sheer number of sober drivers vs. drivers who have had a drink, or smoked, or what have you, would lead me to believe more accidents are attributed to them. (sober) Granted the good majority are probably fender benders.I'd like to see a ref or three in some credible journals about that.
2 people I've known have died in head on collisions due to drunk drivers (not them). Granted, I was living in a mountainous area with lots of curvy roads. I was also working EMS right by a highway.
I seriously doubt your statement.

More than twice as many non-alcohol related accidents as alcohol related accidents.I'd like to see a ref or three in some credible journals about that.

If I am stone cold sober, and run over someone's child, dog, or mailbox... I am responsible for my actions. If I had beer, and performed one of those actions, I am still responsible. No difference.
If I am sober and harm no one or nothing, there was no crime.

How is this hard for a few Libertarians to grasp?
Of course it shouldn't be outlawed. We tried that - didn't work. But trying to keep drunk people from getting behind the wheel is good, common sense. I bet the good Doctor would agree.Do you think alcohol should be outlawed? If not, where and when should you be allowed to consume it? Does the thought of someone having a second glass of wine with their dinner make you uncomfortable?

Can't copypasta the graph, sorry.

Forgive me for being frank, but this is why the future is so bleak.I haven't studied up on BAC limits, how they do it in Europe and what not... but making the punishment harsh enough to make one think twice before ordering one for the road? sure, I'm for it.

In 2011 there were 32,367 vehicle fatalities in the US.
In 2011 of those deaths, 9,878 were listed as alcohol being a factor (this is very loose and open ended defining factor btw).
Thus 22489 people died in accidents that were not alcohol related.

Well, we are at .08
The FedCoats are moving to achieve global compliance and reduce it .05
But why would anybody be in favor of that?
It should be .00
Zero Tolerance.
