As much as I think some drunk driving laws are too uniform, I happen to like this one.
It teaches kids behavoir that has the potential to spill over into later years; that you can go to the pub with your buddies to watch the game, and still have a good time just drinking pop. It encourages them to dis-associate drinking with driving.
I know I didn't have a handle on what the amount I could drink and still safely drive until my late 20's.
I do see what they are trying to do with the multiple passengers law, but I still think it's flawed. They want to avoid the number of victims in a crash. However I know most of the serious crashes I've seen and or had friends involved in, there was just two of us in the car.
