Okay someone answer me this. Why do clubs and bars often have large parking lots? And guess what, everyone drives there, and nearly everyone drives home. But wait, the Cops could just easily sit in the parking lot and arrest people en masse. But nooooo, that would be a political issue, the bar owners would complain that they are losing business and raise a big stink. So instead, the parking lot gets filled up and of course the people that drove there are going to drive home. Sure, there is the designated driver thing, but it's not used nearly enough.
I say the legal limit should be 0.01. You have even a lick of alcohol, you can't drive. But what really needs to change is the culture of drinking, you DRIVE to a bar and drink, so you DRIVE home. Until people figure out that you can't do that no matter what, and it becomes the norm, the drinking and driving problem will never ever go away.
