Yes because everyone is aware of their BAC when drinking. I'm guessing you have never had a friend who was clearly not able to drive but thought he/she was?
Every single person is different and there are too many factors to say "you can have X amount of this booze and you will be okay to drive". So simply make it zero tolerence on this with tiered punishment. A person who had one drink at dinner shouldn't be punished the same as the guy who can't see past his windshield. But they both should be considered breaking the law and punished for it.
I have had 5 friends killed in drunk driving accidents, one was a friend killing 2 other friends when he thought he was fine "only having a few". Well he wasn't and ran himself and everyone in the car into a tree. The other 2 friends were at the fault of other drivers. So maybe I'm the wrong person to be getting involved in this debate. But I think it's ridiculous when people claim to be fine, if you have one drink you are impaired one way or another.
