Do they? I don't know.
Higher BAC probably = more dangerous in general, but the higher BAC there's probably less people who get to that point as well.
If the percentage chance of a death with > 0.08 is 1%, and only 0.01% for 0.05 - 0.08, but there's more than 10 times the # of people on the road in the 0.05-0.08 range, then it makes more sense to focus on the 0.05-0.08 range (from a purely utilitarian point of view).
I don't know what the actual #'s are though.
