In Alberta, 86 per cent of impaired accidents involve drivers over .08, and two-thirds of those are caused by people over twice that amount.

The problem is not responsible citizens who have a glass of wine at a restaurant. The problem is idiots who get bombed and then try to drive home. If you want to improve road safety, go after THEM, and go after them hard.
