You people are totally missing the point. You should realize that the 0.05 to 0.08 enforcement isn't aimed at directly preventing issues with people in that range, but rather to further deter people from drinking and driving at all. (Thus reducing the number of people who end driving over 0.08).

As Ken mentioned, the people who are
really the problem (according to the statistics posted in this thread) are the idiot drunk drivers who get behind the wheel when they're bombed. Making the legal limit .08 and the quasi-legal limit .05 isn't going to deter those d-bags. Getting them off the road permanently (long-term license suspensions for repeat offenders, lengthy prison terms for drunk drivers who cause a fatality) is the solution.
