First of all, the sanctimonious whinging about "1 beer affects you and you should even dream of driving after so much as smelling alcohol!!!!"
That BS has to stop. I am not for one second believing any crap about 1 beer being so problematic. Especially not when you read these stats:

Yeah, its the guy who had a couple of beers after work thats the devil. Not the guy who got to the bar at opening time and stayed till close. It is not horrendously unreasonable to have a couple drinks after work and be perfectly able to drive home safely.

So what? Russia technically has a 'zero tolerance' policy on drinking and driving. And if you believe that I've got a couple of bridges for sale in the Frisco Bay area. Cheap Cheap!

Exactly. 2% of road fatalities are caused by the demographic we're talking about here. How much legislation do you want to enact, and pay for, to get that down to 1.9%?
