Based on the number of drunk driving fatalities and the BAC content of the drivers in those fatalities the stats about decreases don't make plausible sense.

As mentioned, the new laws are further discouraging all levels of drinking and driving, and isn't just stopping people between 0.05-0.08. This isn't about snagging a couple more people in roadside tests; its about a implementing strong change in how society itself *thinks* about drinking and driving. They're trying to change the culture through stronger enforcement.
