But this rule showed a reduction in the amount of drinks served in BC restaurants and bars... Therefore everybody drank less. Therefore a lot of 0.5 drivers are 0.3 a lot of 0.8 are now 0.5 (in the magical no accident range). the 0.12 would be lower etc etc. Now this doesn't clean up the streets completely, but I would argue stricter laws wouldn't either, but I agree doing both would be best. But you cannot say that the 30% reduction in pubs and bar sales in BC is a result of just the 1-2 beer drinkers having less.
