That doesn't show that everybody drank less at all. You really have a hard time understanding cause and correlation don't you?

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.

It is not just the 1-2 beer drinkers having less but since those are the people that obviously pay more attention to following the laws and monitoring their drinking than it is most likely (see how I don't use the crazy absolutes that you always do) that they are the majority of the people changing their drinking habits.
I would say that it is highly unlikely that the most dangerous group changed their drinking habits at all based on the BC law.
