At 0.8, I think a lot of people would still be reasonably fine behind the wheel. There are probably some percentage that would not be. Raising the number to 1.0 would surely increase the percentage that would be dangerous behind the wheel. Sure it is subjective but it's the most objective measure society has come up with. Do you want people arguing in front of a judge "your honor, I know I blew 0.93, but with the studded snow tires on my car and the tolerance to alcohol I have built up with decades of practice, my real life blood alcohol limit should be adjusted to 0.68"
