I encourage all of you to get your own breathalyzer. 0.05 is hammered, end of story. You should not be driving at 0.05, and I'm glad people that drunk will be off the road.

Subject #8 (200lbs, ATI 153.85) registered the following levels through the test. 0.000, 0.013, 0.031, 0.032 before complaining about eyes being tired. Continued through the test and blew 0.043, 0.034, and finally 0.038. Subject indicated inability to drive prior to the 0.043 BAC.

For reference, each of those readings was after 1.5 ounces of Vodka, spaced at 15 minute intervals.
Here is a person who had 10.5 ounces of Vodka in 1.5 hours and didn't hit 0.05. And you want to protect this persons right to drive a car?
I've used a breathalyzer on several occasions. The least beer I have ever drank and been able to hit 0.05 with was just over 1.5L in 40 minutes, right after intense exercise and no food. The spike over 0.05 lasted about 10 minutes and I was back below. Other times it has taken about 5 pints to hit that level, and no way would I drive.
