Anyway I can say after serving my one year suspension and dealing with harsh insurance for five years I learned my lesson and have never driven drunk again. I'm okay with this personally as I have kids now and one of them had a close call with a sober driver let alone one one driving at 0.05 or more.
Wait, you blew more than three times the legal limit and your only punishment was a one year license suspension and higher insurance costs? That is what should be changed if we want to adjust the drunk driving laws, not going after people in the 0.05-0.07 range.
