I meant that it would be a stat that didn't conflict with your specific definition of what alcohol related fatalities should be.

The point is, it is still bad at 20%,even using your definition, that you say places like MADD are twisting.

I don't think your definition is the right one to be using and don't think that there in any harm in counting all deaths, not just ones where the driver was over 0.07. That is an arbitrary line, which anyone who has ever dream understands that a 0.10 for one person can have the same impact as a 0.05 for another in terms of things that matter when driving.
