That doesn't mean you weren't impacted. You weren't legally drunk but data does show that immediately on consumption of alcohol the human body is impacted. It's different for everyone of course. I just don't see the problem with having a zero tolerance law that is tiered. Fines up to a certain level and then more serious consequences at the higher levels. Not unlike speeding. it should have very little impact on anyones life.
