Accidents happen when you're sober, yes. Accidents are, in fact, irrefutably
more likely to happen when your motorskills and decision making capabilities are decidedly impaired.
Sure, there are a lot of people who can drive competently, even with a BAC of 0.08, but that's because of their tolerance.
I don't think you should be allowed behind the wheeel of a motor-vehicle while under the influence of substances such as alcohol. Because there's a direct correlation between BAC and impairment of faculties. I really don't see how you can argue otherwise. The government's not telling you "hey, you're not allowed to put [chemical X] in your bloodstream, you're just not allowed to do it and DRIVE, where there are other people who could be put at risk because of your ARROGANCE and/or STUPIDITY."

What? Do you not realize how many other people you endanger by driving drunk? My stance on the use of substances is extremely lax, but one thing I cannot get behind is the notion of allowing people to operate motor-vehicles while intoxicated.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
