DUI laws are too strict. It shouldn't be all or nothing at .08 BAC but more severe punishments for more severe inebriation. .08 is pretty low and people who drink regularly can function fine at that level.
People hate this one but... hey, it's my most unpopular opinion.
That is an actual unpopular opinion. Fuck people who drink and drive, driving is dangerous enough as it is, and no one needs to drink alcohol ever
It's a personal decision. Some of us enjoy the flavor and the social enhancements after having a few. I agree fuck people who drive really drunk but I don't consider a few beers to be that. In fact, I know that a few beers doesn't make me drunk or mess up my motor skills any. I'm significantly more dangerous when I am sleep deprived but that isn't illegal. Heh.
