I haven't read all the responses here, but this is obviously a very charged subject. I lost a girlfriend when I was 16. She died at the hands of a drunk driver who hit her car, killing her instantly. I lost my father to alcoholism. I can only imagine how many times my dad drove drunk.

.05 seems very low. I think it's safe to say most folks would blow a .05 shortly after drinking one beer, or two at the most. Do I think this is little more than a revenue generator for the police? No. But I also fully understand that way too many people aren't afraid to get behind the wheel when they have no reason to be driving.

Lots of arguing here, but can we all agree that the best remedy here is just to not drive drunk in the first place? I'd have to think most of us have lost a friend or loved one to a drunk driver.
