I am fully in favor of lowering it to 0.05%, which is the limit here in Australia.
The US records twice as many per capita vehicle fatalities as here in Australia and Australia should really have more, as our cities are so spread out compared to yours and people tend to do more long-haul driving on country roads or highways with lack of sleep.
I have seen some truly terrible drink driving crashes in my lifetime, a few of them fatal. In three of the four fatal cases I have witnessed, either at the time of the crash or having seen the aftermath, the drivers were in the 0.05 to 0.10 range after testing.
I'm sorry, guys, but the stats bear out the efficacy of lowering to 0.05%: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4448946/
Huge numbers of people can't handle their alcohol even after one or two drinks.
C'mon that's one freaking beer.
