Comment on Why in America is .08 the legal limit for drunk driving? How come it's not an even 0.10? Who decided at what level being drunk starts? Then 4 beers of 12oz's is 0.08 why is it that small?

Even though their founder is or was a drunk and caught dwi after dwi while heading MADD. Kind of seems the irony speaks for itself and that no one did their background check.

What is the entire post, honestly?

Were you actually trying to get an answer to the question you originally posted? Or do you have some bizarre pro-dui agenda to push.

This whole post reads like someone who is upset that got caught driving at .09.

  Would you perfer I ask something like why in the states is the enlistment age is 18 but the drinking age is 21? Or how about why on cigarette packs they offer help but only if you are 21 meaning you have to be addicted for 3 years? But your not one who gets why I post just look at my profile.

    At least in the US, the smoking age was moved to 21 back before COVID.

MADD had a fundraiser effort by offering breath mints for donations at bars and restaurants.

I sat on the Board of a disease charity for 15 years. A charity can start with the best of intentions and integrity, but a single CEO can just change that to a money machine. The mandate becomes just rasing money.
