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?

It’s pretty wild really. In my country, it’s pretty “normal” to drink 2 beers and then drive home. However, if I drink a sip of beer before work, I’d be immediately fired, because it’d be unsafe for me to have any kind of alcohol in my blood.

So we acknowledge that even tiny amounts of alcohol can impair you to the point of being a danger, unless you’re driving a 2 ton heavy machine at 130 km/h on your way home…
