I’ve made the argument that impairment and BAC aren’t the same for years in different forms but people just ‘feel’ and get upset. It is possible for a person, especially at the low modern BAC limits are still well within the performance bell curve distribution of sober socially accepted driving.

The whole ‘impairment’…

*Technically* i agree with the offender’s argument.All else being equal ,someone who drinks often will certainly be less impaired than a non-regular drinker.
I think if he’d been slightly over the limit he may have a good point.But THREE AND A HALF times the limit?!No .Just hell no ,with cherries on top

The creatures we are descended from are insectivores. Killing and consuming creatures of the phylum arthropoda, of which insects and lobsters are both members, is not a far stretch for our omnivorous primate selves. It has been posited that a primal explanation for humans readily consuming salty, crunchy snacks like…

Are you’re saying the habitual drinker at .08 as well as the nondrinker at .08 ought not to be driving?

At .10 it was a public safety thing. At .08 and .06 it’s a cash grab, plain and simple.

Yes, really.

Happened to me. I was on my way home, maybe 9:30 pm, my GF in the passenger seat actually hammered, me having had two beers at a tailgate hours ago. I took a “shortcut” because she really had to use the restroom. A few blocks from my apartment (after having driven an hour) I saw the flashing lights, figured somebody…

That may be true where you live, but it’s not true everywhere. There are a lot of places that run DUI checkpoints or randomly pull people over near areas with lots of restaurants and bars in order to run sobriety tests.

Are they trying to measure impairment, or trying to measure BAC? They are not exactly the same thing. Habitual drinkers do seem to handle higher BAC with less impairment. BAC is easily and reliably measurable, but impairment is not quite the same.

I can’t believe people are attacking you over this. I see it, too. I know we’d all have a good chuckle (or even a hearty guffaw) if it were any other president, but some how we all feel defensive when it’s Obama. Lighten up people, it’s just sperm on his face.

I’m here to win medals and get laid, and it looks like they’re all out of medals.

You’re right, there really is no such thing as the alt-left, a boogeyman created by the gooey centre and embraced by the far right. Complete made-up bullshit meant to equivocate people who chant “Jews will not replace us” with the people who stand up to them.

You know there’s no way in hell that would work. (In fact I’m pretty sure you’re joking, although it’s impossible to be sure on the internet in this day and age.) And I say this as Minnesotan, one of his constituents who thought he was doing an ok/pretty good job until we all found out he apparently has a bit of a…

I am currently taking a business ethics class and if you listen to the people in my class this is all I hear. Today, we started discussing the book Private Government. It’s a fucking doozy. The teacher (a philosophy guy with a PhD who more than likely doesn’t want to be teaching this particular philosophy class)…

There’s a serious flaw in your economy and economic policies if a significant number of workers need government welfare in addition to your wage to survive. If work requirements are ACTUALLY necessary, that means people are finding that it’s better off not to work so they can collect welfare. Since welfare just barely…

No amount of “work restrictions” or whatever other focus-grouped term they invent to cover up harming poor people is going to fix the problem. If you can’t afford a car to get you to work, especially in a rural area, this isn’t going to help. If you’re borderline disabled like myself you’ll probably be exempt, but…
