This is sure to be controversial, but I think instead of the strict .08 law there should be a sliding scale of some sort. Someone who is not accustomed to alcohol will certainly be impaired at .08 (or maybe even less). However, I've had lots of practice, and .08 (which is like three beers or so) does not faze me at all. I can function just fine on quite a few more than that (trust me, I know), and I think it unjust that the same measuring stick should be applied to one and all, regardless of actual ability.

Cheers,
