It's probably unpopular of me to say this, but...

Why is there a legal drunk driving limit?  It's fucking stupid.  Some people will say, "if we prevent even ONE death..." but, I'm sorry.  That's a slippery slope to fuck around on, because there are LOTS of things we could be doing to prevent ONE death.  We could outlaw or restrict a lot more stuff.  Is that popular?  Is that what you want?  People kill themselves with lawnmowers, so we could prevent lawnmower deaths by requiring all citizens to keep a billy goat in their toolshed.  Not.

I mean, look at this fucking story:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released data showing there were 13,470 deaths in 2006 involving drivers and motorcycle operators with blood alcohol levels of .08 or higher, which is the legal limit for adults throughout the country. The number was down slightly from 2005, when 13,582 people died in crashes involving legally drunk drivers.

We've got this grrrrrreat legal limit for driving drunk, and fuckin' 13,470 Americans still got their asses killed in above-.08 accidents last year.  The number of accidents with any amount of alcohol between .000 and .08 were 4,132.  Four thousand one hundred and thirty two.  What are we really policing here?  People are still dying like it's the fucking holocaust out there, so the law is obviously not having its intended effect.  Either outlaw all BAC levels or get rid of the damned thing.  Oh, but don't most states make between $1,000 and $5,000 in fines from first-time offenders?  Shit, nevermind.  Let's keep that stupid ineffectual piece of shit law on the books.
