This type of change has been coming for YEARS.. I don't have a hard and fast opinion on it because when I was younger I drove when I was so drunk I couldn't walk.. Dumb, dumb, dumb.. So I can see why they passed laws to keep idiots like me from doing stupid things like that...
BUT they probably have taken it too far. But again, this has been coming for years.. Can't be surprised.

yeah being actually drunk and driving is a bad thing. being not drunk and driving is not a bad thing, but it's being made illegal if you've had two beers in an hour

As someone who drinks the hard shit on the reg, my personal tolerance level before I can not operate a motor vehicle is higher than someone's who is a very occasional drinker. When you drink scotch like it's going to cease existing within the next hour as I do, tolerance is not really a word you think about. I can comfortably say I can drive a car with an OB of around .10 easily. When calculating OB you not only have to consider the person, but also what is being drank. My preferred scotch goes around 45-50% depending on brand meaning 2-3 clean rounds of that and I am over .08. The beers I drink are mostly craft and are Imperials meaning they have at least 7.5% alcohol, so once again 2 Dogfish Head Burton Baton's and I'm blowing around .08.
So yeah, this change sucks.
