The temptation lies in asking a person who has been drinking to try and compute their bac. How many did I have? Am I really drunk? Should I drive? Maybe I can drive. I don't feel drunk. Etc. Sound familiar to anyone who had ever gone out for a few drinks?
If removing impaired drivers was the true aim then it would be zero. Now, who do you think would put up the money to fight that change?
Then, "temptation" is the wrong word. The key idea is "judgment." A rational person knows that they can have a drink or two over a couple of hours and be safe. If you are going to drink to the point of impaired judgment, then you should be responsible enough to appoint a driver or make alternate plans.
Your logic is flawed, and your defense sounds like someone who is insistent on being different, no matter how wrong they are. Surely you can't really believe that we should do away with impaired driving laws! That's insane.
