There should be zero tolerance to drinking and driving. Any alcohol content in your body should cause you to get arrested, unless they have a prescription like cough medicine. If you have blood alcohol content above zero you should be arrested. No drinking and driving period. Too many alcohol related deaths are caused by drinking. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Oh Lordy, what will Teddy do when he's not in DC?

.00 would be fine with me. Yes lower the legal limit to .02.

Change the limit. Sure. Why not? It may save someone’s life.
Here is one for you to think over though. A man runs into the rear of my vehicle. He then speeds off. OK now we have a hit and run. 2 to 3 days later police are able to track down his plate and the individual admitted to hitting my vehicle and leaving the scene. As it turns out the man was driving with a revoked license and had 13 previous DUI's. That’s right “13”. A few other things also need to change, don’t you think, along with the limit?

Cook, I loved the "Teddy" comment, but didn't you mean when he must be in D.C., if Massachusetts is the place that wants to lower the limit? I would think he would need to stay there in MA (it would have covered his little "accident" years ago). Add to the list drinking coffee, because plenty of people aren't paying attention to the road while they sip on their hot coffee, and try not to spill it! I am glad that we have bloggers who are aware that many "over-the-counter" cough medicines have alcohol in them!!! Smart group!!! So, if you drop the limit to .00, does that mean that you don't drive after you've taken your cough syrup? Yes, it does!!! Be careful what you wish for, because you might get it; and then get a DUI for driving while you have a cold! NO ONE SHOULD "DRINK AND DRIVE" (and you all know what I mean)!!! There should not be an allowance of an acceptable level of alcohol to drink before you drive! Of course, that will put all kinds of restaurants and bars out of business, because patrons will not drive there, leave their vehicle, and call a cab (look at Tolly Carr). If you are going to drink, don't drive; either stay home or have a designated driver who doesn't drink!!!

Have to agree cindykay, no one has any business "Drinking and driving" AT ALL!!!!!!! Was they emphasized enough?????

And Cook2712 You can't forget a big one to add to your list.
"Pets in the lap"

Drinking is a personal freedom and should be done responsibly and drinking and driving is against the law, lowering the limit is going to clog the court system up. I say raise the penalty something like more community service.

I agree. Life does not seem to be a precious thing anymore. Lowering the drinking limit is a good thing, maybe those folks in higher places are finally coming around. Go for it. Save our kids and loved ones.
