    Part of me doesn’t understand how tweaking a legal limit is likely to have meaningful impacts on crash statistics, but I guess that part is wrong since studies on Utah’s .05 limit change in 2018 have shown reduced crashes, so do it.

    On another note: isn’t it wild that the only legal way to get home from the bar is to pay to be driven in a car?

      Or you take the night bus, unless you live in America. Idk how it is in other countries but we have night busses in Czech republic and you can always walk since there’s a pub pretty much on every corner.

        Where I live there are public intoxication laws which apply to both walking and public transit. And that isn’t super uncommon outside the US.

        Also, it’s absolutely nuts that a DUI in an F-150 on the freeway and a DUI on an ordinary bicycle are considered the same legally.
