>The research doesn’t back you up like you think it does

Well when opinion pieces are shoved into the results of a study its hard to convince redditors otherwise.

So we need even stricter DUI penalties from your reading of it then?

Edit: a quick look at your recent post history shows you seem to at some level be in favor of social justice. So seeing how DUIs mint more felons then almost any other outlet how do you rectify the fact that the vast majority of instances of drinking and driving is a victimless crime but meanwhile countless of minorities are felons today because they had 1-2 more drinks then they should of and are now essentially un-hireable?

No I think your opinion that 90% of people can safely drive drunk is asinine at best.

Well then let me go ahead and tighten up my thesis for yah before you down vote with tears of rage in your eyes someone dares go agaisnt the grain.

Most people, likely around 8 to 9 out of 10, can easily drive at a BAC of .08-.15 without increasing their odds of being in a wreck more so then if everyone driving were to be sober. As things stand now the vast majority of DUIs are used as a checkbox for the police so they can turn a minor traffic violation into a near felony charge (or an actual felony if its a repeat offender). Of course there is a BAC where everyone is unable to drive but we are currently ridiculously far from that.

Denying a plethora of research and statistics is not going against the grain, it’s you being a selfish person who proudly drives drunk.

lmao I don't drive. Period. I take my bike or public transit every where I go.

I just linked you the research and its findings. You can't see past the opinion writings of the reporters who are reporting it and are confusing that with the actual research.

But yeah enjoy making armies of minorities into felons who these laws disproportionately effect you hypocrite.
