JT Barret is over the legal limit at .02, not .08, so get that number out of your head.
But the level of impairment associated with his BAC doesn't differ; this is my point. When you make an argument relating the impact of one's impairment then some arbitrary criterion are essentially irrelevant. So a person barely over the limit is not functionally different the person barely under, yet people will often chastise the former but not say a thing about the latter. I'm trying to see if you fall into that poor logic.

You have no idea how he was affected by a .099 BAC. He was actually close to five times his legal limit, so I misspoke when I said four times.
