UT lowers alcohol limit to .05

I hope this isn't a catalyst for other states following suit. It's .08 in Illinois, and I would hate to see it reduced.

that's dumb. being sleepy is more dangerous than .05.

Damn. You're probably not safe there drinking a single IPA

I will make it a point to never visit Utah. Not that I plan on drinking and driving but .05 is ridiculous. I might as well move to Saudi Arabia with laws like that.

are the people with .06 alochol levels the ones wrecking into people or are they the ones trying to be responsible by stopping after 1-2 drinks?

Good ol Mormons. Don't they have state-run liquor stores there?

According to some on here if you've had a single drop of liquor and get behind the wheel, you are ticking death bomb ready to murder an entire family in cold blood.

This is true, but this isnt about safety...its about money.
Posted on 2/24/17 at 11:36 am to 3morereps
It's a money grab. Always follow the money.

Wouldn't surprise me if they lowered it here. It's a huge racket in Wash and Oregon.

But Thurston said a .05 limit equals the consumption of two-thirds of a bottle of wine, three shots or six beers.
Thurston better check his research because drinking a 6 pack will put you well over .05 and closer to .10 unless it was over a 4-5 hour period.
Blood alcohol content calculator
ETA: Might wanna change thread title...makes it seem as its already changed to .05, but its really just a bill that was proposed.
