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.

frick that

Should be .10

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?

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.

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.

I guess more people will be catching an Uber or a Lyft.
But seriously, I think this is a bit draconian. .05 is barely noticeable and you could reach that level of intoxication without drinking casually. I not sure of the specifics, but certain foods can cause that level.

There should be a sliding scale with penalties increasing the higher the BAC is, rather than a black and white judgment.

Doubtful that it passes.
However, it is driven a little bit by hesitation out of staters, like me, relocating here who are not LDS.

From the article. That is some BS. .05 is more like two beers.

This is a good idea. Kids these days can't handle their liquor.

I think that open container should be legal if you're below .05
