That’s not for everyone. You take a seasoned drinker. 4 beers is like water to them.

Now take a person who drinks maybe once a month or less. Now they have 4 drinks in a hour or 2 hour span. They will show impairment more so then a seasoned drinker at .1.

Standard field sobriety tests are established for all types of drinkers. The tests will show for most impaired drivers. You ask me to run the tests at .1 and I’ll pass. Muscle memory.

What I’m getting at is there is 3 typical phases to a dui. Vehicle in motion(swerving, speeding, changing of speeds drastically), contact(smell,speech,etc) and tests. If you show clues of impairment where you meet the threshold of probable cause for arrest then I think the officer is justified regardless of the BAC.

People that fail the eye test shouldnt drive. That doesnt mean we should make everyone pull over and take the eye test.

Most check points are revenue related anyway.

They use organizations like MADD to quell the herd while they rake in the dough.
