Correct. BAC under .08 account for roughly 5% of deaths per year, or approximately 2000. Which is a small number in the big picture. But none the less 2000 too many.
What about the fact that alcohol probably had little to do with these deaths? People get in wrecks all the time. Most of those happening with under the legal limit would have happened anyway.

Exactly, what they never release in these studies to demonize drunk driving is there are several other factors.
The majority of people involved in alchohol related accidents are also speeding, tired, and distracted.
Also what they don't tell you is that it doesn't matter if the impared driver is at fault. For example, a guy with a .09 bac can be obeying all other traffic laws, drive through a green light, and a kid texting runs the red light and t bones the guy. If the cop detects alcohol, the impared driver can be found to be at fault even though the other person ran a red light.
