This month the National Academy of Sciences Engineering and Mathematics (NASEM) published a report that encourages states to make it illegal for people to have one drink and drive. The NASEM report titled ‘Getting to Zero Alcohol-Impaired Driving Fatalities’ claims that a person’s ability to operate a motor vehicle begins to deteriorate at a BAC below 0.05 percent and recommends police arrest motorists for consuming one drink. A Google search of the NASEM and Homeland Security returned close to a million hits. (If you still have doubts about NASEM’s close relationship with the Feds, click here.) Currently, police in America use twenty-two different checkpoints to question and arrest anyone. They also stop and question 50,000 motorists daily or 20 million a year. Can you imagine how much higher those numbers will be if police are allowed to arrest people for consuming just one drink? DHS is using numerous government agencies to convince states to lower their BAC limit. NTSB has been trying to lower the BAC for five years As you will see, DHS is going to great lengths to lower the national BAC from 0.08 to 0.05. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has been actively trying to convince states to lower BAC’s for the past five years. But that would never happen here right? Wrong, it already has. Last year Utah, made it illegal for motorists to have one drink and drive. People in four states could be arrested for consuming one drink At least three more states are thinking of arresting people for consuming one drink and driving. Last year it was revealed that Washington and Hawaii were also considering lowering their BAC to 0.05.and four days ago, Fox 11 revealed that Wisconsin was also considering it. Which brings the total to four states, that will arrest people for having one drink. The push to lower BAC to 0.05 has been going on worldwide for at least a decade. For at least ten years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been trying to convince countries across the globe to lower their BAC’s to one drink. Does the WHO work with Homeland Security? A Google search of WHO and Homeland Security returned over 700,000 hits.) As you can see, the WHO and the Feds are working together to make it a crime to have one drink and drive. Make no mistake, lowering the BAC to 0.05 will have far reaching consequences for everyone.

“The proposal would mean that a 150-pound man could get a DUI after two beers, while a 120-pound woman could get one after a single drink…”

NY is at a .08 for DWI and already at a .05 for DWAI. Most of the ideology is money making. Back when driving shitfaced was tolerated, the first libtarded way of dealing with the problem was increased fines. Then the state used those fines to balance budgets... and they relied on the money. Then the second wave of legislative combatives to fight the drunk driving problem was even higher fines AND MORE FOCUSED ENFORCEMENT through programs like Stop DWI. That actually worked... and reduced the amount of DWI arrests. Then... the state has a huge HOLE in their income... so the reduced the DWI limit down from .10 to .08. It's mostly a gimmick... but regardless of BAC numbers, I never arrested anyone for an alcohol related driving offense unless they were noticibly intoxicated.
I can remember when the limit was 0.15.
