IIRC, it used to be 0.10, but was lowered to 0.08 because some studies (and maybe some advocacy groups) found out that there was significant impairment at 0.08 BAC.

The number really shouldn't be round. It should be the number where 99.999% of people are not too impaired to drive a car.

    Driving simulation studies show impairment far below 0.08.

    0.08 is pretty fucking drunk.
