It shouldn't be 0.0%, but 0.08% is quite generous. At 0.02%, it is clearly detectable with equipment but you aren't likely to notice. Some people also naturally have a constant BAC in the 0.01% range. At 0.05%, you definitely feel it and are twice as likely to cause an accident than sober.

4 beers in an hour is a significant amount. People who drink that much and drive are not hardasses. They are murderers.

Get off the road.

    It should most definitely NOT be .00. That would lead to massive abuse by the police as having a sip of cold medicine could land you a dui.

    Some counties are 0.0%. My friend in Japan slept in his car after a night if drinking and got pulled over the next morning (I think cops had seen him in the car and were waiting). He had 0.1% 0.01 and got deported
