Fine, then how about a level so low that one drink will put you over.

It takes ALOT of drinks to get over the legal limit. Recently there was
an episode of mythbusters where they purposely got drunk. I don't
remember how many they had (something like 13 over a couple hours?) and
that barely put them over the limit (0.08 in that jurisdiction).

If the limit were set to something like 0.01, where only ONE drink would
put you over, there wouldn't be anymore guesswork involved, if you
drink, AT ALL, you can't drive. I've lived by this and have never had a
problem following it. TTYL
