Any sort of deliberate action breaking the law when driving is as willful as any other.
As for zero tolerance there is no such thing, where do you set the limit, some peoples metabolism naturally create a certain level of alcohol in the body if they eat fruit for example.

I bet you still feed the wheel.
I always work on a 2 second rule, if its going on to amber, if I think I can make it
before its red then I'll put my foot down, if not then I'll brake. If I ever go through a red light its when its literally just turned red, its not like I randomly sit at traffic lights and then drive into oncoming traffic whilst its red, just keep going without looking or floor the accelerator so I'm going 50mph through the lights. In theory, doing that won't cause an accident because I still keep a good distance from the car in front and the traffic lights for oncoming traffic will still be on red too.
And there is such thing as zero tolerance, metabolism isn't going to put the same amount of alcohol into your bloodstream as drinking a pint so limits need to be kept at a minimal level. The current system allows you to drink a fair bit
