But I hate drink driving, one of my best friends was killed because of a drunk driver and I was involved in an accident and my car got written off because of one

I think there should be a zero tolerance policy on it, none of this stupid limit thing. Alcohol affects everyone differently and noone actually knows the correct limit

It is attitudes like yours that do actually endanger lives. What happens when you think you are on the ball but maybe you arent. Going through red lights while accelerator harshly, yeah safe as houses that noone has ever been involved in an accident let alone been killed because of someone doing that have they?

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.
