Driving While Sober

The organization Mothers Against Civil Liberties, otherwise known as the Mothers Against Drunk Driving, must love Washington DC. An article in this morning's Washington Post shows that you can get a ticket for drunk driving even with a blood alcohol level of 0.01. That is not a typo - 0.01, as opposed to the legal limit in some states of 0.10. At that low of a limit, it is even possible for the Listerine with which you just rinsed your mouth to register.

I'm a strong advocate of keeping drunk drivers off the road, but I personally view this as being completely ridiculous. Some people just won't be happy until we have restored Prohibition.
