Exactly. The prescribed limits do not take into account anything about the individual. There are plenty of stone cold sober folks driving today who are more of a danger than someone who has had a couple of beers and is sitting ~ .08 BAL. If anything, someone who has had a couple of beers is likely to be *more* careful because they know they've been drinking. These aren't the chronic alcoholics with .20 BAL that you *really* want off the street.
Note that I do not drink so I'm not making excuses for my own behavior.
