<<Off Topic>>> DUI/DWI diana g writes: I believe that people's ability to function at .1% or .08% varies widely. Individuals inherently have different tolerances to alcohol. And it seems obvious to me that many people who are regular drinkers are quite competent drivers after a few drinks, whereas others who don't drink regularly (like me) are likely to be impaired at much lower alcohol levels. This is fallacy Diana. Studies have shown degradation of measurable reactions to be unrelated to the frequency of alcohol use. Yes, some people look like they can hold their alcohol, but their reaction time is affected very much the same as that of a teetotaller. That said, I have driven at moderate alcohol levels and there are things a driver can do to compensate when you know you are impaired: slow down, increase following distance, reduce distractions (music etc), pay attention. -Joel
