Impaired Logic, Indeed
Radley Balko hits one of my hot buttons with this post:
Despite all the "get tough" laws, the .08 limit, and sobriety roadblocks, a recent NTSB press released announced that highway deaths from "hardcore drinkers" are going up, not down.
Anyone who reads their local newspaper can figure this out--the overwhelming majority of all stories I read about drunk-driving fatalities has the perpetrator with an blood alcohol level of around 0.15 or more.
Yet no one ever seems to ask the neo-prohibitionists the obvious question: "What is the average blood alcohol level of all drunk drivers involved in fatality accidents?"
Be sure and read Balko's article at Tech Central Station
