Last time I checked US transportation statistics more fatalities were caused by excessive speed than impaired driving.
While you are driving sober... slow down.
I’m a great drunk driver; 5-6 beers later, shoulder checking, situationally aware. .08 for some isn’t .08 for others. Sally Sorority sniffs half a cap of cooler and blow bangs the lacrosse team and suddenly I can’t have a scotch with my steak

If you have been drinking, your reaction speed slows down. It does. Now, if you were only harming yourself, I’d agree, do what you want. However, you’re not alone on the road, and you’re a danger to others. That’s why you can’t have scotch with your steak. Not because the state hates you and wants to patronise you, but because they don’t really like it when people die.
Once when I was younger I got pulled over for a broken taillight and arrested after blowing a .04. The case was dismissed, but only after 5,000 in legal fees and a lot of hell. If you won't catch a ride to keep other people alive (which you should, no one gives a fuck about your scotch and steak if it means there's a CHANCE you're putting someone's life at risk), do it because sobriety tests are totally subjective and cops can arrest you no matter what your percentage is.
