In France and in Russia, of all places, the limit is 0.0 for drivers. Same in Norway and Sweden. Sorry, but it makes a great deal of sense and stresses that paying full attention to driving is an extremely serious requirement in those countries. I don’t view it as anti-alcohol (yes, I am a wine drinker); only that if you want to go to a restaurant and drink to your heart’s content, someone else has to drive. This could have averted a lot of totally unnecessary tragedies, both for the drivers and those whose lives they have destroyed, for no good reason, not for any reason.

Life is full of tragedies, any cluster of which could be use to justify increasing intrusions on freedom. Let’s not be like Finland or whatever other socialist paradise you can name.
