Completely untrue - I've been a 'subject' in police department intoxication training, and have watched the BAC of myself and my fellow 'subjects' drop rather predicatbly over the course of an hour or two from 'going to jail' to 'probably shouldn't have driven but not over the limit'.
> The legal limit is very, very low, to the point where reasonable behavior is illegal.
Also untrue for most people - yes, if you are a high-function alcoholic you may be more able to perform basic tasks while at .08 or .1, but most people are significantly reduced in capcity when actually tested (not just 'I feel fine').

This all depends on your body weight, your sex, your genetic ability to metabolize alcohol, what you're doing, and what you've eaten. It's also important to say most people don't carry around a field breathalyzer, so you can't tell how many hours you'll need to get under the limit because you have no idea what your BAC is.
