The founder of madd in america thinks they went too far though. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/aug/6/20020806-035702-2222r/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2002/aug/6/20020806-035... > Candy Lightner, MADD’s founder, says she disassociated herself from the movement in 1985 because she believed the organization was headed in the wrong direction. > “It has become far more neo-prohibitionist than I had ever wanted or envisioned,” said Mrs. Lightner, who founded MADD after her daughter was killed by a drunk driver. “I didn’t start MADD to deal with alcohol. I started MADD to deal with the issue of drunk driving.” > Several years after she left MADD, Mrs. Lightner briefly represented the American Beverage Institute in its fight against the 0.08 percent BAC law. She also lobbied Congress to enforce tougher penalties for drunk drivers. Maybe she took up that position after getting hired by the beverage industry or not I don't know but she did lose a child to a drunk driver. 0.08 is probably too strict as the consequences of that are really severe and as evidenced basically no more impairing than widely used daily antihistamines.
