To be clear, I'm not wild about Reason and my position wasn't made or particularly aligned with the argument in that article.
But I didn't feel like typing a three-thousand word essay and that article covers many of the problems and was fairly easy to find.
I'm also not out to persuade anyone. If you're not convinced, cheers. But at least be aware of the technical limitations of the breathalyzer, the liberties being infringed by drunk driving checkpoints and mandatory breathalyzer and blood tests and the punishments that begin at accusation or assertion of your rights, rather than after due process.
- dalke 15y agoI agree with many of those points. The problem I have is that article contains enough suspicious information that it's easy for a reader to assume the other points are cherry-picked in order to justify a specific political viewpoint. In other words, it isn't convincing and I don't think it's a good link for this context.

These talk more about the justice involved, without getting into misinterpretable numbers like the Reason article did. Anyway, for the original questioner, try doing a search for "War on DUI" for more essays like these.
