For those of you boating in Ohio the legal limits is now .08 not .10.
For anyone under the age of 21 the legal limit is .02. Those under 21

in my opinion, there should be no limit - you got alcohol on your
breath, you in jail for 30 days, license revoked for a year.
no exceptions.
I second that.
Connecticut used to do that with speeders; that is, you lost your license
for the first offense.
I would set a really low blood-alcohol level for DUI and impose a jail
sentence for conviction about that level. That measurement would not be
tripped for the equivalent of one beer or one cocktail. If your
blood-alcohol level indicates two or three (or more) drinks in a short
period of time, your goose is cooked.
You can get pretty looped on one cocktail if you had an empty stomach
beforehand, and maybe you're tired, too. Some bars pour real drinks, too.
