You missed my point...no drink at all, means no BAC to begin with.

Not your "drink, then sober up, then drive and get caught" version. Don't drink to begin with. Or don't drive afterwards, period.

So what's the real reason behind your rant on this? Your kid get caught driving after drinking? Or you trying to become a lawyer? I'm interested why you're so hot on this topic, when the issue according to the police officers here isn't as common as you seem to make it out to be.
