OC getting arrested is a bad look regardless of circumstances. Hopefully he learns his lesson.

The key word that is not being emphasized here is that it is driving under the Influence, not driving drunk. The fact is that anything around that level can potentially affect your reflexes and attention to some degree and that degree that does not take much and that is why the law is there. Go tell the parents who lives have been changed forever by someone who felt like a few beers didn't affect them about how .08 is too low. It's pretty simple, if you are going to drink more than one of anything don't drive, in this day of Uber and Lyft there is no reason to take that chance.
The woman who started MADD lost a child IIRC,

Fact is driving while eating, texting, driving with children or pets and many other common things are as likely or even more likely to cause the same issues and are far more common occuramces. Maybe its time for people to focus their rage towards the bigger problems? Not saying DUI isn't a concern, but there are some damn big hypocrites out there condemning one while doing something worse themselves. How about those whose vision or reflexes have declined to the point where they shouldn't be driving.... they cause a lot of accidents
..maybe we should talk about mandatory testing for the elderly at more frequent rates?

I spend a lot of time on the road for work and personal, honestly somebody driving after a couple 3 beers concerns me much less than a lot of others falling into these other categories.

Absolutely there are so many things today that are distracting drivers and putting others at risk. See someone almost daily swerving around from being on their phone. I would like to see stricter reinforcements on all of these things mentioned. That being said we cannot say that one or the other is a bigger problem. They are all bigger problems and I think anyone is justified in having very strong feelings about any of these issues.
