What a load of cods-wallop.  Those in the temperance movement, and make no mistake, that's exactly what MADD is - a temperance movement,  are fond of using scientifically unsound catch-phrases such as "Impairment Starts With The First Drink."  The author of this piece is cut from the same cloth.  

Unless we have 0.00 as the only acceptable Blood Alcohol Content, then we must by definition, establish a BAC level beyond which one is considered impaired.  Which means in the converse, below that limit, one is not considered impaired.  It must be set at some level.  

There is no basis upon which to justify a change to 0.05 from 0.08 as being that ideal limit.  This is completely a political decision, not borne of research, science or evidence.  

Wasn't it Trudeau who pledged "evidence-based" decision making in his government?  What a hypocrite!
