It's not legal to drink and drive. It's legal to drink, but not drive after doing it.

See, this right here is why a few others in this thread have pegged you as an idiot. Oh, but those people you're talking about who can't afford the ten or twenty bucks for a cab ride can afford to buy drinks though.
Not knowing your blood alcohol status is no excuse. Period. If there is any doubt, a responsible person simply doesn't do it, they get a ride or phone the wife to come get them or they take a bus, or a CAB.
"I didn't intend to hurt anyone".... yeah, good argument buddy. Tell that to the family of the person or persons you just killed because you were too stupid to know that you were at risk.

If my argument is invalid, why does society and it's laws support my side of the argument?
You obviously haven't had a close friend or family member or girlfriend/wife/kid killed by a driver who was impaired. I hope you never come to find out first-hand what that feels like, but if there are more people like you with your skewed and misinformed opinion out there the law of averages say you just might.
