editorial ZERO EFFECT Proposed law will ultimately do little to reduce drunken driving-related deaths.

Congress is currently deliberating on a law that would lower the national legal blood-alcohol level for drivers from .10 percent to .08 percent. The change would supposedly show that legislators are serious about reducing the number of alcohol-related traf- fic deaths. But statistics show that the vast majority of such acci- dents occur when a driver's blood-alcohol level is up to two times the legal limit. And the difference between the .10 and .08 levels is often less than one drink. It stands to reason, then, that reducing the limit by that little will not have the dramatic effect lawmakers may be hoping for. Granted, if even one life is saved, the change will have made a difference. But the limited effects of the proposed law do little to enforce the heart of the issue: People who drink should not drive. Ever. No matter how many drinks they have had. Most people at a party or other social event don't stop to think of when they should cut themselves off, and people who have had even one drink are hardly likely to be able to do the math required to figure their blood-alcohol content. If the current measures are ineffective, a dramatic move needs to be made in order to be made in order to scare drinkers into giving up their keys. J.P.
