Description

Research indicates that signs of impairment begin at a blood alcohol content of zero point zero five, leading to a doubling of crash risk and significant drops in reaction times, coordination, and decision-making. Utahs experience shows a nineteen point eight percent decrease in fatal crashes after lowering the limit to zero point zero five. Despite concerns, Washington States bill to lower the limit to zero point zero five is in the X file, potentially for a vote in the short session from January to March twenty twenty-six. An Inlander staff experiment demonstrated the effects of alcohol, showing that it takes less hard liquor than expected to reach zero point zero eight and that effects linger longer than anticipated.
