They should not be held *less* accountable, but they should not be held *more* accountable, either. That was my point. If they blow a .08, give them a DUI *and* an illegal consumption, but don't give them a DUI for blowing a .02 or a .04.

By this reasoning, alcoholics over the age of 21 should have a *higher* BAC limit for DUI, since they would be more "used to" the effects of alcohol than a casual drinker. I think your assertion is baseless.
