My feeling on this has always been... sure I COULD drive. I have the ability and legal limit has not been reached, but I can also wait until more of the alcohol is out of my system. I am a high-functioning drunk, and I know I could quite easily drive home with a .08, but I don't ever NEED to. There are always more options.
If you felt like you were drunk, there are no excuses for you driving. Legal limit be damned. I hate to sound like an asshole, but that's how I feel.
This girl has issues regarding this, and I don't blame her. It's tough to lose someone to something completely preventable. I do think she should talk to you and explain why she is cutting communication better, but it's her call. I don't think you owe anyone an apology, though.
