The legal threshold to be considered driving under the influence could be changing soon in Washington state. A divided state Senate voted 26–23 yesterday to narrowly approve legislation reducing the legal blood alcohol limit for driving from 0.08% to 0.05%. If passed by the House and signed into law by the governor, Washington would join Utah as the strictest state in the nation on drunk driving. A handful of Senate Democrats voted in opposition. Opponents argue the lower limit won’t significantly improve safety and could hurt bars and restaurants.
