Charles V. Peña, the former Executive director of the MADD Northern Virginia Chapter.
Peña confirms what many of us suspected: the anti-drunk driving campaign is merely an attempt to return to Prohibition.

When it began in the 1980s MADD was about saving lives.
Too many drunken drivers were harming themselves and others.
MADD spearheaded the passage of tough laws across the nation.
Unfortunately this original noble goal of removing drunk drivers from the roadway was co-opted.
Instead, the goal became removing drivers with any amount of ethanol on board from the roadway.
None for the road became the real goal despite what the law said.
In furtherance of that goal, MADD pushed the .08% blood alcohol standard.
To justify the .08 standard, MADD “cooked the books” to make .08 seem much more dangerous than it is for most drivers.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data show that the average BAC level in a fatal crash where a driver was actually tested is .17% — more than twice the .08% BAC standard.
Second, the typical DWI fatality is caused by a person who has had more than nine drinks before driving.
Third, nearly two-thirds of alcohol related deaths involve drivers with BACs of .15% or more..08 is a fraud.
The studies backing its effectiveness are goal directed and not scientifically validated.
The goal is prohibition.
Now the claim is that impairment is seen in BACs as low as .02.
