you can get a dui at ANY BAC content if you're driving recklessly. in my case the officer had no reason to pull me over except hoping i was underage or drunk, which is exactly what he didn't get. i passed him, saw him. why the fuck wouldn't i come to a complete stop knowing there was a cop behind me on a friday night and i had consumed an alcoholic beverage?
Many consider a Designated Driver one who consumes
non alcoholic beverages so they are in the right frame of mind to safely drive those who have consumed alcoholic beverages home.
You can be under the legal limit and still have an accident and possibly kill someone. That kind of degrades the purpose of a designated Driver.
