This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait, are you saying BAC while driving must be 0.00 in some parts of the States, or am I misunderstanding? It's 0.05 in most (all?) parts of Australia (except if you're in a restricted licence category). It's not encouraged, but it's legal.
Figured you guys would have more permissive laws than we do.
No I'm saying you're not allowed to be drinking alcohol while you drive. Which you are in Mississippi.
USA freedom warriors (tm) on Reddit say 'that's fine because they still have to be under the legal limit'. Unable to fathom that the idea of normalizing drinking alcohol while you drive encourages irresponsible behaviour amongst other negatives, beyond just staying under the BAC limit.
Ahhh, yeah, that's a bit cooked. The freedom warriors bit isn't surprising, though. You'd expect them to be in favour of "the freedom to be as irresponsible as you like".
