For me it's not about the death/crash statistics--I've seen video of a dozen people who believed they would be fine at .08, took a driving test on a closed course, drank until they blew exactly .08, and then took the test again. They were all impaired to some degree (despite being familiar with the course the second go-round,) and most to the degree that they accidentally "hit" something on the course.
Some people may be fine at .08. But many definitely are not. Unless we work out a program involving UT's heavyweight/lightweight boozer license designation, the state has to go with the safest common denominator.
