ABI supports moderate, responsible alcohol consumption consistent with one’s own medical needs. Evidence supports the notion that moderate consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

ABI opposes equipping all vehicles with intrusive alcohol-sensing technology that would prevent responsible drivers from operating their vehicle while below the BAC arrest threshold.

Instead of spreading traffic safety resources too thinly by requiring low-BAC, first-time offenders to install interlocks, states should first ensure the most dangerous hardcore offenders comply with interlock orders.

Traffic deaths from both high and dangerous hardcore drunk drivers should be addressed, but separately. Tackling both of them under the same statute will only impede effectiveness and harm law abiding citizens.
