And yet I assume no move is being made to assess and potentially update it!

Did you read the article about MADD and how they're pushing for a 0.00 legal limit, basically because they need to justify their continued existence now that inebriated driving is regulated/policed and so on? I'll try to find it if you didn't.

In addition, I'll note that when I attempt to find out from a government institution how much I should drink a day, what comes up is the "National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism." Seems like an agency with a very clear agenda and bias to me. (The government says one drink a day, by the way. Clearly, the government does not believe in having any fun. Also, what, they don't want my taxes? C'moonnnnn.)

I know that their original membership is all gone and what's left is crusaders. But if you find that article, I'll read it.

See, I'm pretty sure it was on Reddit and my opinions were flavored by the comments. What I can find that seems about right is this but Reddit claims the link's never been submitted. This is clearly wrong because I was doing a site:reddit.com search on Google.

Radley Balko seems to be the loudest voice in this corner. I wish I could find something not by him, but it is what it is. I think the first article is the best if you don't want to waste your time.

Reddit, who? On Hubski, though.

Damn I done been found out but I don't know how I managed that. This must be what they mean about crappy search functions. (Or I had way too many tabs open and sourced improperly.)

Well, there's this.
