That is required in many jurisdictions. It helps keep drunks from getting behind the wheel again before they sober up. And a preview of consequences to come isn't a bad line of logic either.

Cough syrup, maybe?" You partly answered your own question. It is possible to have alcohol in the blood stream from substances other than beer, wine, whiskey, etc. The main thing, though, is that the legislature can set a limit for minors wherever they wish. This is where they picked. David for citrus flavored mouth wash (in moderation, of course) REGARDING:

The .02 is because other things can be detected as ETOH and that's the margin of error. For a minor to get a DUI only takes a .02..

Sad day for all. Glad they are both safe, and did NOT kill someone else's loved one because of their ignorance. And yes, how can the juvenile have a blood alcohol level “which is nine times the legal limit for drivers under 21″ when the legal age for alcohol is 21? Sorry, but can we say Dumb and Dumber(sp?).
