Its one thing to drink and drive sensibly, its another to be drunk and driving....

But the point is that (according to the law, don't blame me) when you get to that magic BAC number, you are now lacking in judgment to determine when you've hit your limit. So, because alcohol inhibits judgment, when do you reach the point where you are now drunk and can no longer "drive sensibly"? And even if you think you're at the point over the limit where you can still do that, alcohol consumption decreases motor function and response time, so if there is an emergency situation, you may not react in time to prevent it.
That's the theory, at least. The fact that people ignore the law doesn't make it right.
