Science panel backs lower drunken driving threshold
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Most women would need to
draw the line at two drinks,
and men at two or three if
states follow a blueprint by
a prestigious scientific panel
for eliminating the “entirely
preventable” 10,000 alco-
hol-impaired driving deaths
in the United States each
year.
The
U.S.
govern-
ment-commissioned report
by a panel of the National
Academies of Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine
made multiple recommenda-
tions, including significantly
lowering drunken driving
thresholds. It calls for
lowering the blood-alcohol
concentration threshold from
0.08 to 0.05. All states have
0.08 thresholds. A Utah law
passed last year that lowers
the state’s threshold to 0.05
doesn’t go into effect until
Dec. 30.
The amount of alcohol
required to reach 0.05 would
depend on several factors,
including the person’s size
and whether the person has
recently eaten. The report
cites studies indicating most
women over 120 pounds
would reach 0.05 after two
drinks. Men weighing up
to about 160 pounds would
likely reach the lower
threshold at two, and those
over 180 pounds at three.
The panel, in its 489-page
report, also recommended

A prestigious scientific panel is recommending that
states significantly lower their drunken driving thresh-
olds as part of a blueprint to eliminate the “entirely
preventable” 10,000 alcohol-impaired driving deaths in
the United States each year.
that states significantly
increase alcohol taxes and
make alcohol less conve-
niently available, including
reducing the hours and days
alcohol is sold in stores, bars
and restaurants. Research
suggests a doubling of
alcohol taxes could lead
to an 11 percent reduction
in traffic crash deaths, the
report said.
It also calls for cracking
down on sales to people
under 21 or who are already
intoxicated to discourage
binge drinking, and putting
limits on alcohol marketing
while funding anti-alcohol
campaigns similar to those
against smoking.
All the proposals are
likely to draw fierce oppo-
sition from the alcohol
and restaurant industries.
The American Beverage
Institute took out full-page
newspaper ads opposing
Utah’s new law that featured
a fake mugshot under a large
headline reading, “Utah:
Come for vacation, leave on
probation.”
The recommendation in
the academies’ report for
lowering the blood-alcohol
threshold would “do nothing
to deter” repeat offenders
and drivers with high
blood-alcohol levels, who
represent the “vast majority”
of alcohol-impaired driving
deaths, the Distilled Spirits
Council said in a statement.
The council said it also
doesn’t support the report’s
recommendations for “tax
increases and advertising
bans, which will have little or
no impact on traffic safety.”
The report points out that
“alcohol-impaired driving
remains the deadliest and
costliest danger on U.S.
roads,” accounting for 28
percent of traffic deaths.
Each day, 29 people in the
U.S. die in alcohol-related
crashes and many more are
injured. Forty percent of
those killed are people other
than the drunken driver.
Rural areas are dispro-
portionately affected. In
2015, 48 percent of drunken
driving fatalities occurred in
rural areas.
The report says many
strategies have been effec-
tive to prevent drunken
driving, but “a coordinated
multilevel approach across
multiple sectors will be
required
to
accelerate
change.”
“The
problem
isn’t
intractable,” the report said.
From the early 1980s
to the early 2000s, there
was significant progress
as the result of an increase
in the drinking age to 21,
decreases in the blood-al-
cohol threshold, and other
measures, the report said.
But since then, progress has
stagnated and recently has
begun to reverse.

Cellphone jamming system tested at Maryland prison
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP)
— Federal prisons officials
on Wednesday tested a
jamming technology inside
the walls of a federal prison, a
rare move that authorities said
they hope will help combat
the danger posed by inmates
with cellphones.
The test was conducted
over several hours Wednesday
morning at a federal prison
in Cumberland, Maryland,
Assistant Attorney General
Beth Williams told The Asso-
ciated Press as the testing
took place. Williams didn’t
give specifics of how the test
worked but said it marks a
step in the fight to cut down
on inmates’ ability to commu-
nicate unsupervised and carry
on with criminal efforts.
Similar tests occurred
in 2010, but Williams said
Wednesday’s effort was
significant because jamming
technology has evolved,
as have inmates’ efforts to
smuggle in the devices. Such
tests, she said, could lead to
the broader use of technol-
ogies like jamming inside
prisons to immobilize inmate
phones, which officials across
the country have described as
their No. 1 security threat.
“Today is a big step, and
the reason really is that,
as criminals increase their
capacity to commit crimes
behind bars, we have to
increase our capacity to stop
them,” Williams told AP.
The renewed interest in
jamming within federal facili-
ties follows an announcement
by Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein, who told a
national meeting of correc-
tions officials that federal
prisons would start testing the
technology anew.
“That is a major safety
issue,” he said in his speech.
“Cellphones are used to
run criminal enterprises,
facilitate the commission of
violent crimes and thwart law
enforcement.”
The
federal
Bureau
of Prisons, which houses
185,000 inmates, confis-
cated more than 5,000
cellphones from inmates in
2016, Williams said, and
preliminary figures show that
number rose last year.
