Reagan pushes drunken driving bill through Senate
In California the Senate approves a presumptive limit on drunken driving. The measure, backed by Governor Reagan, would require about nine drinks for a 180 pound man to be deemed drunk, with lower thresholds for lighter individuals. Opponents doubt deterrence, while supporters frame it as medical fact-based and a state standard. The bill awaits Reagan's signature and would take effect three months after adjournment.
