We do.  It is zero.  It is also well documented that drivers who meet the 
"legal" limits of alcohol are still impaired.  Comforting feeling as you 
drive on a dark rainy night, isn't it?  Dunno what the "acceptable" alcohol 
level is in your state, but levels like 0.08% are pretty common, and that is 
still "therapeutic" in any pharmacologist's book, I'm sure, and quite 
detectable by quite antiquated technology.  By the same token, as I stated in 
my last post, other sports have defined similar "levels" which means that you 
can treat the rehabbing horse right up to a certain cut-off time and then go 
compete, never giving him adequate time to heal.  That is the bottom line.
