This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you think of the Missouri legislature's efforts to lower the legal limit for driving while intoxicated from .10 of 1 percent to .08 of 1 percent?
Julie Rush, Jackson
"I think that no matter what the limit is if you're drinking you shouldn't be out driving. I would support that.
Vera Burger, New Hamburg
"I think it would be good to lower it."
Jim Frie, Cape Girardeau
"I think if that will deter people from drinking and driving...that's a good thing."
Michael Edwards, Cape Girardeau
"I don't think they should because...I've got a lot of friends who drink and I drink occassionaly and after one beer...they say you won't pass a Breathalyzer. I don't think they should lower it. I think they should raise it."
Anthony Ross, Cape Girardeau
"I think it's bad because a lot of people like to drink. There are a lot of people going out there drinking and they don't get a DWI. I think they should leave it like it is."
