Cabinet are seriously deliberating whether or not to decrease the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for people 20 years and over from 0.08 to 0.05, and may make a decision over the next week or two. They are looking for a public signal and if they don't hear it, they are likely to go with the intense alcohol industry lobbying to maintain the status quo.
