I saw that on TV. Kind of weird but that is Ireland.

From the article...
Nationwide, Ireland has been cracking down on drunken driving, according to Irish news outlet Independent.ie, which reports that drivers are now allowed only 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood, "equivalent to drinking less than one pint of beer." But permits proposed in the Kerry measure would allow rural residents to consume "two or three drinks," per the Guardian.

So in other words, this proposal would raise the blood alcohol limit to around .08. The same as it is in America.
 
I agree with the change they made locally. Less than a pint of beer is criminal? I don't agree.

The government went on to condemn all alcohol in response in a total prohibition sense claiming alcohol leads to suicide.
