I can't account for the contents of dictionary.com, but that is certainly not the law in England.
I was surprised to read your post, very surprised in fact. You've taken an active part in previous alcohol threads in which I've explained the law in a way which I thought was very clear.
If it wasn't, there's nothing more I can do.
I'm at a loss to think of any way in which I could make it clearer than I have already - several times.
My intention was to show that sometimes words have different meanings depends on how you want to interpret them. You did use "impaired" not drunk, I already stated in the past that I do not think the use of the word drunk is appropriate at all in such thread. Thanks to you I understood pretty well the law in England.
However I do not agree with statements such as "being over the limit does not mean be drunk" implying fitness for duty..
