Idaho Alcohol may no longer mix well on federal land in Idaho
Idaho may be catching up to other states when it comes to enforcing alcohol and drug laws as some loopholes are about to be closed.
IDAHO - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is getting one step closer to getting more power over alcohol enforcement on its lands in Idaho. More than 12 million acres of federal lands lie within Idaho’s borders, but because no supplemental rules to the BLM’s authority exist there, the agency can’t do much when it comes to enforcing open container and drinking and driving violations.
But that is about to change. Recently, the BLM announced it would begin the process of adding supplemental rules to its enforcement capabilities in Idaho. The new rules would allow BLM officers in Idaho to enforce open container and under-age drinking laws as well as drug laws. Currently, they can only write tickets or call local law enforcement when an issue arises. Most western states have supplemental rules for the BLM to deal with this sort of thing, but not Idaho.
As for how big of a deal alcohol and drug abuse has become across the nation, apparently it’s bigger than one might think. A report from the Magic Valley News in Twin Falls Idaho quotes BLM Law Enforcement Ranger Keith McGrath as saying, “on BLM land nationwide, we’ve seen an increasing trend in crime over the past decade,” McGrath said. “Regardless of the offense, the commonality is alcohol.”
Bringing Idaho’s BLM enforcement capabilities up to the same level of other states will not be an instant move. From now until November 22nd the agency will be taking public comments on the idea. This will be interesting to keep track of.
On a personnel level, I have lived in western states where any bolstering of the BLM’s power tends to be met with skepticism. On the other hand, if this is becoming a local law enforcement problem, it’s likely to gain support from the fine folks in Idaho.

Alcohol Treatment Centers by City in Idaho Listed Alphabetically: | | Quick Drug Facts |
Alcohol and drug abuse cost the American economy an estimated 276 billion dollars per year in lost productivity, health care expenditures, crime, motor vehicle crashes and other conditions.
|
Nearly a dozen states with a .08 BAC level have proposed reducing this level to .06 or lower. Washington State has actually had legislation proposed to make even .02 illegal. This level is exceeded by consuming less than one drink or by simply using mouthwash. Half of all intoxicated drivers involved in fatal accidents have a BAC of .17 (nearly nine times higher than .02) or greater.
|
While in United States, 0.10% level is considered the legal limit for safe driving for common carriers and 0.04% BAC is considered for aviators; countries like Russia, Norway, Poland, Sweden permits the level of 20 mg/deciliter, while countries like Australia, Argentina permits 0.05% level of BAC. In India the legally permissible limit is 40 mg/deciliter, while. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Romania, and Czech Republic have completely banned this.
|
Worldwide, adults consume on average 5 liters of pure alcohol from beer, wine and spirits per year.
