In Germany, they only care when they are out to get drunk drivers (i.e. police stop and breathalyze. It's only an "extra bonus" when they can charge even at a lower blood alcohol level. As I don't tend to drive a car at the time and location where serious drinking violations are expected, I have no knowledge whether "being out to get drunk drivers" is something they still do (it was a topic around 1990; probably this year are more interested in seaching for weed).
