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).
