Quite a few of the laws aren't written that way.

A 0.08 is dead to rights guilty--generally a DWI--driving while intoxicated.

However you very much can be convicted of DUI--driving under the influence--even if you blow significantly less than 0.08. This is especially true if the police also have you on video doing something stupid or speeding excessively.
