Well it sucks that we as a society tolerate getting drunk, and then getting behind the wheel and gas pedal of 2 tons of metal.
I'll call anyone a liar who says they don't know at least a dozen people who have had drunk driving convictions. Although the laws have gotten a lot harder on those who drive drunk, the standard stigma that goes along with it is nonexistent unless you drive for a living and end up losing your job along with your driver's license.
You can buy a breathalyzer for under $100, you can exercise common sense for free.
