This approach to drunk driving is asinine and unnecessarily punitive. Our present drunk driving laws do *nothing* to prevent people who have had too much to drink from getting behind the wheel. The focus of these laws should be on getting intoxicated people off the road right away, *before* they have the chance to do harm, not on punishing them after the fact. Harm reduction works. Cite them for a moving violation, send them home in a taxi at their expense, and impound the car overnight; pay for extra enforcement with the money saved by avoiding incarceration.
