A one strike you're out policy just doesn't seem realistic to me.

How difficult is it to make arrangements to sleep at whatever party you get drunk at (if in a rural community), or call a cab/ride public transit (in the city)?

If you can't afford to do either, you probably shouldn't be drinking to begin with.

So prohibition, but only for the poor.

No. More along the lines of "stop making stupid decisions" or "Plan to get wasted when you also have a place to sleep it off" and not "Get wasted, attempt to drive self home" because that is beyond moronic.

EDIT: We've had "Drink Responsibly" campaigns for decades, where (outside of ads for specific products) the emphasis is on having a Designated Driver or a nearby friend's place you can crash at without having to drive there. It should be at the point of near-instinctual conditioning by now, kind of like the "look both ways before crossing the street" types of conditioning we're all put through as kids.
