If we want to reduce drunk driving let's look at why it exists in the first place. You won't get people to stop drinking, ever, no don't even try. Humans like to get their drunk on and we aren't stopping any time soon. People often end up driving drunk because there's no other way for them to get home. Our mass transit infrastructure in the States is laughably awful. Socially we make fun of and belittle people for not drinking when everybody else is, even if you're the one driving that night. Plus, like was said, the laws often just don't have teeth. Even then, deterrence can only do so much; it would be better if there was no need to drive drunk in the first place. In other cases we have stupid laws like giving somebody a "public intoxication" charge if they did the right thing and staggered home instead of driving. Hell there are some areas where police would give you a life home if you were doing the right thing. Now they just haul you off to jail and give you fines.
