After one, require a breathalyzer to be installed for a few years. After the second, required permanently.

The sooner "car culture" dies a horrible death and we have public transportation worth a drat, the sooner we can talk about harsh DUI penalties that people might actually abide by.
This is America, we'll get self-driving taxis long before then.

The 2nd amendment says you have the right to bear arms but if you commit a serious crime we take that right away. I don't see how a DUI is any different.

Ideally yes everyone who wants to can drive where they want, when they want, but if you do so in a way that endangers others' lives, then no. Your right to free movement does not trump others' right to life.

I remember reading something about how where Uber has become popular, drunk driving has gone way down, so more convenient taxis seems like a partial solution. Maybe an entire solution if they get widespread (and cheap) enough.

edit: after googling, "way down" was an exaggeration but looks like they have had some effect.
