That's interesting, because I've gone through a checkstop, told them I've had 2 beers over a few hours, and they just waived me on.
I do agree that the city could do more to discourage drunk driving. More taxi licenses, run C-trains and some major bus routes 24 hours. Years of statistics, as well as comments in this thread indicate that people will still drive drunk show that something needs to be done.
I'll admit that I have driven drunk in the past. I'm sure a lot of us that "know better" have also done that. My last time was the turn of the millenium, and 4 of us were on the phone to cab companies from 12:30 until 5:00. At 5:00 we got kicked out of the hall we were at, and had to do something to get home.
I'm not saying that in any way I was in the right. But the bottom line is that more cabs would have kept at least one drunk driver off the streets that night.
