I don't buy that, the laws in place now can really affect the offender for many years. Criminal record (which alone can burden someone for over four years), a year ban from driving (not to mention huge hikes in insurance rates if you can even find a company to insure you), huge fines, legal fees, and that's all on the first offense, second offenses can carry jail time...
I don't think it's the penalty that is the problem but...

There's the ticket. Here's a thread I posted showing holiday drunk driving statistics... not enough is being done to catch offenders to act as a deterent.
