I just want them off the streets.

The reality is that there are many more drunk drivers out there than the ones that get caught. A solution that involves higher taxes on alcohol that produces more options for public transportation or taxis is something that is more palatable than stiffer penalties.
In my opinion, the penalties are just fine, it's the enforcement that is the issue, and the lack of options for the offenders.
