Yes there are fewer drunk drivers now but there are still A LOT? It is not like it is a rare occurance.
In 2007, 1054 Canadians died in traffic accidents due to alcohol. In 1982, it was 2501. While still too many, the laws have been effective, since 1450 fewer Canadians are dead each year because of those laws.
