A couple of points.

1) Clearly, removing someone's licence because they had blood tested confirming they were drunk at some point while not driving is a thought crime and not an actual crime. I have a huge problem with this.

2) When the government does everything don't be surprised to see certain synergies between different departments. Big government enabled this abuse.

Third point:

3) Clearly there is a temperance slant among government types. If you get drunk pretty much in any situation you can hypothetically get plowed by the fat legislative dong of government. For example getting drunk in your own house can have legal reprecussions if you happen to have your car keys in your pocket and car accessable, technically your in 'care and control' of your vehicle while intoxicated.
