Obviously no length or type of punishment will ever be enough for the people related to the victims of this stupidly preventable accident.
But the one thing the punishment has to accomplish (IMO) is be an absolute deterrent to others to not drink and drive.
I would say 20 years in jail, with yearly videos of him describing his day to day life, and the remorse he feels in making an horribly tragic decision. Make this video required viewing to anyone getting their licence.
I could respect this man if he showed remorse, accepted responsibility for his actions, and dedicated his life to showing society the consequences of the decision he made that took the lives of 5 people.
