If I can uphold my care for myself and others while plastered, why can't other people? I'd argue it's because they don't think they'll get caught or they don't think anything bad will happen to them. And if nothing else, stiffer penalties can't possibly result in increased incidents of drunk driving, can it?
The two road bikers who were killed outside Pemberton last week were hit by a thrice-convicted drunk driver who was driving on a suspended license. Just so tragic.

From my experience, "entitlement" seems to increase proportionally in a lot of drunk people.
