Do you think the tradeoff is worth it?

Probably because we have laws designed to prevent drinking and driving and we keep seeing a reduction in the prevalence of drunk-driving with every successive generation, indicating these laws are effective. And actually the trade-off is deaths due to drunk-driving vs. deaths due to drunk-driving + the violence associated with prohibition.
